Mumsnet offline Thursday night

[YetMoreTech]

Mumsnet will be offline tonight, Thursday, from just before 11pm or so. We're doing a few small updates and a bit of housekeeping. It will be off for a while unfortunately, so maybe an early night and check in over your cereal in the morning?

I'm not going to offer MSN updates this time - you'd not believe the story from last time I did that, even if I did tell you, which I won't. The good news is that if it goes badly there will be at least a dozen people to blame. If it goes well I'll be around to take all the credit.

Let's just hope we don't hit the headlines this time.

cor, that vodoolulumama was a bit put out by it all, no? what a sad bint

oh lololololololololol!

Very well done indeed.

I don't care if you're right.
I don't care if it's your job.
Showing me up in front of my mates like that.
Bloody typical.

No marital jiggery for a fortnight.
So there.

Very good article you hunka burning love! Now what about my classified ads?

lol i wonder what people reading the things about mumsnet think, esp with the funny talk names such as

VoodooLULUmama, one unhappy user lol

DottydotsofBloodOnTheFloor

lol
not to mention the hlloween names on the other news article

whats this aabout though?

"In a fashion typical of Internet discussion forums, other members are lashing back against the backlash. One or two of the mums were even said to have commented that they liked all the new features, but they've since retracted their comments for fear of retribution. One of the supports of the changes told the BBC, on condition of anonymity, "I'm worried - last time I tried to fly in the face of the angry mums I had the tyres on my Bugaboo slashed. It just isn't worth the risk. Not these days"

Genius.

So...I can link to Mumsnet. I can link to Guns and Ammo. I can link to The Samaritans...Is this giving me some kind of message? Can't link to anything else!

solo....I think it is giving us all hints of how to deal with tech if he goes wrong and fucks this up

Brilliant link

those were our halloween names

am still laughing !

lulu one unhappy user make it sound like your on heroin!
lol

[gullible emoticon] - was that BBC article real? I thought it was until I realised who had posted it - TEch!!!

LMAO!

By the way, of course Tech isn't real......he is a brain in a tube that we can hear......like in.....in.....in.....that programme where they used to have a brain in a tube

this could be their lucky night!

In fact, I think it should be mandatory that MN goes offline one night a month so slack assess night owls like me can get an early night

I have to admit I have taken my jiggery pokery elsewhere of late. Sorry you have to find out this way. Foreward my legal department if you wish to take further action or go public on Watchdog for all I care.

Being on the job is very important to me, you knew that when you said "I do".

NNooooooooooooooooo, this is prime MN time for some of us state-side folk.

Are we talking being down for a couple of hours? Or many hours?

Great article, Tech! How's the beach today?

Love the stuff on the right-hand column, though I thought the 'man jailed for urinating on woman' story was a spoof until I read it.

Me too MrsMH

Hi Merry!

The urine story would have been a good spoof though, very topical, there have been a couple of urine-nuisance related threads of late.

Farewell then MrIP.
FYI, I'll be slagging you on the relationship boards here, not increasing auntie's ratings.

I'm off to check that Samaritans link and tend to the sodding sobbing children.

LOLLOLLOL!

Early night for me then! Though I won't be able to sleep with the thought of a new improved site to look forward to tomorrow!

Oi, Tech!

Will this revamp include giving us some new emoticons as compensation for the lack of bunnets last weekend? (We warned you we wouldn't forget!!)

"Will this revamp include giving us some new emoticons"

Who said anything about a revamp?

Ah sorry, got it into my head for some reason that it was tonight you were changing things to that 'new look' that was on that other thread...

Sooooo, what's the chances of those emoticons?
