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

@Sparklingbrook you have to do internalized Yays, I'm not a fan of the love-ins that were once so prevalent here, but I'm partial to the odd inward Yay! every now and again.

Hula's dd is the same age as mine. We messaged a couple of times.

I have a feeling jimjams is still around. I came across her son in real life several years ago when he did something as a child and there are some details on other posters that seem similar..

Does anyone remember Gwen (circa 2002-2004) she was anorganist who went to school in Scotland and had lived in Zimbabwe.?

Tiktok helped me massively

Yes, that would work. But sadly the yays are very rare these days. Sad

Beetroot & Marina are two others I remember.

@Comefromaway, @ValiaH ❤️❤️

I was active on the infant feeding boards for YEARS. I dread to think how many but from very near the start of mn.

I enjoyed it, on the whole. I did put my foot in it a couple of times - once badly but innocently.

It’s impossible to post prolifically as I did and not offend/upset/anger someone in some way.

On the whole I helped people. It was a privelege 😀❤️

Remember when there were threads of who had the lowest user registration number and there were still posters around with 204 or 24 or something!!

selfishteenagers
Yes biscuitsandbandages ☹️ I often think of her too
I wonder how her DH and the crumbs are getting on now. It must have been about three years and her DD was only a baby.

I had missed the whole thing & looked her up today. The baby turned 6 this year.

Such a shocking & sad story Sad

Pintofbeer · 15/06/2020 16:13

I remember loads of these. Plus she who shall not be named who isn't actually named when people mentioned her on these threads.

I'm not sure what happened to her - she was a bit bonkers and then, one day, she was gone and only talked about in hushed tones with warnings her name couldn't be uttered...

And StrandedBear who claimed to have been quite young when she discovered she was pregnant only when she went into labour. But she was banned too so I guess she wasn't all that she seemed...

Manshape was Zombie Flowers

TeaChocKitKat · 15/06/2020 16:20

Who do you mean pint? :)

Rollergirl11 · 15/06/2020 16:21

@SupremeCommanderTrinityRhino whoop whoop! Lovely to see you back! Hats off to your sobriety, 8 years is a real accomplishment. 3 years for me.

@LadyEloise ahh yes I remember that post. Something like she kept hearing the sound of one of those pull-cord light switches going on every time she went in her bathroom at night?

Rollergirl11 · 15/06/2020 16:22

The only man I remember was UnquietDad and he was totally fawned over.

Comefromaway · 15/06/2020 16:23

@tiktok

i bottlefed dd mostly due to dreadful advice and fragmented midwife care (i never saw the same person twice) You, unlike many at the time was not judgmental. I had mental health issues around it.

when ds was born in 2004 he refused to latch on for 6 weeks! I was on those boards daily all that time

MuthaClucker · 15/06/2020 16:24

Manshape was Zombie

Nope it was deemented, although I did see it used on other websites around a similar time.

KaronAVyrus · 15/06/2020 16:24

The only thing I remember about UnQuietDad was he had the horn for someone out of Girls Aloud.

Rollergirl11 · 15/06/2020 16:26

Hah hah, now you come to mention it I remember that! Sarah Harding wasn’t it?

KaronAVyrus · 15/06/2020 16:30

It was unhealthy (but funny)

SunshineCake · 15/06/2020 16:32

@ThePawtriarchy

Manshape was Zombie Flowers
She wasn't.
7ofNine · 15/06/2020 16:33

Barcodezebra and daddaddad were men too from ancient days.
And Karl of course...

Redhair23 · 15/06/2020 16:43

Oh yes, Karl...

ItsInTheShed · 15/06/2020 16:46

Wonder what happened to Reality, ILovetiffany and gentleotter

Pintofbeer · 15/06/2020 16:50

@TeaChocKitKat

mitmoo 👀

SarahAndQuack · 15/06/2020 16:51

I have Reality on my facebook. She's lovely but I can't believe how big her kids are getting!
