Minimins closing down!!

[Fanfeckintastic]

I'm so sad to hear this news this morning!! I have loved that site for so many years and dipped in and out on my many weight loss/struggles/ventures!

[Jenasaurus]

Minimins is back up and running and still free to use

[CSilver]

I know this is an old thread, but I use the slimming world thread on a crossword help site I use called Onwards & Downwards: www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Weight-Loss-and-Dieting/

[KittensOnAPlane]

is the thread with ketosis still there? having a complete brain fart, could someone pm me if they have the time with a link pls

[DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel]

I used Minimins years ago when I was following SW. I liked it. Have not used it recently though. I will be looking at the new site though as I need to do something about my weight.

Thanks for the links.

Since Minis closed I have found the Social Slimmers forum. Got Pete's recipes over there. I'm so glad he posts them there as I would be lost without Pete's creations. :-)

I've been a member since June 2007, such a shame it's closed as it helped and supported so many. Mini was a lovely person (I met her at one of the meets some years ago) and totally dedicated to Minimins. She couldn't have taken this decision lightly but I too am baffled as to why it had to close straight away.

Did you find us Curviest? It's foodfighters.boards.net

[Curviest]

I googled food fighters... I need to join I still have 200lb to lose CazzieC

[Curviest]

I only just found out. Tried to log in and saw that message. It's the most selfish act I have ever witnessed. What an absolute cow. I would have taken it over at my own expense, but we were not given the chance. What if I started a web forum called minimins2?

[CazzieC]

I'm the one who set up Food Fighters and I'm amazed that we've got just over 400 members already. I am looking into how we can get us featuring more highly on Google and trying to find ways to find old members. It's very frustrating that so many people have just lost that lifeline. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

I've only just discovered minimins has closed! Just wondered why no one had replied to any of the threads I follow for a while. Very sad and sudden.

[Dognado]

New forum is great.

[Alicebannedit]

Latest speculation is whether minimins plan to open as a paying site. I agree with all your comments made after my posting - I just mentioned it as it was something I read the day before regarding the site, and no, I doubt that would happen in a million years, and neither would I have any part in it.

I do wonder though whether it would be possible (or desirable, even!) to somehow get something onto e.g. Google, to guide people towards the foodfighters' board? I'm not very techy minded, but I think that was how I found the Ketosis thread, by doing a search on there for "minimins close down".

[FelixFelix]

Just signed up to the new forum. All good so far!

[SerenadeOfTheSchoolRun]

Oh no! I have just seen the goodbye message, can't believe it - that site helps me sooooo much. Thanks to good old mumsnet though for finding an alternative - off to check it out :-)

[Redglitter]

If it was going to be a pay site they wouldn't have shut down. They'd have changed it

The more I think about it the more pissed off I am at how they did things. They've treated us all absolutely appallingly

[FannyFernackapan]

I can't see it re opening as a paying site. What would members be paying for? I wouldn't pay .

The new site is looking good though so far! I'm sure given time it'll be very similar to Minimins - people are joining all the time

[Gemkay]

• treated their members. Pissing auto correct.

[Gemkay]

Even if it was to reopen as a paying site now, they can stick it. The way they rated their members was terrible.

[Redglitter]

they don't Alice. That's just speculation. The archives are still there - for now.

it's permanently closed

[Alicebannedit]

Yes foodfighters.boards is a brand new reboot! Absolutely gutted to find MM closed down, but some digging around led me to find the ketosis thread and from there to foodfighters. Feel sad and angry that so many who need the support will not find it. Missing the threads from Angel72 and LouLou and Clin and Beelishy and hope they all find their way there.
Latest speculation is whether minimins plan to open as a paying site. The archive still seems available, at least for the moment! [woodmouse]

[Gemkay]

You mini refugees, head over here foodfighters.boards.net/

[FannyFernackapan]

Yes I think the new site is off to a great start

[OatcakeCravings]

I've found the post, I guess it all just got too much. I've deleted the app from my phone and I'll away and find the new site!

[Fanfeckintastic]

I'm really loving the new site actually!
