I am a 'lockdown-joiner' to this forum, welcoming the opportunity join in with others who are similarly 'shut inside'.

I have been wondering whether people have found that the site has changed in any way over the last year?

Themes/quantity of posts/membership/patience/tolerance?

Just curious!

Can I join you I ve got a drum

GagaJo

Not banned? I thought she was. I'm super confused now.

No, never before.
Who gave you that misinformation Gagajo

MissAdventure

I do hope it gets sorted out.
It's not nice for anyone.

I agree.
It makes us all nervous about transgressing rules.

(Is that the right word?)

Jane10 Tue 02-Feb-21 20:45:25

Are you with us Callistemon? Plenty of room for you

Callistemon Tue 02-Feb-21 20:49:45

I'm not burning my bra for anyone.

But am happy to have a sit-in
???

LauraNorder Tue 02-Feb-21 20:54:38

Bang that drum BlueBelle, I’ve got earplugs, I’ll get my guitar.

Lisagran Tue 02-Feb-21 20:56:58

Shall I get my jugs, Laura? grin

LauraNorder Tue 02-Feb-21 21:00:42

Oh yes Lisa, just be aware that there’ll be some bra burning and your jugs might get a bit hot

Bathsheba Tue 02-Feb-21 21:01:40

Ooh I’ll join in, I love a good sit-in. But I’m not sitting on the floor for anyone, cos I’ll never get up again.
I’ll bring some flasks (no not hip flasks - who said that?)

Lisagran Tue 02-Feb-21 21:04:37

Hot jugs, eh, Laura?! Sorry, lowering the tone here. I’ll pop over to the Argy and check how things are here later

Jane10 Tue 02-Feb-21 21:19:22

Meanwhile 'We shall not, we shall not be moved'!
I hope Maw is lurking and sending good vibes.

So, I think that the major problem here is with the encouraging of secret reporting. The Mods more than likely think they're supporting confidentiality - which is good, but what they are also encouraging is good old fashioned snitching - not so good

Spot on Nell.

Kalu Tue 02-Feb-21 21:27:52

Shove up. I enjoy a good sit in.
Germaine Gréer was the last one to suggest I burn my bra. Happy to do so xxyrs later. ?Keeping the bottom half on though.

LauraNorder Tue 02-Feb-21 21:30:36

Put your clothes back on Kalu and come and sit by the fire. Excuse the smell of burning rubber, some not so well endowed as others.

Is there any cake? I’m not burning my bra, who knows what Lefty and Righty might get up to unrestrained? ?

Floradora9 Tue 02-Feb-21 21:36:45

There are more and more utterly pointless games . I wish there was a thread just for them I know I can scroll past them but they are so annoying . I feel that , I guess , to go with our covid situation , there are fewer interesting topics everyone's world has shrunk . I am not as avid a member than I was .

Callistemon Tue 02-Feb-21 21:37:54

Is this a protest for a general amnesty for everyone from the year Dot?

I'm sure I remember Dot but can't remember why she was banned.

The Real Moderators used to bring cupcake
They used to drink ? too.
They were fun.

grandmajet Tue 02-Feb-21 21:42:07

As a newcomer, I’m finding this fascinating, what is it all about?
I’ve brought you all some hotdogs to be going on with. Ketchup, anyone?

Doodle Tue 02-Feb-21 21:42:33

I don’t think Dot Cotton was banned Calliestemon.
Yes I remember when the moderators used to talk to us and have a laugh, drink and eat cake.

Sleeping bag anyone? We could be here some time.

dragonfly46 Tue 02-Feb-21 21:43:15

I have got a bottle of Prosecco and crisps.

Doodle Tue 02-Feb-21 21:45:20

grandmajet who let you out of the Argy.
Yes I’ll have a hot dog please.
We are objecting to a long-standing poster who has been banned for life from posting on GN. We think the punishment is draconian and we want the ban banned.

We are having a sit down to object to being treated like this.

Doodle Tue 02-Feb-21 21:45:57

You can sit next to me dragonfly I love crisps. ?

dragonfly46 Tue 02-Feb-21 21:47:28

Thanks Doodle can I put my PJs on?

brook2704 Tue 02-Feb-21 21:48:43

Yep I’m joining in too - we will definitely not be moved ?
Could be a long night ...
