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 would miss MrsHamlet. She gave me some advice a few weeks ago and it has made a huge difference to my daughter and saved my sanity.

All the “royalty” who supposedly were banned or flounced, will all still be on Mumsnet under different user names, trying in vain to return to their glory days. Thankfully not going to happen on modern day Mumsnet

I miss AnyFucker.. not seen her on here for ages. I’m not sure I’d ‘miss’ anyone but always enjoy reading Floisme and Judystilldreamsofhorses on S&B. All my favourite mumsnetters have actually become good friends in ‘real life’ - we bonded on a S&B thread years ago and we moved chat to WhatsApp. Been chatting daily ever since.

Agreed its so much bigger these days and these threads come up every few months
A lot of names mentioned and are mentiooned on every thread like this are from well before i became a member 17 or so years ago.

Takes one to know one 😉🤣

But they’ll all still be knocking about!

No doubt
Remembering the glory days😂

Yes those and also one who I think is Elizabethbennetsbonnet? And the sen advisor use to Called theenginethatcould or something similar?

RoxanneMonke! Her thread from about 10 years ago was epic! Haven’t seen her on here since.

I think I only recognise the crazy ones

BIWI has helped so many women on the low carb boards

Oh yes! PigletJohn who I don’t see much but they are a good egg.

I remember Xenia & her diaries! I remember a poster with Bluntness in the username & she seemed miserable all the time, did she start a thread asking why some people thought she was rude? 😆

Is it really busier? I often see the same posters

I have to agree with several posters. My first thought was MrsTerryPratchett - always wise, compassionate and sparky. (I wonder if we could still spot her if she does name change.) Then RedToothBrush, who I've only just come across on a thread about emergency scenarios - lots of brilliant posts there. And even though I've never needed PigletJohn's advice on DIY - I have often clocked how generous he is with it. There are a few other names I often recognise and appreciate their posts.

She went to it in lockdown I think. Imagine the hysteria that caused on the Covid threads when posters wanted to report their neighbours for just stepping outside their back door to put the rubbish out! 😂

I very rarely look at names nowadays and so don't recognise many. I like @lauriefairycake (or something like that) who will always ask posters what they learned about relationships when they were growing up. It's a really good point. However I notice the comment and then look up to see it's her. Years back there were tons of regulars whose names I knew - I much preferred it then.

She’s great.

I remember a poster called Flowery who was an HR specialist. She gave lots of accurate advice on the employment threads but still some randoms would argue with her thinking they knew best. 🙄

There are plenty on the FWR threads, who are great.

Yes, I forgot TinselAngel who has done so much for women both on line worldwide and in real life. Giving advice and courage to women in the most coercive of relationships.

Hello 😊

I occasionally lurk when I'm bored, but haven't posted for a long time. I stopped posting when the site became about adverts rather than the people and and community here.

I miss the old days and being able to chat with other weather interested people. I also miss some of the companions and friends I made here. I hope all the old timers lurking and posting here are well.

For those who joined in an era where they dont recognise names - you don't know what you missed. There's something very valuable about community, even online.

ANYFUCKER the most straight talking member ever to be on MN.
I repeat ANYFUCKER.

I rarely notice posters names.
