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 2006 when pg with dc1. Only name changed a couple of times over the years.
I often wonder what happened to ‘KerryMom’ as she had a very distinctive style!

BreevandercampLGJ · 06/01/2019 20:28

I remember you Davros.

I too have been posting since 2007 and hadn't got a clue what was happening with the site and extra secret groups - a RL friend told me about Mumsnet and an overview
I remember a few names on here and used to look out for jimjams as her ds was very similar to my own.
My youngest will be 18 next month Shock

That is one way of putting it. Grin

since 2005 but name change a lot. I miss Expatinscotland - she was around until a year or so ago a lot. I also miss the fishy one a lot. I like to imagine she's around but never spot her posts. Always made me laugh and had a wonderful take on things.

DiaryofWimpyMum · 06/01/2019 20:34

I left just before the nouldies happened and came back when it was all over. Still no idea what it was all about tbh 😂

user564534 · 06/01/2019 20:34

Yes, Jimjams was always a poster I followed too as she was so knowledgeable about SN. I'm guessing she's not still here?

showmeyourgroovymoves · 06/01/2019 20:35

I've been here since 2006 after finding BC a bit twee for me and newly pg needing advice . I have only recently returned now I have a tween with attitude 😫. Still keep in touch with some of my AN mates on FB though.

PuppyMonkey · 06/01/2019 20:35

Well I’m a 2007 joiner too, but I thought the Moldie thing was way after that as I was regularly on threads with them for years before it kicked off. Confused

WhiffOfBath · 06/01/2019 20:35

I've been here since about 2006, and have NCd about 2006 times... There was a poster some time ago called GetOrfMoiLand, which I thought was a brilliant name.

Cocolepew · 06/01/2019 20:36

I've been here a while too, can't remember how long.
Samcro I didn't realise you were 2shoes!

anniehm · 06/01/2019 20:36

I joined at the start but stopped when I went back to work circa 2009, only started posting again when I got my first iPhone. (Not exactly an early adopter!)

TheBreastmilksOnMe · 06/01/2019 20:36

I joined back in 2007/2008 then after having my first child life just got busy so took a break for a few years and just posted sporadically since then.

I feel like I’ve outgrown it a little. 🤨

SleightOfMind · 06/01/2019 20:37

Joined in 2001 when DS1 was a sod if a baby. Think I was called Wrangler, very much on the feeding/sleeping boards.
Popped back in periodically over the years.
Lovely to see you all again Wine

BreevandercampLGJ · 06/01/2019 20:38

We still say GerOfMoiLand in this house, as form of you have over stepped the mark ever so slightly.

DerRosenkavelier · 06/01/2019 20:38

I may be wrong about the time line for mouldie-gate.

I remember GetOrf and someone named something about a horse and Chris. Also also liked expatinScotland.

BreevandercampLGJ · 06/01/2019 20:40

Moldiegate was 2010 I think.

IceBearRocks · 06/01/2019 20:41

Been about since 2007.. Name changed lots because I have a big opinionated gob... apparently 😃

OhTheRoses · 06/01/2019 20:41

About 2010 under different names. I am thrilled that compos is still here. Recognise some of you. Often think of Getorf hers was the first post I read when I logged on for the first time. Also wonder about FabbyChic and LaQueen.

BreevandercampLGJ · 06/01/2019 20:42

I was here for UCM is that you. Grin

Janleverton · 06/01/2019 20:42

I’ve been around with various names since 2003 too.

UrsulaPandress · 06/01/2019 20:43

I actually shouted Get Orf My Land to a doorstep seller the other day. And then laughed at myself.

BreevandercampLGJ · 06/01/2019 20:45

I have just sprayed. Wine

DeadBod · 06/01/2019 20:51

bree I remember that thread Grin

Saisong · 06/01/2019 20:51

2007 seems to have been a vintage year! I've had lots of names since then, many in the PurveyorOfxxxxxxx style. Went to a London meet up once and met the lovely nicklebabe and brave Edgar and her husband (Leo always in my thoughts), plus got to share a train home with Pagwatch where I was entirely too much of a fangirl! Was also big into BLW back in the day and got sucked into Aitches spin off forum.
