Who are the newbies?

fartmeistergeneral · 08/12/2006 09:36

I've only been on mn for a few months - August I think it was. Who else is a newbie? It's hard to tell from posts who is new and who is 'old'! Also, do any other newbies find

1 you can kill a thread stone dead with one flash of your nickname?

2 your threads fall off the active convos at an alarming rate

3 you spend ages thinking of something incredibly witty to say and no-one notices?

only joking really, love mn, am an addict!

the real lemon drizzle is all gone now, only fake muffins on offer now! I think we're on the third batch! The jerk chicken is all gone now too - mars, I need you to come and restock for me!!

I am really surprised to see lulumama and fattymumma on here. I though lulumamma was old because of the bar, and is that the same fattymumma who posted on my threads a lot? I didn't always agree with her, but I really appreciated her straightalking - made me think.

Is it too late to join?

I'm normally Monkeymonkeymoomoo, chose a Xmas name as a poor attempt to try and fit in

Beabea · 12/12/2006 19:22

Hey what happened with this thread to get so long I havent got time to read it all?

Original poster
fartmeistergeneral · 12/12/2006 19:45

monkey, I couldn't even think of a Christmas name! Tried hard, as it's obviously 'what you do' here on mn!

what about 'Christmasplumtartmeistergeneral'???

might go with that, and count my unanswered threads over next fortnight, see if it helps!!!

OP posts:
xmasstocking · 12/12/2006 20:00

Can I join please?

Have managed to kill 2 threads this afternoon and that is not unusual

Have been on Mumsnet since August and my answer to the OP's questions is yes to all 3.

Thanks Lulu. Feel better now.

I'm a newbie too.

DeckthehallsLaDiDaDi · 14/12/2006 12:18

I've started lurking a year ago now and I've been posting since Feb but I definitely still feel like a newbie.

2snowshoes · 14/12/2006 16:51

do I have to add my name?

lulumama · 14/12/2006 18:01

can do 2snowshoes! not compulsory !

chocolaterobin · 14/12/2006 18:01

bumping for person who was looking for this!

twoisenoughmum · 14/12/2006 18:09

Thank you chocolaterobin and Lulumama for bumping this for me.

A reminder to all newbies: please remember your proper place. Here is a quote from an edifying and enlightening thread I scanned through this afternoon (a very quiet afternoon in our household):

"MN is pretty bollocks atm - too many newbies, not enough brains".

What charming company we appear to want to join ...

MerryMellowmas · 14/12/2006 18:24

That is a quote from one person only though.

As a very well repected oldie said to me once:

Mumsnet is more than one person
