What was the first ever thread topic & who was first to post?

[dropinthe]

Anyone know?

I'm intrigued!

First post:

Carrie or justine:
"there. is it working?"

Just kidding, no idea really.

'the Home Page looks bare, how about a Milupa ad Carrie?'

JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Check the bloody archives! Oh, hang on...."

Same thing round here, innit, dino?

No it had to be something controversial enough to kick up the site.... what's better breast or bottle?

Or... have you read that book of a Gina something?...

What about...

"Mumsnet never used to this bitchy...."

what about

'I am leaving mn because of xyz'

followed 2 days later by

'no one missed me, I am definitley going now'

MN Towers did once post a link to the First Thread. It was something really dull about potty training or weaning or something equally thrilling.

I dont think mumsnet was meant to be controversial when it first started. wasnt it something about travel? I sort of assumed that the first posters were justine and carrie under different nicknames, and their friends and rellies.

The first thread was, apparently this one.

lol people still don't know it's not netiquette even now to shout!

omg that was a llooonnnggggg time ago, even before i met my fiance and a month before i started my new job which i was in for 5 yrs

I didnt realise that was the first thread! I remember reading it, shortly after.

things clearly moved a lot slower in the olden days, can you imagine a thread on dummies that long to get 11 posts now!!!

there were only 7 active discussions one day...

Hmonty seems familiar. Was that Tech in disguise?

PMSL - 'my eighteen month year old twins...' - my friend does that - months and years together!!
