Anyone still around from the olden days ??

[TheOriginalNutty]

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 a long time, pretty sure it was about 2010 or 2011. My name originally was CaliforniaLeaving. I got lots of help about my move to UK, schools admissions etc.
I just looked at my username history, and was also SquinkiesRule.

I remember AtYourCervix, Oh the Huge Manatee - great names!

And Cointreauversial, another great name.

OtheHugeManatee was one of my favourite posters ever. I was always slightly in awe of her brilliance and good sense. I’ve no idea who she is now or whether she’s even here. But like many of us she probably prefers it that way now.

I still see cointreauversial occasionally. I also miss juggling

Been here since 2003. Four years before I actually became a mum!
Have mostly lurked in all this time, very rarely post.

was there a poster called tante rose or am I imagining it?

Yes TanteRose is still around. Lady who married a Japanese man and I think lives in Japan.

I can't remember what username I had :-(

But I do remember organising some very drunk late night mumsnet iSketch games!

@ssd @tanterose is on this thread - further up!

Is SGB still around?

I think I've seen an NN which looks like it might belong to SGB but I can't remember what it was so can't search. She was amazingly good at staying within talk guidelines on the philosophy and religion threads, while being, uh, forthright in her views.

I've been here since 2009 when there were a lot of Yoni names & the boards were full of shopping lists that people had discovered.

I nc regularly but am enjoying the mentions of folk from years back. Good to learn what BIWI stands for.

Good to know

I'm going to read the full thread later as I'm a bit busy today (shouldn't be on MN but I joined in 2002. I remember Nutcracker. Also I think there was Rhubarb and Gwen the organist (I'd met her on Babyworld)

Then Misdee of course (I often wonder how she is.)

The Yoni thread was started in 2013.

And, yes, SBG is still around - she has another word on the front of SGB, so I'm guessing she de-reg'd at some point and then re-reg'd? And, yes, she's still pretty, um, forthright!!

Lots of names I remember! ( been here under various names since 2008)
I will always remember Jamieandhismagictorch for some excellent parenting advice.
Also ShirleyKnot and SuePurblyBuilt who were very funny.

Ooh also CheerfulYank TSSDNCOP TiggyD (where he go?!) Pan, MrsDeVere ( where she go? !) and loads of posters who have already popped up.

Pan here.

I don't think Tiggy recovered from being banned. I suspect a bit he over invested I being criticised. Which you just have to get used to.

Oh hi Pan! Why was Tiggy banned? I missed that

Hi there! I really can't recall. I think it was an FWR issue from which he simply wouldn't back down and despite his 'friends' suggesting he shuts up, he didn't and talked his way to being sent off.

Aw, shame, he used to make me lol.

Joined in 04 or 05 (can't check as I had a different log in email and password, neither of which I can remember). A few name changes along the way.

Both dcs are now adults and have left home and I'm still here.

I remember the Manatee.

Was she a Leaver?

Yep still here

I've been here since 2002. Original name was eemie. Used to enjoy it, now mainly stick to one thread.

I was genuinely hurt by Moldiegate. I was in a long-running thread with some of them (including someone mentioned above) and they just stopped posting & vanished without a word of explanation.

I joined in 2005. Ages ago and have had a few names.

I was at the cheese tasting in Marylebone and steam ironing demo in The City. (Sighs happily). I met actual people I recognised from the site!
