Gransnet is live! Please tell any differently aged persons you know about it!

[JustineMumsnet]

Hi all,
We've launched Gransnet today. It mimics the Mumsnet format but is for Grandparents, so they can chat about and pool ideas on their grandchildren, hobbies, relationships and anything else they fancy. If you know any Grans please do point them to Gransnet.com. NB any Grans on MN who'd rather hang out here are most welcome to do so and under no obligation to go to Gransnet but if you fancy taking a look, please feel free. (You could always do both )
Any feedback is very welcome here. Txs

Nah - have only had 2 cups of cocoa - can cause trouble in an empty house, on my own!!!

And I can start trouble in an empty house when I'm not even there!

Crazynana - 'they' have only let me on to Gransnet!! LOL - It seems very well behaved.....full of grown ups and everything.

Shabba how come they let you in...and not me? I have not even been banned from here yet! Well,if it's full of grown ups,I'm out anyway {pulls grandson's finger out of plug socket}

It's interesting watching it develop - first thing that signalled it could be different from MN was the request for no swearing (or at least not using the 'f' word), and the number of names with granny/gran/nan in them!

Shabba I got in! It let me finally log on...seems I cannot even spell my own username.

Yes it's very nice....wondering why the text is so big, I am only 47!

My Mum is a yoofful Nanna. I nerrvously e-mailed her Gransnet and she said as a result she got nothing done all morning - she thinks it is FAB!!!!!

I think Im 54

Just showed GS Gransnet - his words (he is almost 3) 'Oh Andma, not go on that please, play lego and wrestling with me please!!'

Try a Full Body Slam...the lego windowframe should catapult quite nicely

shabba - I think you can wear a yoofful Nanna t-shirt too (over-sized of course tight ones are sooo over)!!! My Mum is cooool like you look out for her over there... I think she is hanging out in the photo section...

And - am I the only one who is a bit scared of crazynanna???

I registered but don't think I'll be posting much.

You can't change your username!!! - Justine, why?

And swearing is frowned upon.

teafortwo Scary? Moi?....I am honoured you even think so

hormones definitely down on the swearing over there.

As one poster said with determination over there..it's not big and it's not clever!

I'm definitely not posting over there

Because it is big and clever

no, you have that wrong about the swearing........we are working on encouraging it!!

Just registered but couldn't bring myself to fill in the age bit. Why did I do it!!!!!!!!!!!

Lie.

I didn't fill in the age bit

I swore over there

It's difficult isn't it, the whole swearing thing. On the one hand, it seems silly/outdated/old fashioned, etc - on the other hand, I'm aware that I'm not a grandparent yet and I'm only over on gransnet trying to bump threads, help get it going, etc.

So my views are not really what matters.

I am a grandparent though

I won't ever post on there again ..because its not me

There are now several posters there commenting about Gransnet being 'more civilised' and glad that there isn't any swearing!

In a way, I think that's a good thing - Gransnet has to establish its own identity and to be there for its own users. If they don't want swearing, then that's how they will steer the site.

Fair enough

How can I make the font bigger? The content looks interesting but my mum would not be happy reading the text at the current size.
