Old posters you sometimes think of

[selfishteenagers]

I was wondering today about a few old posters that either left or I haven’t seen in ages
Riven , eatshitderek (i think that’s what the username was) and another one I can’t remember the full name ghost something who was in temp accommodation I think ?
Does anyone else ever wonder about posters they dont see anymore

Yeah LL was around for years and v prolific but had already started posting less before the moldies thing. She pops back up very occasionally.

LeQueen never listened to anyone. She would always come late to a thread and show off. She used the PND thing to her own advantage. If you disagreed with her point of view she reported you to MNHQ.

Scottishmummy's best piece of advice was:

"Trust nae fucker".

I miss her but did not always agree with her.

Loving all the nostalgia....

I have a little "claim to fame", I actually met FellatioNelson IRL

Could someone PM me Cod’s Twitter handle please?

Hah yes, along with "bumping gums" and "precious moments mamas".

There was a poster called Little Blue Boat, I remember having such a lovely conversation a few years ago, she was/is name changing a lot but I just want to tell her I haven't forgotten the warm fuzzy feeling

This thread will be gone in the morning.

Why?

I wonder about TrinityRhino and DevilWearsPrimark

I think Greensleeves came back for a bit.

Hecate, LittleLappin, Cod, Riven, BonsoirAnna, Expat, Custardo, GibbonInARibbon and Someone I know an awful lot of details about, but can't remember her posing name were always here.

Who was it who lived on a house boat?

Did I show up for the first time in a few years JUST to see if I've been mentioned? absolutely I did.

Thank to those who did, it's given me such a warm lovely feeling. Tante I thought about you on our birthday too! Hope you're well.

Plop thank you so much. I'm so glad to hear I'd helped in the past. And the little girl in my town is not so little anymore, of course, and she is okay. Has her issues, but the family got some help along the way and she's doing okay...far better than I worried about so long ago!

This thread is so bittersweet for me...I know all of these names and it's like hearing of old school friends you'd forgotten, isn't it? And there are so many of you I "know" so well through FB now that I'd forgotten who you were before...like you, Boffers, who are just as fun as ever you were. I love you. But you know that of course 😘

For anyone who cares or remembers me, I'm still well, still living in Minnesota, still cheerful 🤣 although I won't lie, it's been hard going with the Orange One in the White House these past years and more recently, George Floyd's murder happening here in my state.

I miss Mumsnet so much, but I never seem to stay even when I come back to poke around. It's not what it was, but that's probably only because I'm not what I was, and my friends have all gone.

But I'm so grateful for it. I don't know what my worldview would be without it, since I've STILL never been out of North America. It was lovely to get other perspectives for so long, and to make so many friends. I wouldn't be the same without all of you.

I will never forget so many of you, and so many things that happened along the way. I'm still laughing at "your minge! Your minge!" mentioned upthread. And Zombie gone...I loved her so. And Edgar's dear little boy. Riven in the press. The big cleanout at Trinity's.

So many things...I can't even believe it, looking back.

I don't know if scottishmummy was banned or just name-changed, but she's definitely posted over the last few months under another name. Haven't seen that new-name poster recently, though.

SGB, another poster mentioned on this thread, has also name-changed (I think she deleted her original account and then re-registered, but I could well be wrong).

magimedi
Have you always had Medi in your name?
Im wondering if I know you from years back on the XFactor threads?

CheerfulYank! How lovely to see your post. You probably won't remember me, but I'm glad to hear all is well with you.

@slipperywhensparticus

Why?

They always get deleted because it's not in the spirt to talk about posters who aren't here, or who have name changed, in the way that some are being talked about

I'm surprised that there's not more deletions tbh

@HuckfromScandal I remember lavendarrrrrrr or whatever she became. Could never make head nor tail of her, she was unique...

Just to clarify, for the aforementioned gullible, it is possible to exist as a real person and still troll a website with bollocks. I’m sure ESD is a real human and has an insta/facebook/a life etc. I remember the garlic bread photos of her sobbing child. I’m sure he exists too.

I’m also sure she was less than truthful about being hacked on here and having to involve the police, suddenly being booted from her house with no warning, etc etc etc. None of it ever made sense when you looked beyond the surface.

And I’m sure people did help her with things like her CV etc. She got a lot of money and gifts out of people too, didn’t she? Just a scammer with a character rather than the faceless begging threads we see nowadays.

Hello @cheerfulyank! I remember you! Lovely to 'see' you.

Wasn't Lavenderr the one who posted about her DP teaching their children how to shoot things in case they were ever stranded on an island or something? She was very odd.

Bonsoir couldn't post without mentioning that she lived in Paris. i remember being on MN late one night and she had a name-change fail. She started ranting about how she'd been trolling under another name to get back at people on MN. (WashWithCare I think). MNHQ deleted the thread and it was never mentioned again. It was very out of character for her, so I'm not sure quite what was going on there.

I remember so many names here including you @CheerfulYank.

I found Mumsnet when newly pregnant in early 2011 but soon found a home on the miscarriage boards as I lost that baby and went for a few more miscarriages. The names I remember were on a thread called Recurrent Buns as all of us were going through recurrent miscarriage. A few other miscarriage threads too. We had a laugh, too, amongst all the stress and sadness.

Princess I remember you! You were on IPOAT in days past, weren't you?

So funny, thinking of it all. Hello Sarah! Hello Free!

Bonsoir was WashWithCare???? Wtf? Really? Blimey.

SassySusan mentioned just above was always reputed to be WWC. The description of SS is spot on. Her child died from complications of measles iirc and the story was verifiable.

You actually popped in my head the other day CheerfulYank and I'm glad you're well.

So sorry you are having to deal with Trump. Roll on November, eh?

@Ylark79

Does anyone remember SadSusan? Think she changed to SassySusan? She posted on the bereavement thread so eloquently about the loss of her little girl and she had a blog also. She was then outed as a troll and I absolutely couldn’t believe it. Think I was on hols when it all came out and wasn’t online and I was so utterly shocked as I just didn’t think you could make up that level of hurt and loss. I still think she lost her child even if she trolled about other things.

I remember her well. A lot of people were shocked at the time. As I recall, the consensus among posters was that she had indeed lost her daughter, but that she had previously been banned for trolling about other things and so she was banned again.
