Careradvice2019 · 19/02/2020 23:27

I'm sure I was here though around 2002 .. I remember MN being very small and everyone knew eacother and asking advice around that time I was going through stuff and it being so sportive.m
I've just looked at threads from 2007 asking advice for my eldest who I was literally tearing my hair out a bit , he's now a great father and a grown adult .
Bloody hell I feel old
Btw I've name changed only 4 times since 2002 ?? ( although it says 2007)
I can honestly say though I've never been part of all the old drama

Ive been here since about 2006 but can't remember what name i used at the start to find my first thread!

Careradvice2019 · 19/02/2020 23:35

Same here Tistywoo, I can recall an early name but it only goes back to 2007. But I'm sure I remember sitting here with my 2 year old son who was born in 2000.. so I must have had something before that

I wish there was a bit of mn that stored all your old usernames, I have lost count over the years and can't remember them all but there are a few threads I would love to go back and re-read

Miljea · 19/02/2020 23:38

I've walked away, twice, and got a 'ban' once (which MN themselves rescinded, as I was deemed to be a good, helpful contributor...') since 2004.

bilboraggins · 19/02/2020 23:38

I do remember my user name for when I just found out I was of with my first dc. Now and again I fondly look back at that one but it does make me feel ancient!

bilboraggins · 19/02/2020 23:39

Pregnant not of!

Titsywoo · 19/02/2020 23:40

I have been Titsywoo for quite a long time but i definitely had one or two before that. Pre 2010 i think.

orangeicecream · 19/02/2020 23:41

Here since 2004 😳

Careradvice2019 · 19/02/2020 23:42

Miljea as you've said it I do recall either ' getting told off ' or a ban .. only one time tho .. can't be bad 😂

marashino · 19/02/2020 23:42

I've been here since MN started Hmm

beingchampion · 19/02/2020 23:45

How do you know? I've just looked all through my profile and can't find a date anywhere, what am i doing wrong?

Careradvice2019 · 19/02/2020 23:47

Orangeicream , have you swapped user name and how many times ... and Lastly does anyone ' feel ' a difference?
I've spent the best part of over an hour going through old posts and laughing and realising how much of my life had actually changed and I didn't need to sweat the ' small stuff z

www.mumsnet.com/member/nickname-history

Should give you a history of your nicknames if you are logged in

(I really really hope that doesn't bring up a history of my nicknames, can someone inform me quickly if it does!)

beingchampion · 19/02/2020 23:50

It doesn't, it shows my nicknames

Careradvice2019 · 19/02/2020 23:50

beingchampion
It's in advanced posts , but only if you know your username, I located mine by ' advanced, search, username ( ticking the boxes two and from date wise ) .. I'm sure that how I found it

It definitely used to be a lot more fun round here, so many joke threads and much more light hearted content. Much less deliberate nastiness, more honesty and generosity of spirit.

Spartonian · 19/02/2020 23:57

After Jeffery paid us a visit I de registered and can only remember the user name I had 2013-2015.

Spartonian · 20/02/2020 00:11

2010! It's my 10 year anniversary on MN Wine

shortytrekker · 20/02/2020 00:15

I was here in 2008 when I was going to become a mum and was looking for advice and support! It's changed a lot.

ErrolTheDragon · 20/02/2020 00:34

I think I joined in about 2006, the first post in my original name I can find is from 2007. My ID number (can't remember where I found that or if it's still a thing) was 3 digits so I suppose there were less than a thousand registered at that point.

EmmiJay · 20/02/2020 00:44

I've got two or three accounts on here😬 I think I first posted (after a year of lurking lol) in 2013/14 when I was pregnant with DD.

CrocodileFrock · 20/02/2020 00:55

I remember the days when the biggest thread was about grapes in the supermarket and whether it was considered stealing to eat any before you got to the till to get them weighed.

orangeicecream · 21/02/2020 17:23

7 changes of name in 16 years.

It's changed for me as I've been through the TTC, pregnancy, babies, toddlers, primary and now teen stages. But I still find the discussions/debates interesting.

Miljea · 22/02/2020 19:32

So who remembers the Moldies? 😂😂
