the following categories?

Celebrity 'nice' MNer

Celebrity 'naughty' MNer

Visiting 1 problem poster

Secret journo poster

Short lived poster, 'visiting' from another site and feeling like a tourist abroad, enjoyed it while it lasts but happy to go back to the home comforts

Majority MNers, well everyone else really who fill in the gaps between the top 2 groups' discussions, without anyone really noticing

and now the returning 'Zombies'

This follows on from whomovedmychocolate's thread here and I thought I would throw it to the AIBU wolves

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 21:41

who are the celebrity MN? why are they nice/naughty?

pombear · 21/07/2009 21:41

Oh crap...knew I didn't fit anywhere in MNlife, let alone RL! Category for long, long term member, posts seldom, only to come out from shadows to support others who may benefit from a bit of TLC?? Nope?? OK - will shuffle back to long-term lurker status, I guess.

@ Geocentric.

Not trying to imply anything, are we?

Geocentric · 21/07/2009 21:45

Nope, no implications implied!

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 21:45

I am a serial namechanger
I have a fear of stalkers, gawd knows why as I am not interesting.

so, celeb MN I know are...

morningpaper
hunkermunker
custardo
trillianastra (why that name? makes me wonder)
Macdog

KiwiKat · 21/07/2009 21:45

I want a category for us Kats or Cats. We are many ...

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 21:45

is a trillianastra a constellation?
or does she drive an astra?

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 21/07/2009 21:46

Hmmmmm.

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 21:46

actually a lot of MN have furry animal names.

Mamazon · 21/07/2009 21:47

hmmmmm hate to think which one i fit into then

MollieOolala · 21/07/2009 21:48

I was a long term lurker - over 4 years!

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 21:48

plumprumpsoggybaps you fall into the body parts category, ?
also with vinegartits?

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 21:49

good lord this thread is enticing all the lurkers

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 21:50

I am in a swineflu promoting category.

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 21/07/2009 21:54

Ah now, see, I knew someone would come up with a better category.

Thank you, Voodoo.

MIAonline · 21/07/2009 21:55

I know, good job we added the long term lurker category

OP posts:
alicecrail · 21/07/2009 21:59

How about the majority mnetters be known simply as fluff? or filling?

I think TrillianAstra's name is from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy - i'm sure i remember her explaining it as such

AtheneNoctua · 21/07/2009 22:01

Why is there a category for furry animals but not feathered ones? (stomp stomp stomp)

OrmIrian · 21/07/2009 22:05

Majority poster here. But soooo much more interesting

MIAonline · 21/07/2009 22:18

I agree OrmIrian, the majority MNers are more interesting than I have made us them sound.

I think there are probably a great deal of sub groups in the majority category.

OP posts:
VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 22:20

we like subgroups.
by promoting swineflu I hasten to add I am promoting awareness only, and not it in itself

maybe I fall in the 'rushes to post and so potentially offends many other Mn without realising it' category

VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 22:21

and lately Im sure there is a group for 'disgruntled and prejudiced nursery staff'

MIAonline · 21/07/2009 22:22

I did wonder Voodoo

OP posts:
VoodootheSneezyPig · 21/07/2009 22:22

maybe I just switched to the 'naughty but not famous' group.
or 'likes to stir' group, there are a few MN in that!
