i think I joined when Ds was around 9 months old, so 2003, and then stopped posting around 2013/14 ish maybe, not too sure.

Seems like a life time ago and was just sat here wondering if anyone from then was still around, or if we all buggered off.

I've been here since 2005 when I was angsty about DS starting secondary school, always as a variation of Mumblechum Smile. Pagwatch was indeed lovely, I always used to enjoy Cod too

Yes I remember DaftPunk. There were a lot of very aggressive posters for a while who seem to have either disappeared or mellowed.

I love these threads - I've only been here since 2008, but still remember so many of you "oldies"!

Tante - how are things? are you still in the same country?

Canshopwillshop · 07/01/2019 13:50

I’ve been here since about 2003 but under different names. I was mainly on the fertility forum and remember Anitaanon and anonymouse and also someone called Purplesam.

Iggi999 · 07/01/2019 13:52

I remember daftpunk too. I miss Scottishmummy’s posts.

BollocksIsNoACompleteSentence · 07/01/2019 13:52

Daftpunk was an utter utter knob. They were the only MNer who has ever made me cry - a post along the lines of "no one wants their DC to sit next to the DC with SN in the classroom, everyone thinks it but they won't say it". Cock.

BollocksIsNoACompleteSentence · 07/01/2019 13:52

Isn't scottishmummy still here? Wink

DubBeGoodToMe · 07/01/2019 13:53

I miss Scottishmummy's posts too!

Oh Bollocks that's horrid Flowers

TanteRose · 07/01/2019 13:53

Hi ThumbW Smile
Yep still in Japan...I'll have been here 28 years in July Shock
How's you?

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 07/01/2019 13:53

Lequeen started off as Lequeen, until someone pointed out to her that it should be Laqueen, when she changed it.

I think CheerfulYank is still here but doesn't post as much any more.

Pagwatch definitely is still here.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 07/01/2019 13:55

That's a long time, Tante! Shock
Doing ok - just survived a 40 degree day with no aircon (barely) but then there was a 20 degree drop in temp and it's been much nicer the last couple of days! Back up into the 30s again tomorrow though (booo!)

BollocksIsNoACompleteSentence · 07/01/2019 13:57

Shit, I hope I haven't upset anyone else posting that awful comment. I'll get it deleted if it does.

It really upset me at the time as my DC wasn't being invited to any of the numerous birthday parties (primary school) and I was sad. They are now in their late teens with about 8 million online friends and good RL friends, in fact they are in the pub with two of them right now Smile

TanteRose · 07/01/2019 13:58

Eek, no air con

Hope it cools down a bit soon

Sparkletastic · 07/01/2019 14:04

I think I joined 2003. Never namechanged and never deregistered. I’ve just embraced my MN addiction from day 1 Smile

Wickedwaterwitch · 07/01/2019 14:05

I’m not here much but I think I joined in 2001 🙂

Slightlyjaded · 07/01/2019 14:05

@notacooldad do you mean the poster who referred to her DH as ‘manshape’? As I recall it was because her first DH had died and she needed him to have a different nickname. Can’t recall the poster’s name though...

notacooldad · 07/01/2019 14:06

Don't worry, you are absolutely right.
She said some truly awful things.

Wickedwaterwitch · 07/01/2019 14:07

I read more than I post, love the feminist board. My ds is 21 now and dd is 15, for anyone who remembers me.

TanteRose · 07/01/2019 14:07

Jaded that was demented wasn't it?

TanteRose · 07/01/2019 14:08

WWW I remember you Smile

Slightlyjaded · 07/01/2019 14:09

@TanteRose I’m not sure. But I do remember Demented so it could have been.

notacooldad · 07/01/2019 14:09

Slightlyjaded
That's it... and her name has just come to me. Something like 'Deemented'

At first I thought Manshape was silly but she explained why she used that nickname and said her DP was cool with it , so fair enough!

notacooldad · 07/01/2019 14:10

A bit of a x post going on !!
