and why does it say so at the top?

? Where? Links?

AngryFromManchester · 16/09/2009 15:17

Sorry I forgot I had changed my name. I am Fio. There may well have been a whole debate on this but I have not logged in for a while and was rather suprised

It only just appeared when I refreshed the page after posting!

I am very involved with NCT and had no idea!

FlamingoBingo · 16/09/2009 15:20

The corporate colours don't really match do they - make my teeth itch! Going to see if I can get a screen without the nct logo

FlamingoBingo · 16/09/2009 15:21

Nope, can't do it. Looks stupid. Why not ask this question to Belinda Phipps too on the live webchat?

Stayingsunnygirl · 16/09/2009 15:22

This seems really strange - I've seen nothing about this up 'til now.

EyeballsintheSky · 16/09/2009 15:22

Eek, what's happening? Where have the MN Angels gone?

FlamingoBingo · 16/09/2009 15:22

It's only the talk section, it seems.

But you know this really pisses me off. I like it that MN is separate from everything else I do, and now it's not

BruntOfTheCuts · 16/09/2009 15:28

is this an official partnership?

saintlydamemrsturnip · 16/09/2009 15:38

are we still allowed to slag off the NCT?

Tombliboobs · 16/09/2009 15:41

Seems a bit strange to send NCT members over here, especially given the NCT bashing that sometimes happens.

It would be a bit like being invited to a party and finding out no-one likes you

FlamingoBingo · 16/09/2009 15:43

There are a lot of NCT members on here already who seem to survive though. But does seem an odd partnership. Wonder if anyone's benefitting financially.......

Tombliboobs · 16/09/2009 15:46

There is a difference between finding MN though and being directed here as a NCT forum.

CrackWhoretoPaulDacre · 16/09/2009 15:47

Eeeewwwww....

AnnieLobeseder · 16/09/2009 15:48

Oooh, weird, if you come in via NCT the logo changes!

I guess the NCT just thinks that we're so amazing their own forum was redundant!

FlamingoBingo · 16/09/2009 15:50

They never had a forum AFAIK, just an egroup, which was a bit shit.

AnnieLobeseder · 16/09/2009 15:50

Oh dear, now the NCT logo won't go away even when I log in again. Gah!! What happened!? Make it go away!!

morningpaper · 16/09/2009 15:52

This happened aaages ago and was well publicised at the time

I think Mumsnet donate £1 to the NCT for every new member that joins, or something

JustineMumsnet · 16/09/2009 15:52

Hello,
We've let the NCT have access to Mumsnet Talk from their site. If you click from nct site then you get the joint logo.

Basically they thought it better to have our forums rather than to re-invent the wheel as it were. And we didn't mind.

JustineMumsnet · 16/09/2009 15:53

Oh yes and we donate £1 as MP said for everyone who joins MN from NCT.

DailyMailNameChanger · 16/09/2009 15:54

Well I don't get it, unless I follow your link and clickthrough to NCT&Mumsnet EGroup...

Looks awful, but then HQ are well aware I do not like anything new

AngryFromManchester · 16/09/2009 15:55

they are advertising you as their new forum though (not e group, that was my mistake )
