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?

17 years and apparently 26 usernames, I’d forgotten most of them!

2013 I think. 1 username.

I don't post threads though a few people IRL know who I am on here.

@Clearthinking

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

It was Netmums, wasn't it? (Are they still going?) I nearly did the same but the tickers made me

Nearly 11 years for me.

2007 for me, I must have had a dozen or so name changes.

About 15-16 years, maybe a dozen or so NNs. Most of the time a non Discworld TP name and then this one, the others for a few special occasions.

Since 2012, early in that year, when I found out I was pg the last time. I joined for an anti-natal thread, stayed for the miscarriage board. Then moved out into the wider forums.

I think I've had about 10 different names in that time. Registered after Jeffrey, so no connection between this name and my earliest names. I don't NC very often, I quite like this name tbh, and I don't say anything on here that I wouldn't say in real life.

Since 2003

13 yrs, many name changes but I’ve been SecretWitch for at least 6 yrs.

Joined in 2004. A few usernames since then.

Sorry - that’s 2007!

Not long, about 7 years on and off. I was a secret squirrel in the first few years, looking for advice re: recurrent miscarriages and not engaging in chats. Since getting pregnant and having DD though I've pitched in a bit more - with varying degrees of success!

Since 2004.

Loads of usernames and an account name change because Jeffreygate (I thought it was called something else?) managed to get hold of some of my personal details.

There were only a few of us affected like that but the result is that I NC every month or so and I've taken all of my personal details off of the site and set up a new MN only email address.

About 7 years in all.

I was on here 5 years ago when I was pregnant with DS1, Then dropped off and came back about May this year

16 odd years. Keep the same name. At one point I was forced to change it? So just added the year.

Since 2011, 57 usernames

I name change regularly after a friend spotted me on here!

Since 2008. One username.
