Do you think anyone would notice if you left Mumsnet?

Back in the day, you’d see the same names over & over again & you would literally notice if someone hadnt posted for a just a few days.
Is Mumsnet just too big now to ‘miss’ anyone?

I popped up on one of those “whatever happened to” posts, but I name change all the time now since Jeffery and since someone spotted me in real life (and went through all my back posts to tell me what she had found about me ) I miss the olden days though!

No one would miss me. There are a couple of names I see quite a bit, although i don't tend to look at user names, so it would take me a while to notice someone had gone. However, i just assume people NC a lot!

My husband would notice because he’s hear fewer sentences starting “this woman on mumsnet...”

I do miss the old days where people kept the same name. I hardly know who anyone is now.

Not a chance. I tell myself it's because I name change fairly often but actually it's because most people don't even notice me even though I've been here for 12 years!

No pity party required!

Oh good question...I have no idea !

I've been here since 2007ish but noone would know. You wouldn't really be known now, its less of a clique.
In the olden days, you were known if you were regular, part of particular conversations, and in some cases if you were controversial.

Nope. I've had a few quite long breaks from MN and no sign anyone noticed I was gone.
I might have another break soon.

No - but that's the beauty of MN.

Nah, probably not. But then I'm not exactly a frequent poster.

Not at all... no one notices when I post so I doubt they'll notice if I stopped.

*slopes off to the well of self pity.

You're right Surfjet. Occasionally now Ok see a name Pi recognise from the "old days" but not often.

There used to be threads that would be in some sort of weird cliquey "codes" and I thought the other day that they have vanished - at least from active threads.

I don't understand how you'd notice anyone had gone though. I mean you might notice that you hadn't seen them post for a while, but I'd just think they'd either name changed or were just not on the same threads as me. Not every poster is on every thread, are they.

Sorry surferjet

Doubt anyone would notice (except DH who says he’d notice )

No. Thankfully.

Doubt it, I name change every couple of months.

Aw, I recognise you surferjet, but there are far too many posters on here now to notice people going MIA- I just assume I haven't been in the threads they've been on.

Definitely not. I either kill threads or no responds anyway!!

No. Although I did huff off a thread recently (which I was sad about as it was a good thread) and I wondered if anyone noticed lol. One of those where my argument with someone turned into a derail so I had no choice but to leave as not fair to ruin someone else’s thread.

But someone has to be pretty amazing to make an impact. I remember Buffy, she was wonderful and if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have done a lot of the self healing I have over my abusive past. But as I recall she was a feminist lecturer, very very intelligent.

I’m just a run of mill SAHM normie so I doubt anyone notices me.

I wouldn’t notice if anyone left now!

No. Which having posted on a claustrophobic private forum until I saw the light is just the way I like it.

I name change a lot, so for that reason if no other I would not be missed.

However, I reckon I would not be missed on here anyway.

I noticed a few missing, both those I really like and those who are no loss. But certainly not after just a few days.
