How many MN 'personas' have you ever had?

229 replies

There's a another thread talking about how easily people can be deceptive on chat rooms, however most people seem to be saying "oh, but I think I'd spot someone fake", or "but I haven't the time/energy for multiple posts"

It got me wondering, "How many MN personas have people ever had".In other words, how many different MN nicknames have you EVER used?

My personal score is probably well towards 20 - over 5 years... some most regularly, some occasionally, and a few only once....

TheThread - Apologies!! It must have something else equally hilarious then eh?!

Mo2 · 04/05/2005 22:35

Ah Jan - those were the days before 'Chat' (urgh!) when every pst was a considered, crafted masterpiece...... and it was the quality not the quantity that counted

And yes - you are right, MalmoMum & I had 'Mumsnet twins' I seem to recall!

Janh · 04/05/2005 22:25

Only over 1000, Mo2? Very restrained!

Anyway I remember you - your DS2 was born in August 2002 IIRC (like Malmomum of blessed memory!)

Toothache

methinks you are somewhat mistook

Mo2 · 04/05/2005 22:20

No! I'm not Justine - just plain old me! ANd I used to be MotherofOne.....

quite simple really

And although FLUM (who?) may never have heard of me, I've actually been around for quite a long time (eeK! ARchive says over 1000 posts)- just don't post much these days....

LOL no,i've just done a search and it wasn't you,but i'm sure you called yoursef something alcoholic once when you first got internet at home

Toothache · 04/05/2005 21:22

Oh Whymummy - I don't remember that one! Distinct possibility though, as I have been on here so miraculous at times I could hardly type!

whymummy · 04/05/2005 21:20

i've always been whymummy and stuffedturkey one xmas.

Fio2 · 04/05/2005 21:18

Toothache · 04/05/2005 21:18

Well havnig just read this thread I'm bloody knackered!! i'd like to use that as my posting name!?

I really don't like the idea of limiting! I've had to change my name when I recommended the site to my Mum and I wouldn't have like it then if I'd used my quota!

Mum2Toby
M2T
Gladtidings (xmas 2002)
ShcockedMumsnetter (for a larf)

Fio2 · 04/05/2005 21:01

someone humour me

who the hell is who?

Janh · 04/05/2005 20:55

no, don't panic, zeb - soupie was some variant of "codswallop" once (codswallap?) just to be confusing. They are different people, honest!

zebraX · 04/05/2005 20:54

So are Soupie & Cod the same person?
Or am I the only one who is very very very confused...

WideWebWitch · 04/05/2005 20:36

Oh well I'm glad you owned up norty! Oh, I'm not sure what I think about multiple name changes. I don't like the idea of being limited but I think it's ok to out people if they only name change to post nasty stuff. Tinks, love the idea of a vote on it every time, car crash forum, yay!

Mo2 · 04/05/2005 16:51

FLUM who?

FLUM · 04/05/2005 16:42

you're all talking to yourselves.

< wanders off muttering, this place is nuts >

SooperDooperDragon · 04/05/2005 16:41

You probably were. I'm not very good at this.

SoopDragon · 04/05/2005 16:40

But I might be

Or not ...

SuperDragon · 04/05/2005 16:40

but I was Super first

SooperDooperDragon · 04/05/2005 16:38
