I want tickers and avatars .... I appreciate others may have an opinion on this, which is lovely, and good for you. I'm not going to be dissuaded though.

The site is a smorgasbord board of pointless lary coloured sales pitch and bumph.

It's bursting with venomous spite and bilious stupidness some days (amongst the stalwart niceness soldiering on regardless) , so on those days I'd like to see a spot of cheer.

A unicorn crapping a rainbow, or a humorous meerkat picture with a whimsical caption.

I want kittens and puppies and flowers.

I want tickers telling me how long it was since the poster last handed out grips.

We've been told Mumsnet is moving on.

If it is, I want the the future to be sparkly and twee to the fucking max.

Pretty Pleeeease MNHQ

Yes, me too.

There was a time when mumsnet was really different from other websites, and lack of tickers was part of that. Since penis-beaker, mumsnet is now just like the other parenting sites. Except it feels old-fashioned.

www.alterna-tickers.com will meet the needs of those who want mumsnetty tickers.

I like "quite a while" in regards to baby immacing and tickers, some time, not long and just then should all be viable time frames.

Eg

It is not that long since HD bleached her hair and ended up looking like Keith Lemon

do you think posting a video of Hullygully going down a slide might lure out MNHQ?

Tantrums Thought I'd missed a deeply disturbing thread there.

Yes to tickers and glitter and HD always being right

they're not going to give in to your crazy suggestion (I hope!)

It's not crazy.

It's the future.

The future I tell you.

I'd appreciate a boiling piss pot emoticon. And a grated carrot one.

In a bit.

Please

Will this do?

the future is flashing unicorn shit and eyeball burns?

I'd like a cock.

Oh this is just the best rainbow ever

Shall I actually post the picture this time

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

All new monies must be diverted to Local. We need it.

No you don't .... You need chutzpah, and jazz kittens.

Hm.

If you're serious about this then the site colour should be changed from blue to a pretty pastel pink.

And references to a poster's parent status in their name should be compulsory. You'd need to become Honeymummydragonxxx.

I've already got the Honey, so I am totes ok.

I don't think you're taking this idea seriously enough.

Time to inject a bit of gravitas into the discussion.
Look, Mumsnetters! or Ecce Matres * if you prefer.

*Just Latin for mothers- I am not going to even attempt working out what the Latin for Mumsnetter would be.

Mater Vipera

No. Thinking about it again, your Honey is spelled correctly. If you want to take MN down to the level of the great illiterates, you would need to be HUNmummydragonxxx.

Is it worth it???????

Was thinking more like this

Is MN v slow to everyone today or just me?

was earlier, HD BROKE IT WITH SPARKLY SHIT!

Ecce Matres Veneniferae!

Look, venomous mothers!

I didn't want to do anything that involved working out how to correctly decline two Latin nouns put together. I don't think I ever taught myself that.
