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 joined in 2007 during a boring night at work.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 06/01/2019 18:21

I joined 2008 (different username) posted once, lurked for a bit then didn’t log on again until 2015 - no idea why not. I remember Boxing Day when I’d not long joined, reading a thread about what dishes people had cooked and served for Christmas, and being completely in awe of the implausibly high and slightly unbelievable standard. Haven’t read anything like it on here in the years since, so we’re either a whole other bunch these days, or just getting slummier Smile

There are a few other pre 2005 posters around. Saw the fishy one the other day.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 06/01/2019 18:23

I've been here since 2008

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 06/01/2019 18:26

I've been here for ages, I'm not exactly sure how long, maybe since 2003/2004. I've been loads of names, but I was bran back then.

iklboo · 06/01/2019 18:29

2004-2005ish, always under this name.

DameFanny · 06/01/2019 18:30

Hey, I've been around a while with a few breaks. Used to be PerArduaAdNauseum and DreadPirate.

Waves at fellow gimmers

UrsulaPandress · 06/01/2019 18:31

I saw Pag on a thread the other day.

I've been around a longtime but had to reregister.

PaigetheRepahite · 06/01/2019 18:31

Been here since 2008, never left but just crap at posting and name change a fair bit.

Silvercatowner · 06/01/2019 18:33

I've been around for a while. No idea who you are or who any of the other posters are.

FaFoutis · 06/01/2019 18:35

I have been here since 2003 too. I don't really notice names unless the poster is an obvious wanker.

Tiredemma · 06/01/2019 18:38

I'm still here.....

HolyMountain · 06/01/2019 18:39

Tulips Strattors was banned after a run in with HQ about a dodgy poster.

I was on a Mumsnet subreddit with her , she also posted a very funny picture of a cockroach (called Milton ) , referring to HQ ( funny not nasty) and Justine was very very miffed, she hadn’t been back since afaik.

Hercules12 · 06/01/2019 18:40

Hi nutcracker. I've been here since 2003 and remember you well. I'm more of a lurker though then a poster.

2anddone · 06/01/2019 18:42

Hi nutcracker I remember your name. I have been here since 2005 though on my 3rd name change.

Tallulah · 06/01/2019 18:45

I joined in 2003 and remember some of these names.

These days I'm a serial name changer, which is sad but necessary.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 06/01/2019 18:47

Been here since 2005, various names including VacheFolle, mrsDanversAteMyIpod and many others.

Remember the fishy one and the school run dress debacle. Mouldie-gate and more recently legging it to Reddit-gate...

I remember you TiredEmma, also BIWI and ShowOfHands Smile.

SealSong · 06/01/2019 18:47

Since 2006 for me. Rarely post now, too many twats on here now just posting to be unpleasant.

FestiveGanesh · 06/01/2019 18:48

I have been here quite a few years (I think from around 2011), but under different usernames.

madmum5811 · 06/01/2019 18:52

2001 I think, when I was pregnant. Posted sporadically, busy days and nights then. Didnt post for years e-mail hacked so had to change it and could not recall my original name... Blush

The nastiness means it is not as much fun as it used to be, gawd I sound old now. Grin

singleascheeseslice · 06/01/2019 18:52

Since 2004 off and on but I've never stuck to a username. Do people still post that bloody link to the bat? I've not seen it in years. Can't help but feel that it was the original Rick Roll.

Hassled · 06/01/2019 18:52

I'm another of the 2006 influx - I still dip in and out, and still really value MN but it's a whole different world now. Only once in a blue moon do I recognise a user name these days.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 06/01/2019 18:54

I saw a pic of the bat recently ! Can't remember which thread now.

RedTartanLass · 06/01/2019 18:55

I've been here since 2004, left for a good few years but came back last year for good ol' MM Support when I set up my then bf with a catfish blind date.

I posted on on our Oct '04 antenatal thread in October coz our babies are now teenagers!! But just tumbleweed :(

I've been sucked back lurking since then!!

bibbitybobbityyhat · 06/01/2019 18:56

I joined in 2006. Have had loads of name changes in recent years, and a year or two off, but am back to an old name at the moment. I used to find Mumsnet endlessly interesting, not so much any more. But it's still the absolute best place to come for specific advice when Google fails you.
