how can people discussing why they left another popular site was more so tbh and came here as it was batter not be in the spirit on mumsnet Hmm

I thought Gin was the spirit of Mumsnet?

OliviaLMumsnet · 21/05/2012 21:23

In short, the Bounty thread was reported to us as bringing personal, individual dirty linen over from another site -which is not really what we're about.

The Netmums one, while not particularly helpful is more general.

Please note that this is not a competitive forum thing.

Really this is a thread about a thread and on that grounds ought to be deleted too.But we will leave for now though it's not really AIBU so we'll move to site stuff.
Hope this clears this up.
Thanks again
MNHQ

FreudianSlipper · 21/05/2012 21:28

just popped over to bounty

i was surprised but not shocked, can not say more than that as it is not in the spirit of of mn Hmm

anniemcphee · 21/05/2012 21:30

Is opening "the bar" in the spirit of MN ?

gordyslovesheep · 21/05/2012 21:33

make mine a Brandy and Cock ... I mean COKE ... or do I?

RightBuggerforit · 21/05/2012 21:37

I think it's very much in the spirit of AIBU. Was it reasonable to delete one and not the other? Meh who gives. I'm pretty impressed admin have come on and explained why they deleted a thread, and then explained it some more though - you never got that on Bounty.

I also enjoyed it when MN kept going offline a week or so ago and there were suggestions that it was because admin were all in the pub, abd then admin changed the error message to say 'we're not in the pub'. But not as much as I would've enjoyed being able to access the site.

...In short, well done, and must try harder, and YA (probably) NBU!

anniemcphee · 21/05/2012 21:38

Bar is open!

anniemcphee · 21/05/2012 21:42

Can anyone else not see the link to this thread on the AIBU list?
Or AIB blind?

IneedAbetterNicknameIn2012 · 21/05/2012 21:44

anniemcphee · 21/05/2012 21:46

IneedAbetterNicknameIn2012 · 21/05/2012 21:50

And I managed to remember my bounty login!! Not that I was memorable!

anniemcphee · 21/05/2012 21:55

IneedAbetterNicknameIn2012 · 21/05/2012 21:57

Charli84 and I had a picture of pointe shoes. I was on there sporadically from 2004-2009 ish

anniemcphee · 21/05/2012 22:12

Ah I think I remember that user name, and picture :)
I was augustsmummy, and had various pics, best one being my baby ;)

IneedAbetterNicknameIn2012 · 21/05/2012 22:17

Also think I remember your name :)

anniemcphee · 21/05/2012 22:32
