How long have you used MN for?

[SoleSource]

2006/07 here.

[MrsWembley]

Grot has it, Naghoul...

Just the one...

[Greensleeves]

since 2007

[ZenNudist]

Coming up on 3 years. Mainly using this name. Mostly lurking.

I've wasted a lot of time here that's for sure and have got some good advice. Hopefully given some too.

[catinwitchyboots]

Joined in 2000. Lurked until late 2003.

Came back in late 2009 and have been a fierce addict ever since

[fluffydressinggown]

Since 2004.

Lots of name changes since then.

[ouryve]

I've dipped in and out since DS1 was a wee 'un, but have been semi regular for a good 5 years.

golden oldie me

ds born dec 2002, found mumsnet in first few months, was lifesaver as was in central asia with no other western mums at all in my city.

have come an dgone over the years. Been back and regular for last few months.

Never namechanged!!!!!

[80sMum]

Must be about 8 years now for me.

[OhTheConfusion]

Since 2010 so 2yrs... name changed once and quite like 'ohtheconfusion' as it really sums me up!

MN is normally in the background of the comp whether at work or home... I need to go cold turkey to get more work done!

[OhTheConfusion]

P.s, what is 'swmnbn'?

[steppemum]

and despite being here for 10 years I still learnt lots of new things on the mumsnet in jokes thread and I have no idea what swmnbn is either

[MurderOfGoths]

About 4 years I believe

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

March 2010!! Where has my life gone!

[TheQueensDinner]

2006

[IvorHughJackolantern]

SWMNBN - She Who Must Not Be Named. Baby guru who got a bit narked at MNetters slagging her off.

[IvorHughJackolantern]

Can't believe I just called her a 'baby guru'.

It's early

[catinwitchyboots]

There's loads of people on here I could have sworn have been around forever! But they've only been here a year or two!

I quite like the revolving door-ness of MN. I recognise loads of regulars. But you soon forget about them when they disappear!

[Jux]

I started lurking when dd (now 13) was only 1 yo or so, but being unable to register as my clapped out computer and modem took so long to do anything I just got timed out all the time, or dh had to makee 'important' phone calls so I'd have to disconnect. When I got a new computer, one of the first things I did was register on MN. I had been looking forward to doing that for sooooooo looooong!

I have had a few user names over the years; I think I finally got here in 2005.

[steppemum]

I remember the whole 'baby guru' debacle, I just didn't realise she had become SWMNBN.

well, well, after the last 2 days I am becoming an insider!!

[IfNotNowThenWhen]

About 4 years-a few namechanges though. Do I get a badge?

[Justreadthefuckingwords]

2006/7, pregnant with DC1, lurker, followed by tentative poster, followed by prolific poster, it all went sadly wrong, over-shared, was outed, forged on under the same NN after not learning my lesson the first time & got myself in a world of shit.

Came back after a break when things all went a bit peculiar in RL, had loads of really wonderful support then buggered off for a long time to sort RL out.

Back again under a new NN, lurk more than post these days but am feeling the urge to return & start again as you're a bunch of funny fuckers & I miss the laughs.

Although there is a groundhog day feeling much of the time, when it's good, it's very, very good (& when it's bad, it's...)

& Worra 2011??? You have to be kidding me.
