It's in the Mail so it must be true.

I dont understand your answer Pan.

I presume mumsnet doesnt select them in some way to appear on MN?

Pan · 07/02/2013 20:07

Oh they do amillionyears. It's a way of silencing us. Yer matriarchy,innit?

Dadsnet doesn't get posted in very often, so it won't appear very often in active threads.

But the conspiracy theory sounds more fun, so yes that's the reason.

Daddelion, so all Dadsnet threads appear on MN?

Didnt realise that. How odd.

Why is it odd?

Of course they do, amillionyears - they are threads/posts like any other thread/post on MN. If someone posts in there, it will appear in Active Convos. Why on earth would you think they wouldn't?

amillionyears · 07/02/2013 20:23

Because all Mumsnet posts dont appear in Dadsnet.
Or do they?

And Gransnet, do they all appear here as well?

And again, all Mumsnet dont appear in active convos on Gransnet.
or do they.

Now I am much confused.

Pan · 07/02/2013 20:28

Dadsnet is just like any other topic, amillionyears. If you post in a thread that is under the 'topic' Dadsnet, it appears in Active Convos, like it would in Chat or AIBU. The name suggests that it's somehow separate, but it just another topic.

Just not a v active one....

is that clearer?

TheDoctrineOfSciAndNatureClub · 07/02/2013 20:28

Amillion, Dadsnet is just a section like Chat or Recipes.

Gransnet is a separate site.

There's a Mumsnet? Where?

We're not allowed out of here often.

Gransnet is a completely separate site. Dadsnet is a board within Mumsnet.

Pan · 07/02/2013 20:30

Nooo, Gransnet is another 'topic' on MN. Shorely?

BIWI · 07/02/2013 20:31

Gransnet is a completely separate site. Dadsnet is a board within Mumsnet.

(Although what makes it confusing is that there is also a Gransnet board within Mumsnet!)

amillionyears · 07/02/2013 20:31

I learn something new every day!

Also, when I went over to Dadsnet today, there were some sports topics.
Cant say I have ever seen them appear in Active Convos. Maybe I go round with my eyes a bit shut.

BIWI · 07/02/2013 20:31

Sorry Pan! Your sanity is safe.

amillionyears · 07/02/2013 20:32

BIWI, you have lost me completely now!

Pan · 07/02/2013 20:33

Alphabetically, Gransnet as a topic appears just after GoodHouse keeping.....which brings us nicely back to housework...

Pan · 07/02/2013 20:33

Really?Grin

BIWI · 07/02/2013 20:34

There is a separate board called Gransnet, which (along with Dadsnet) is in 'In The Club' - if you look at All Topics.

Then there's Gransnet which is a separate site, also run by Mumsnet.

'Shorely' Pan?

You're losing it.

OP posts:
Pan · 07/02/2013 20:36

oh I was unaware of Gransnet, as opposed to Gransnet. Chrystal clear.

amillionyears · 07/02/2013 20:36

I think that is clearer BIWI. Thanks.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 07/02/2013 20:37

Hahaha

A daily fail link. (which I just can't bring myself to click on)

Coulda predicted that coz they love women .

Must be true

BeCool · 07/02/2013 20:38

I always thought (ex)P did about 45% of the housework. And then he moved out and I realised the figure was more like 15% and involved mainly OCD clothes folding and stuffing boxes full of stuff (instead of dealing with it properly).
