How many years have you been using Mumsnet?

[Chicchicchicchiclana]

And how many names do you have in your username history?

I joined in 2006 but I can't look up my first username history because I re-registered after Jeffreygate. Reckon I had perhaps 10-20 usernames before Jeffrey, most of them fairly recognisable ncs
for Christmas/Halloween etc.

Post-Jeffrey I change names a lot more often and don't join in with the seasonal nc thing. I've had 20 different names since I re-registered although weirdly I can't see the date of that from my account details. I think Jeffrey was in August 2015 or maybe 2016?

Anyway, how about you? Do you behave differently on MN pre and post Jeffrey?

Since 2014, which I only know because of the username I picked

Various names over the years

Alright Dranky!

Early 2000's or thereabouts defected from the Bad Mothers Club but lurked there mostly. I remember when I signed up to BMC it was very late in the evening as I was up with young children and someone with a user name Joey who was a chemist and well wasn't very welcoming who clearly thought anyone posting late at night was a troll.
I'll never forget how unpleasant she was.

I've changed names here a couple of times but only because I fancied a change.

can't even remember. My youngest is 20 though. I can remember 4 different username but that doesn't mean a thing.

My favourite MN quote is "I twatted a spider"

Don't know how to find out how many name changes I've had but I'm sure I've been here since DS1 was a toddler. He's about to learn to drive !!

I did have a biggish break, and have been hooked for the last few years

november 2006
almost 14 years

i dont remember Jeffrey

Since late 2011, Nickelbabe's live birth thread got me hooked. Think i changed my name mid-2012 to this, been Conyo ever since.

I read much more than I post, haven't started a thread for y-e-a-r-s!

2006 and probably about 10 usernames.

Between 15 - 20 years, I'm not entirely sure.
I've had the occasional name change but not many!

Oh just looked and looks like I De- registered at some point. Probably after leaving xh so 8 years ago. I’ve had 6 names since then so probably a lot more than I originally thought.

Joined end of 2005 when I was pg with first DC. Only really had two names since I joined (barring the odd seasonal name change). Much more of of lurker than a poster, especially these days...

Been here since 2004 and have had loads of names. I missed Jeffrey though and have never known what happened and never asked because I always find people who ask about Moldies, with which I was very much involved, never get a decent answer. But if anyone wants to tell me what Jeffrey was about, I would be interested to know.

2014 here, only about 5 usernames but I've had this one for a couple of years.

2006. Lifetime ago.

About 4 years, found by accident looking for something else. How did everyone else first hear about it? Was it just a overnight thing or was it publicised on tv or something? Don't know anyone else who knows of it

Since 2000 (do I qualify for a long service award ), this is only my second name. Must have wasted so much time on here .... it is very addictive.

Jan 2004 after my first miscarriage. Only used 2 names and this one since about 2006.

Been around for at least 10 years. Lots of usernames on my old account and then I got in a right old muddle trying to change my user name after having it for a very long time. I re-registered so although I look fairly new, I'm not.

Early 2011. I joined to ask for opinions on names I was considering for DD.

I was SantasLittleMonkeyButler for years but forgot the password & no longer had access to the linked email account.

Since you had to do reviews or something to post much. I think pretty much from the beginning. Then I lost my registration for a little bit when I lost my Internet- was on dial up then and came back a little after.
A very very long time in other words.

Well, I can remember being on here when mil was ill, and she died in 2007. My reg number is around 99,000, so anyone have any idea what that indicates? (as in, a year?)
That said, I remember when Justine was starting up (know the family) but wasn't very internet savvy at the time and wondered how on earth her idea was going to work. Lurked for a bit before actually signing up.

And I just counted up all my usernames and there are 20!!

I registered on maternity leave in July 2010 and I've had 65 names, though a good three quarters were either seasonal variations on a theme or one-thread throwaways. I always come back to this one though.
