Why doesn't Justine come on MN and discuss thongs

I love MN and have no intention of flouncing. I'm also not invested in The Thread That Must Not be Named, but ..

Lots of MNetters are upset/angry/confused about that and other matters. Long term posters are getting banned. Moderation policy is bewildering.

I remember when it were all fields round here Justine used to regularly engage with the membership. Can't she do it again, to resolve matters and show us we're still loved?

I reckon she's a sensible harvest knickers type of person.

Puggs I luvs you. I've just been to the doctor feeling utterly shit and been given anxiety meds but you've cheered me right up

Because this site is not a cosy little "sitting round the kitchen table in a cottage" thing - it is a big business with its main focus on its advertising revenue.

BrainSaysNo · 08/08/2017 12:05

Wasn't there 2 co-founders?
Are they both still involved?
Over the years I only see posts calling for Justine- what about the poor other co-founder Sad

Cheese wires are not conducive to comfort around the ring of confidence though

PeachPearPotato · 08/08/2017 12:06

I imagine she's already cr*pping herself - thongs are the last thing she needs!

ilovesooty · 08/08/2017 12:07

I think Bertrand has it in one. I doubt very much that she has the ability to drop everything in order to appear for a Web chat.

BeyondQueenOfLists · 08/08/2017 12:07

Even if they don't want to discuss the "thongs" that are upsetting people atm, it's weird that they (all of hq, not just Justine) don't post so much in the fluffier areas of the site any more. :(

Even if just to drop in and state what their favourite type of biscuit is, or whatever

"I think Bertrand has it in one. I doubt very much that she has the ability to drop everything in order to appear for a Web chat."

Or the inclination. What's in it for her?

Lynnm63 · 08/08/2017 12:09

You've made me laugh op. However, one thing this debacle has shown is that MN is no longer the cosy, kitchen sink, Boden wearing site Justine set up. It's now a multi million pound business and we are not customers or users we are the product and as such are as important to MNHQ as a cider apple is to a cider manufacturer. If you find a 'bad' One chuck it away there's plenty more. HQ only give a shit about the advertisers THEY are the customers.
HQ are hoping we STFU. Reddit is very nice though.

Lynnm63 · 08/08/2017 12:10

X post with Bertrand I need to type faster!

Solo · 08/08/2017 12:12

No, CarrieMumsnet hasn't been seen for a while...

And having met Justine I really doubt she's a thong gal, much too sensible/practical for that.

Goodasgoldilox · 08/08/2017 12:15

'Carrie' is the other founder.

(I seem to remember a thread on the matter of a suspicious patio at MN towers and rumours that founders can become foundations.)

HoneyDragon · 08/08/2017 12:15

Posters: we're very cross about MNHQ not addressing other posters being the victim of pervy going on.

Op: Justine come and show us your knickers!

Solo · 08/08/2017 12:16

I would think Justine will make some kind of comment on the events that have unfolded though but, I'm surprised she hasn't done so by now.

HoneyDragon · 08/08/2017 12:16

Goodas that was me. Justine let her out the cellar for 5 minutes the locked her back up as proof everything was ok.

HoneyDragon · 08/08/2017 12:17

It won't be pretty when she does Solo and certainly won't make posters any happier.

KurriKurri · 08/08/2017 12:18

Can we have a thong emoticon please.
