Yesterday while the site was down I had a pop up (I have adblocker and never get pop ups) which was red writing in a box with my town and something about getting a free mobile phone. I closed it and shut down, cleared my history and re-opened. Do I need to do anything else? I'm on a chromebook and as far as I know don't need to run virus software as they don't get viruses. I was looking into getting a VPN too - anyone advise or explain?

I only checked twitter for the #distractinglysexy. Wouldn't give Jeff/Simon/Donald the satisfaction.

TiredButFineODFOJ · 25/08/2015 20:33

Simon is Jeffrey's mate- if indeed they have mates. The twit(tterer)s said on twitter that they had two dadsec twitter accounts as there is more than one of them.
Simon is considered the less angry and more eloquent one, interested in anime. Jeffrey is the nerdy computer hacker who uses text speak. Just two dudes tryin to make it in this crazy anti-men world where women oppress them by not doing what they want them to. Terrorising small children on behalf of men dads.

OhBigHairyBollocks · 25/08/2015 20:35

Thank God. I've missed you all so much. Who the hell is Simon?

Aramynta · 25/08/2015 20:36

LOL Dadsec. What do they think they are? Secret agents? Grin

OhBigHairyBollocks · 25/08/2015 20:38

I think I'm missing most of the tweets as I don't have twittEric.

OhBigHairyBollocks · 25/08/2015 20:39

Eric? TWITTER

fattymcfatfat · 25/08/2015 20:40

tempted to join twitter...

SouthWestmom · 25/08/2015 20:41

But why is he called Simon?

sliceofsoup · 25/08/2015 20:41

I have twitter and I can't find Simon...

LumelaMme · 25/08/2015 20:42

People, Envy is not a proper sick emoticon. I want one more like the old Happy Eater sign: a little head, with the fingers heading down the throat.

On an earlier thread someone linked the 8chan thread with the hackers discussing what they were doing- one of them linked to 'his' FB page which was someone called Simon. Very unlikely it's actually him.

noblegiraffe · 25/08/2015 20:45

Olivia, can this thread be made sticky please?

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 25/08/2015 20:45

It might have been like that all day because I was lurking on Netmums (I know, I know!) this morning and someone mentioned it then.

Think that was about 11.30am - ish if its any help.

MrsHathaway · 25/08/2015 20:47

I'm just going to leave this list of Sweary Accessories here. Because MNHQ probably needs a refurb.

Aramynta · 25/08/2015 20:47

Come at me, Secret Simon Hmm

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 25/08/2015 20:47

"But why is he called Simon?"

Because that's his name. I have no idea why, maybe his mum was a big fan of Duran Duran.

Youarentkiddingme · 25/08/2015 20:48

Hi everyone.
Can I just publically thank MNHQ. They have been amazing support to me over this whole debarcle. Don't want to say too much but will say had to de reg as discovered my details were published at a very difficult timing for me. MNHQ were quick and replied quickly.
Finally had a chance to set up a remote email etc and re register.
And I can get back in my Sn board haven - the place that saves my sanity!

I've missed everything that's happened since last Tuesday. But I'm pretty sure MNHQ need .

WorraLiberty · 25/08/2015 20:50

LimeJelly ohhh pretty now that is a "tea"cup I can be doing with.

Maybe we need a [hardliqour] emoticon to cover all our gin/vodka/rum/tequila etc needs.

My post way back on page one had a serious strike out failure! Sad
