I've never been involved in rl mn activities so apologies if I'm talking about something already in place.

Have you ever considered a Mumsnet mela?

It's a type of fair, not just a meet up. So if one can imagine, there's a big hall or marquee, and, say, your regular advertisers set out stands. Plus any new ones that fancy getting involved. PLUS all of us who have an axe to grind, or a product to sell, or a charity to promote, or a public campaign etc etc etc could take a stall too. Don't you think it would be great? Tech could have a help desk , Tsarinas could have a corner and so on. There could be a small business corner -- I mean, just like mn but in 3D. And open to the public.

Is there any point to this? I think it would be great. I'd go.

the upper classes will be drinking Moette

the lower classes will be drinking Bollinger

when pissed enough they will be allowed to join the class bunfight debate in a cage in the middle of the marquee

Selfish gits.

Shitemum · 18/04/2010 17:52

This sounds like how I imagine MN already, I mean I have a sort of virtual reality 'scene' in my head of the website with everyone on it all doing their thing...

JackBauer · 18/04/2010 18:04

Just tie them back properly, I don't want to be brushing against your flaps.

cyb · 18/04/2010 18:17

perhaps I'll concertina them then, in the interests of health and safety

easy access and all that
