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?

Most entertaining thread thigh ! Pre, and post-coffee. Commendable BTW, your persistence in posting without fingers!

WildIrishRose1 · 25/11/2018 23:15

No, I post occasionally, but not consistently. I WAS going to post on a thread earlier (DIL initially staying upstairs during FIL visit), but one poster in particular derailed it and made it all about herself, so I refrained. I hate when that happens. Some posters are so insecure.

I'm now waiting for a torrent of abuse...

Gildashairflick · 25/11/2018 23:22

@Awwlookatmybabyspider you have a user name I notice :-)

TeachesOfPeaches · 25/11/2018 23:23

When I joined about 3 years ago there was lots of chat about 'MN Royalty' but I never see that anymore.

ChristmasSprite 😅

Demelzasdilemma · 25/11/2018 23:26

@Graphista is a name I always notice

Sallystyle · 25/11/2018 23:33

No one would notice and I am not a name changer.

timeisnotaline · 25/11/2018 23:34

No, nobody! ‘Tis the life, guilt free drop ins.

darkriver198868 · 25/11/2018 23:36

Possibly on the adoption section. But, I am one of the few birth parents who post there that isn't negative.

LizzieSiddal · 25/11/2018 23:41

Not at all and I actually like that.

I do miss a lot of posters though. Maryz, Pagwatch, Hullygully, MrsD and lots of others.

Beingginger · 25/11/2018 23:41

I’ve been here since 2006 in various names but I won’t be missed. I have made a group of friends on here though and we keep in touch via Facebook.

Opheliasgoldenwine · 25/11/2018 23:49

No-one would notice if I left Grin and highly doubt they'd remember my name.

I didn't know Hullygully left?

Opheliasgoldenwine · 25/11/2018 23:50

Quick search shows Hully posting on Friday?

ErrolTheDragon · 25/11/2018 23:54

I think some posters just stopped posting very much rather than 'left' as such - move on to other things IRL or other types of social media.

llangennith · 26/11/2018 00:03

I've never name changed as I'm a creature of habit but I'm sure I wouldn't be missed if I left.

doublethink · 26/11/2018 00:05

Nope Grin

thighofrelief · 26/11/2018 01:27

Christmas thanks, it's "art" therapy Grin

ChristmasSprite · 26/11/2018 01:34

It's certainly been art therapy for us! Side-splitting in our lounge the other day!

Bloody hilarious, more of that!

thighofrelief · 26/11/2018 01:46

Christmas you can't show it to men! Us women will lose our mystique Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 26/11/2018 01:54

I love threads like this, it’s so nice to see some familiar names.

I post an awful lot less than I used to but hardly ever NC.

Probably no one would miss me apart from some MN friends on a couple of specific threads.

I had no idea Maryz was banned. What a shame.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 26/11/2018 01:55

I miss MrsDV too.

ChristmasSprite · 26/11/2018 01:59

Omgosh no! That was a very intimate self portrait, i would never show it to a man; I mean what if they recognised you in the street Blush. Be very embarrassing for you! Your feminine mystic is safe with me.

*mystique. My android is playing super funny games tonight makes me laugh so much
