I'm not sure exactly, as I quit for a while and had to come back with a new log in. As far as I can remember I've had 5 main ones, and I think a few throwaway ones to write sensitive posts or as seasonal name changes.

MirandaWest · 11/12/2021 22:44

Haven’t changed in a while but think I checked once and have had over 70.

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 11/12/2021 22:45

Probably about 20-30.

I've been on here about 20 years though Shock so I guess that's not too bad.

OnlyHereForTheClothes · 11/12/2021 22:46

I dip in and out and have just rejoined after a break, so this is my only username on this account so far!

However, over the 8 years I've been here, I must have had hundreds of usernames. I change names a couple of times a week normally!

CiaoForDiNiaoSaur · 11/12/2021 22:47

27, although 2 of those were misspelled versions. So I guess that makes 25.

MustDust · 11/12/2021 22:47

11 on this account and I think 1 on my old email address. I'd have more if I could a) could cope with coming up with names b) be arsed enough to change it

whitehorsesdonotlie · 11/12/2021 22:48

Dozens.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 11/12/2021 22:51

There are 6 others in my username history but I was only regularly active using one of them, the others were bake changes for specific topics.

I had another account with an old email address many many years ago to and would have had a few usernames under it but I can’t remember any of them now (hence having to open this account).

Peanut82 · 11/12/2021 23:04

How do you check?

CaroleFuckingBaskin · 11/12/2021 23:07

Probably around 50 plus

CaroleFuckingBaskin · 11/12/2021 23:11

Just double checked 165 😃😃

MrsPleasant · 11/12/2021 23:17

165?! Blimey Carole, no wonder I can never find a new one!! I've probably only changed about 30 something times over the last 16 years, but every so often i ban myself for a bit if I feel I'm doing too much MN and not enough books and life shit.

Bagadverts · 11/12/2021 23:23

About 12 I think. Probably should change more often. At least a couple I would definitely be recognisable so very careful with them.

Nasturs · 11/12/2021 23:25

10?

CeibaTree · 11/12/2021 23:29

I have about 7 or 8 that I alternate between depending on the topic and how much personal info I want to add to a thread.

OnlyHereForTheClothes · 11/12/2021 23:30

Tbf, I do revert to old usernames rather than a brand new one every time I change.

Chishnfips · 11/12/2021 23:31

15ish

Davros · 11/12/2021 23:33

I've had one username and I've. Even on MN over 18 years (proud)

ToooOldForThis · 11/12/2021 23:34

Many! But I have just worked out I've been here for 15 years!

Lorriestakingppe · 11/12/2021 23:39

100's over 18 years. Had the same one for the first 8 or so years when much smaller members. I had everything under that name deleted though as suddenly there were a lot more people in the room!

aurynne · 11/12/2021 23:48

Only this one :)

NandorTheRelentless · 11/12/2021 23:51

@Peanut82

How do you check?
You can see your username history in settings

ErrolTheDragon · 12/12/2021 00:01

Maybe a dozen or so - the crappy one I had when I signed up ~15 years ago, another I had for a few years, this one and then a few others just for occasional fun (e.g a Mortificado name)

JaffavsCookie · 12/12/2021 00:01

Been here basically since the start, about 10 usernames in that time.
