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. 😏

Cheers for that! 😆

Jinglinghellsbells who has gone by similar user names, I think that was a Xmas related name change. A fantastic source of menopause related information , I've seen them help many posters besides myself. Grateful they take the time to answer so many queries. Has been far more useful than my GP.

Well I certainly enjoy and appreciate the Playmobil threads. Many thanks.
Imo MN is too big for cliques. CBA with them. If they do exist, hopefully they’ll fly over my head.

Cba with them too. But honestly haven't noticed them and I've been here a long time too. But name change, obviously.

I have noone that I recognise from one post to another

runnerducky · 02/10/2026 21:47

BertieBotts! A goldmine of car seat advice and her posts elsewhere are always helpful and non-judgemental. Some others who have already been mentioned too.

MapleCutie · 02/10/2026 21:48

I joined in the mid 2000s and remember the site feeling cliquey and some posters have conversations/in jokes with eachother on threads and ignoring newbies. One poster "Cod" sticks out... posters would suck up to them even though they were the most unfunny, dickhead poster on here.

SoMuchToBits · 02/10/2026 21:49

I joined MN way back in 2006, and then it was a much smaller place, so much easier to recognise posters (and people didn't name change as much).

I do recognise a few posters these days (other than on my own threads), but mostly the ones who post about specific things (OhYouBadBadKitten weather, RedToothbrush politics, PigletJohn plumbing etc)

I have no idea about names, just don't acknowledge when commenting.

Whooooooo9 · 02/10/2026 21:55

I need to wash my mouth out with soap and water for not acknowledging PigletJohn.

LuckyHazelFox

And there was a poster with ‘fruit’ in her name that used to post about music and food a lot but I can’t remember her name.

Was it 'EvilFruitBatHurlsFruit' ? I can't remember her posts but the name is unforgettable, as is ArseintheCoOpwindow 😂

HowardTJMoon · 02/10/2026 21:57

There aren't that many mumsnetters I'd like to have met in person but AnyFucker was definitely one of them. She was fantastic - firm when it was called for but sympathetic and supportive when needed. For some reason I always used to picture her as Maggie Smith in her 40s.

I didn't always agree with SolidGoldBrass, either, but she was also someone who would call a spade a fucking spade when needed.

CloudyBayPlease · 02/10/2026 21:59

None. I’ve been on here for 20 years and I don’t notice or care about posters nor their histories. I don’t notice usernames and I’d hope that’s across the board.

Both have died now but I think about them quite often: TwitterQueen and WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo.

Edited

both these ladies were absolute stars. I miss Pavlovthecat.

I’m always happy to see ItalianGreyhound

PigletJohn on the DIY threads

LunaTheCat · 02/10/2026 22:12

Flosime .. often on style and beauty but pops up in other places.. always very measured and thoughtful.

Dontrinsemince · 02/10/2026 22:14

I don't take that much notice of usernames, so I wouldn't notice if a regular poster left.
Nobody would notice me leaving because I name change regularly.

You 😘

Passive aggressive use of the kiss blowing emoji always speaks volumes.

HorribleHisTories15 · 02/10/2026 22:15

We’ve lost the lovely @EatShitDerek

and I’d be sad to see MsDee and SweetfordiLove go

not seen EllaPaella for a while sadly

or Elvedere

but one or two have moved over to Reddit and YouTube.
