Tickers et al

MNHQ - - could we have tickers and sparkles here...just like NM?

Now I KNOW MN is different, so the tickers and sparkles could have different options to the one over there. For example:

3 days 2 hours and 32 minutes since my last shag

Or 5 days and 6 hours until DP gives me cunnilingus (DP doesn't know it yet)

And counters like:
Maryz has said fuck 2,345,999 times since joining this site in 1997
or Honeydragon has painted 1 toddler blue.

So please, please could we have this option, at least for 1 day?
Maybe April the 1st?

Thank you

Nooooo! My head will explode if there's too much going on on the screen!

SoupDragon · 21/03/2012 07:41

If you want tickers like NM, go to NM.

Simples.

Christ - I thought by posting early my post might go under the radar and MNHQ might actually do this for one day. No chance!

Anyway MNHQ - can we have this?

You're being ridiculous now, Lesley.

Just too far...

lesley33 · 21/03/2012 09:31

Why Fenton?? Wouldn't it be fun for 1 day?

No.

BareBums · 21/03/2012 09:44

For ONE day it might be fun!

Specially given the examples Lesley gave, then yes Grin

1 day 14hours since I last snogged an MNer*

Sparkles and sprinkles

SoupDragon · 21/03/2012 09:49

"Wouldn't it be fun for 1 day?"

Um, no.

EverybodyKnows · 21/03/2012 09:50

I think it would be funny !

SoupDragon · 21/03/2012 09:53

Tell you what - why don't you create amusing tickers and go and use them at NetMums then?

WE've done the whole fake ticker thing and it was just as funny (perhaps funnier) when they are just typed in at the foot of a post with no sparkly shit.

lesley33 · 21/03/2012 09:59

Okay no sparkly shite then. But proper tickers and countdowns just for 1 day? Please MNHQ?

I think Soupdragon and some others have been deeply affected by these tickers...

No, Soupdragon and others simply have good sense and taste.

lesley33 · 21/03/2012 10:17

Oh soup - just for 1 day though? I'm not talking about permanently you know.

BareBums · 21/03/2012 10:18

CuttedUpPear · 21/03/2012 10:20
