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. 😏

Waves. They were I still have my badge somewhere we had to wear on one of the Xmas meets

There's been a very long running series of threads for supporting those of us who have been affected by other people's drinking and @pointythings has been fabulous on those.

I've made some fabulous real life friends from MN. I'm not mentioning their names, but they know who they are.

I know loads of people name changed after the big data breach of 2016 ish and also Penis Beaker virtually doubled the numbers on the site, so seeing a name you recognised became a rarer thing.

But there were some posters who have kept the same name for 20+ years who I've realised I never see any more ... like SoupDragon, ShowOfHands, BIWI, HazyJane, OYBBK and indeed AnyFucker.

I will never forgive the banning of MaryZ and still miss her.

I’m very much still here @LindorDoubleChoc!

Yes! . I wrote my post and then scrolled back and saw you very much alive and kicking on this very thread! Heh heh. Perhaps we both aren't here as much as we used to be?

I am sure we are all thinking of the same one. A relatively new name as I do notice user names - and name change a lot myself. But the one getting repeat mentions says a lot about those mentioning.

My own is Billy68 (I think that's the name) I haven't seen them around for years but always found them kind and sensitive, yet forthright.

Bluntness100 is missed, but for the wrong reasons 😂

Bluntness100 is missed

Don't worry, my aim is improving.

Is the lady from Birmingham “Soulsorce” that was trying to lose weight still on the site under a new name? she was a regular several years ago.

Bluntness100 is missed

Yes like a hole in the head.

Ah EatShitDerek was lovely.

I certainly recognise quite a few Usernames - either because they post a lot, or because they’ve been around for a while , what I don’t remember is whether they are someone whose previous comments I’ve agreed with or not. In fact every time that has happened and I have felt I quite liked a poster, I would see them on a different thread and realise they held completely different views from my own.

It’s definitely true that if you have reason to look back on any very old posts, the chat and banter between different posters is very different to the way it is now. Unless as you say, it’s a long running thread and you feel you actually know someone (or may actually have met them).

I remember your name and I used to lurk on those threads - if you mean the what are you wearing ones.

I’ve often wondered if long running threads that just disappear are because people have moved to RL chatting.

@MapleCutie
im glad you still think of me.

kisses xx

Oh god 🙄

@Blondeshavemorefun
She does great tv threads.

It's been soooooo long since I've posted on any sleep threads. DS1 has also recently turned 18. Always nice to see people from the "old days" though :)
