Which poster would you be gutted to see disappear from Mumsnet?

You know the ones. You see their username and think, excellent, they’re here.

Who are your Mumsnet favourites? No smooching required, just appreciation. 😏

I meant to write, is it still a thing to know people. Definitely years ago - when MN was smaller - you'd know names more for just general posting and other posters mentioning them. Now I think this only occurs in specialist threads.

She shuffled off with tail between her legs I think after something to do with a second property if I vaguely recall?

Yes! Such good advice tbh. I miss her.

I can’t say I’d notice if one person disappeared. It would probably run into thousands before I noticed a drop off. Even then I’m not sure.

Often seen giving stellar advice (sorry 😁) to Mumsnetters trying to escape bad relationships.

I hang out on a couple of specialist topics and do see regulars on those, but the rest of the time I rarely clock usernames unless somebody gets a bee in their bonnet about something I said and unpleasantly disagrees with me.

I sometimes note names but not always.
But I can be reading a post and think "that must be so-and-so" and often am right
Always scroll on by if I recognise a poster who is a regular shit disturber

I miss R0wantree, such a wealth of information (she had the receipts!) and FloralBunting. Really gutted by the loss of MereDint.

MrsTerryPratchett.

I’ve commented previously on how fab she is. I change my name frequently, and I assume a lot of other people do too, so it’s harder to spot people now.

All the posters who keep up the good fight for women's rights.

No, it was when MN changed their terms to try to prevent adblockers etc.

Xena?

I don't really bother looking at the names any more. Too many people nowadays. I remember when Mumsnet was all fields...

I name change a lot and don’t often notice people’s user names now. I do remember Anyfucker though, I have been here since 2012!

Despite my name changes there’s one poster who frequently likes my posts. So o often wonder if we’d be friends irl.

MereDintofPandiculation left due to the new ads/cookies policy, I believe it was last year. She did a thread in gardening explaining her reasons at the time.

@prh47bridgeis my all time favourite poster. I lurk on legal but never post.

Oh also there are some people who post on a lot of the private school and boarding school threads and I am fascinated how they know so much about these schools.

Also has anyone mentioned Xenia? Is she still around? She was always very upfront about women working, was a lawyer, had 5 DC who’d gone through private school and used to refer to SAHM as housewives 😂

Ah yes I’ve just posted about here. Xenia.

There was a poster I think called theincrediblescreamingnit who used to be be very up front but I haven’t seen her for many moons.

There area couple of posters who have been mentioned who I did not take to .
Some of their posts came over as rather insensitive

I meant what I said. In my opinion it hasn't been blow smoke etc as I've seen threads where they really have been. This feels more measured compared to those ones.

Clearly, you think it had been which is of course fine. You're entitled to your opinion. Just don't know why you're confused with what I said. You can disagree with me 🙂

Interestingly I know a lawyer like this. She has a house husband she always says. She's paid for five children to go through private school, paid all their university fees. I think her present house husband does a bit of architecture again. Keeps the house and garden nice, generally entertains his step children when they're home. He's a really nice guy.

Probably Blondehavemorefun on the telly threads, I would have missed a lot of series if it wasn't for these and even though I don't post much on them because I <whispers> binge and they are always NO SPOILERS, I enjoy reading them

Does she have a 40 acre garden?

I remember that i also remember a cringey poster trying to defend her.actions because AF had " helped" so many women on mumsnet that she should have some kind of special rules just for her
Crazy covid times i guess!

I miss Hecate.

I would miss PigletJohn
