Old posters you sometimes think of

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

I didn’t realise we weren’t meant to post about old posters so if I’ve broken any rules I’m sorry I had no idea !

It def is like hearing names of old school friends isn’t it, it doesn’t seem that long ago but it was so different to now.

I recall a houseboat as well who was that ? There are so many personalities I remember but can’t remember all the names

CheerfulYank, yes I was on IPOAT!

CrocodileFrock · 14/06/2020 23:49

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

It was the strangest thing. It was in the days when Mn was much quieter and it was quite late. It was deleted and never mentioned again.

SarahAndQuack · 14/06/2020 23:51

@CheerfulYank, sorry, you won't know this name - or the last if your memory is like mine - I used to be LRDtheFeministDragon and we used to chat. Like Glenda I am thinking how much has changed - I can remember seeing conversations on this forum about whether there would ever be a black president (and I don't think we ever imagined what could go so badly wrong after that). And don't get me started on the idiot we have in the UK. It all felt so much more hopeful a decade ago.

Dominicgoings · 14/06/2020 23:51

Sassysusan had an incredibly authentic blog as well I think?

Was the poster on another forum who was a tube driver but also supposedly lost a baby also exposed as a troll on here? The original forum she was on folded-can’t remember the name of it but remember the layout!

FlibbertyGiblets · 14/06/2020 23:52

WWC and SS were the same person. I don't think Bonsoir Anna was them.

Sparklingbrook · 14/06/2020 23:52

@NoseHair

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.

You have quite the agenda going on there. One has to ask why?
PrincessFiorimonde · 14/06/2020 23:54

TheCanterburyWhales: yes, I too thought that Sad/SassySusan was supposed to be WashWithCare.

I'm not sure, but I think SS's daughter died of complications from chicken pox, rather than measles.

YearOfTheCrone · 14/06/2020 23:55

🤣😂

FlibbertyGiblets · 14/06/2020 23:57

Sparklers do I need to hold your coat?

CheerfulYank · 15/06/2020 00:00

Ohhh yes I remember you then Sarah! I remember so many of you.

Princess those threads were MAD, weren't they?! I mean, it was in the name, but still... 🤣 I remember reanimated zombie period drama men and not much else. Hully was there, and Pagwatch... I'm in touch with Pag on Facebook often. She's as lovely as ever, it's impossible to hate her for her gorgeous house and beauty because she's just. So. Lovely. And Edgar was there too, wasn't she? I will never, ever forget her post after Leo died, how it just started "Oh."

In more smiley recollections, the funniest thread I can remember was the poster who had run downstairs topless, shouting at her husband, for a joke...only to find him standing there with a plumber or electrician or something. I don't know if I've ever laughed so hard at anything online before or since. 🤣🤣🤣 I think it got removed, and maybe it was all made up anyway, but God did I laugh.

TheCanterburyWhales · 15/06/2020 00:00

OP- don't worry at all about a thread about old posters- they happen all the time, and as you can see, people from years ago chat about the past, trolls we have known and "loved" get discussed and some people get pissy.

FelicityHarlow · 15/06/2020 00:00

@TheSummerHolidaysMakeMeCrazy ha, thanks for remembering me! I don't post these days but I do read. You're going back a long way! Smile

occa · 15/06/2020 00:01

WashWithCare got banned, didn't she? She could be quite unpleasant iirc.

I remember a mad thread from Bonsoir talking about weighing her DSC when they came back from their Mum's and getting wound up if they'd put on weight Grin

I never realized LittleLapin was a mouldie

ssd · 15/06/2020 00:01

RTKM

TheCanterburyWhales · 15/06/2020 00:01

I remember Edgar's "oh" as well. Sad

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 15/06/2020 00:01

I would just ignore, Sparkling.

Cease thee (unintentional) encouragement. :o

FelicityHarlow · 15/06/2020 00:03

@oblio I used to get up extra early to practice being funny! Now? Not so much Wink

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 15/06/2020 00:06

Troll or not Beeeeeeeesimo always deserves a mention on these threads.

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2020 00:07

Yeah, actually thinking about it I don't give a shit why. Grin
Dominicgoings · 15/06/2020 00:10

The topless sprint downstairs was legendary 😂😂

CheerfulYank · 15/06/2020 00:11

Oh Beesimo! I was totally taken in by her 🤣

Occa I remember that Bonsoir thread too, and I remember the joking thread someone set up pretending to be her..."AIBU to force my stepsons to spend 18 hours a day on the treadmill" or similar.

LunaticFringe · 15/06/2020 00:11

Reverting to an old name.
I believe SS's dd did die - complications of Chicken Pox. I was FB friends with her. I don't know if she was WWC but I do know she trolled MN regularly after she was banned. She was banned for arguably suggesting another poster should know what it was like to lose a child. She was angry at being banned and trolling was revenge. I cut contact with her after she pretty much used the details of my dd's death in a troll thread.
I am very reluctant to support bereaved parents because of her and it took away my place to talk about dd.

PrincessFiorimonde · 15/06/2020 00:13

CheerfulYank, yes the IPOAT threads were mad, madly time-consuming and incredibly funny too. How nice to hear that you're still in touch with Pag. And I also remember Edgar and that 'Oh' Sad Sad

SarahAndQuack, I've chatted with 'LRD' (when I was using a different name) on a history thread, so I'm glad to find you're still around.

TheCanterburyWhales · 15/06/2020 00:14

I have a PM from Beesimo asking me to not destroy her family's livelihood. This was after she'd been caught out writing reviews for her family's restaurant or whatever business it was they were in. Not quite the traveller in the 'van with Lass 1 and grandma on the porch she claimed to be.
