In case you're following the hacker story over on Mumsnet, we wanted to let you know that there is nothing to show that Gransnet is under a similar attack. However, as a precaution it might be a good idea to update your passwords (good practice to do this regularly anyway). You can reset your password here. And as usual, if you spot anything odd, please report it to us or email us at [email protected]

Leave the bastard.

I can't for the life of me, think what LTB means.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 22-Aug-15 13:20:05

I can't be bothered with MN anymore. It's got so big. Don't 'know' anybody on there anymore. (And it's very boring)

petra Sat 22-Aug-15 13:15:36

I don't 'lurk' on MN, I'm an active participant on a lot of threads.
I prefer it because you can be more honest in your response. Younger people are much less likely to take offence when you call a spade a spade.

No sign of angry man yet.

We run a business, so there is no way I am going to compromise that at all if I can help it.
I shall be off again, if he appears!

It is easy to say LTB on a computer screen. I think if a person is often abusive[and this can be as much a woman as a man[, then yes, the other person should consider leaving.
But it is easy to write LTB when there are other choices too.

I lurk on Mumsnet mainly to find out what I'm doing wrong as a mother and MILgrin I think on the whole there are some silly girls - the Bridezillas and young women who have to have a bloke in their life and seem to drag their children after them. And then there are lots of cheery normal women who are doing their best. There are even posters who are grans and I wonder why they are not here.

Poor au pair, having to deal with having armed police at the door in the night.

I see Fathers4justice has come out against the attack, even though they are no great lovers of the site.

Hello, Justine will be very grateful for your thoughts, thanks.
And nothing new to report as far as Gransnet is concerned smile. #mayhiscakesalwaysflop

A word in support of the mumsnet advice to LTB - I may have missed a lot over there, but my reading of the posts that give that advice has always involved abusive partners. If one of my daughter's was in an abusive relationship I fear my advice may well be LTB. I enjoy the feisty young women on mumsnet and don't feel it's "their fault" that some even more abusive men have targeted Justine. It's shocking. Men aren't unable to control themselves so it isn't up to women to ensure they don't get upset

I have re-done it and it seems to be sorted now blush again

rosequartz Wed 19-Aug-15 23:17:07

Lara I changed my password for Gransnet earlier - so how come I just managed to log in when I absentmindedly used my old one?

I'm not surprised this has happened to Mumsnet. For years Mumsnetters have been very ready to urge each other to leave rocky marriages, rather than work at it. Only a matter of time before cast-off dads started hating the site.

That's not to say I agree with what they are doing. Just not that surprised.

Ana Wed 19-Aug-15 22:08:45

I think soon is worried about infestation! By viruses or Angry Dads...grin

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 19-Aug-15 22:03:03

You would never desert them in their hour of need, would you? smile

Don't go to bed. You are needed.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 19-Aug-15 22:01:37

No, soontobe! You must stay over there and help them to sort it out.

Ana Wed 19-Aug-15 21:44:21

You should be in bed anyway, soontobe! shock

soontobe Wed 19-Aug-15 21:41:52

It is such an utter mess over on the mumsnet site, that I am going to log out until it is sorted.

soontobe Wed 19-Aug-15 19:00:07

They have been under attack on mumsnet again this afternoon.
I dont know if that made any difference to getting onto this site or not.

soontobe Wed 19-Aug-15 18:33:33

For me too.

They are coming I tell you...!

Ana Wed 19-Aug-15 18:25:13

Don't know what's the matter with GN this evening, it keeps becoming 'unavailable'...hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 19-Aug-15 17:54:44

We are not likely to be targeted by a hard done by (in their opinion) Dads' group.

Stansgran Wed 19-Aug-15 16:47:25

DH's gran had two useful sayings, one of which was They're not all locked up.

POGS Wed 19-Aug-15 16:18:09

Lara

Just reset my password, no problems at all.

I too was sorry to read in today's Daily Mail Justines story.

I hope both she and her family are OK. Horrible experience.

snowberryZ Wed 19-Aug-15 14:37:42

I'm revisiting Gransnet after a long time away, so have just created a brand new password.
