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

OP posts:

And Andrewofgg who I suspect name changed.

Haven’t seen ShatnersWig for a while

@FatalSecrets

And Andrewofgg who I suspect name changed.

Andrewofgg did a terrible thing and got the correct amount of grief for it and flounced IIRC.

I've been here under various names since around 2003/4

I remember Aloha

Also

Cod
Riven (still have her as FB friend)
Peachy (FB friend)
Two shoes
Judge Flounce who pretended to be a barrister but was in fact a troll.

I also remember a big fall out over Moldies where loads of original posters went off and formed their own forum with certain selected other members.

Several others from the SEN boards who really understood and helped me when DS was diagnosed with autism.

I was hoping he had got banned along with the other trolls.

Redhair23 · 15/06/2020 17:02

Ah I miss Peachy, she was lovely to me and so kind.

Ernieshere · 15/06/2020 17:08

Yoni seems like yesterday Smile

Comefromaway · 15/06/2020 17:10

The JudgeFlounce saga was a classic wasn't it.

I've just been down a rabbot hole and searhed my first two usernames (which contained my real name you couldn't do that now).

We had a meet up in 2005.

Sparkling - you are one of my "yays" Smile

7ofNine · 15/06/2020 17:29

Ah peachy, I loved the camping threads! Remember when everyone got cadacs?
The recipe threads were awesome.
Sallystrawberry was a camper, oldraver too?

I think shatner changed names because there is another shatnerssomething

Rollergirl11 · 15/06/2020 17:36

Also remember Morloth, VicarInATutu and Lauriefairycake

SoupDragon · 15/06/2020 17:38

JudgeFlounce was the first "big" troll weren't they? It was a big shock at the time.

Comefromaway · 15/06/2020 17:41

And the awful think is that even though lots of people had their suspicions no-one really cared until she started to give out some really awful legal advice to vulnerable people.

The first troll I came across was someone on Babyworld called Keeralou who spun this whole thing about her baby dieing.

Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2020 17:45

Sparkling - you are one of my "yays" Smile

@MuthaClucker

Manshape was Zombie

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

Sorry, my memory has mixed the two. Unreliable Flowers

Ernie here
Stealth polar birth is still around

Dowser · 15/06/2020 18:12

Stealth polar bear obvs

BrainSurgeon · 15/06/2020 18:16

Is Rhubarb still around I wonder?

She once gave me the best advice ever, which I didn’t take at the time, and now re-reading what she said I can’t believe how wise and kind she was

Oblomov20 · 15/06/2020 18:19

I can't remember what year my first Christmas meet up was. But it definitely wasn't 2005 because I was too in awe of MN Royalty.

ArriettyJones · 15/06/2020 18:31

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

Six? I would never have thought it was so long. Biscuit’s DH seemed like a real goodun. I’m sure the DC are being well looked after and their mum’s memory is kept alive for them.

Kayaking on down
Agree with you about that poster, she seemed like a right piece of work
Had ago at me a few times
As usual, I didn’t give a flying fuck 😂

Dowser · 15/06/2020 18:43

Bitoffun
I’m so very sorry to hear that.

Erictheavocado · 15/06/2020 18:47

I have been here around 13 years - my dcs were teens back then and now they are both adults ,living with their partners in their own homes. I am even a grandparent! How time flies.
One of the names I miss is TrickyTreeLou I followed her threads from the start and was always in awe of her strength. I was on the 'birth' thread when we all dropped pins on a map to show her how much support she had all around the world. I hadn't posted on her threads for a while and last time I looked she seems to have nc'd but I haven't seen anything from her for a while. I really hope everything is going well for her and her dc. Maybe she's even met someone new who deserves her.

Otherwise, I remember a lot of the names mentioned on here. Some I miss, others, to be honest I don't. Zombie inspired me to learn to crochet so I could contribute to the Candy's hugs.
I don't think there's so much humour here now. If anyone started a 'cutter up pear' thread today, they'd probably be blasted for not taking life seriously enough.
To those 'names' who have updated us and who are in the throes of health difficulties, I wish you well. Flowers

LynetteScavo · 15/06/2020 19:09

Who was it who had two boys, I think she was a teacher (but not a class teacher) and one of her boys school refused? Not a lot of details, but we were always on the same threads (probably because we both had school refiners) I think I had this posting name at the time, so if it's you, please let me know how you and your DSs are. Smile

LynetteScavo · 15/06/2020 19:10

Oh, and I think she lived near Liverpool but I only know this because she pm'd me

Mysterian · 15/06/2020 19:15

I wonder what happened to user27735261303284378328765244252532247848484284242427878.5?
