People that everyone knows on mumsnet. Do you remember posters names?

You can definitely be MN famous, I recognise a lot of the names mentioned, there are also people who are very well known in certain areas, like Buffy on FWR (and I recognise Kim147 from there too) or the infamous MashaBell (with her, ahem, distinctive posting style) on any phonics discussion or statisticallychallenged on the bra interventions.

Honeydragon was the first name that popped into my head, when I read the OP. She immac'ed her baby, dyed the baby blue, and accidentally rimmed the labrador. The woman is a legend!!

And I am really touched that I have been mentioned on here - MN is somewhere where I have met a lot of amazing people and made some great friends - and has helped me in so many ways.

You are all amazing people, whether you are a prolific poster, a full-time lurker or any shade in between.

Its reasonably easy to be topic famous, if you regularly post in one area, the posters get to know each other, a bit like a club.

To get Mumsnet famous you either need to be here under one name for years, post prolifically everywhere or be an utter cock.

If you can manage a combo of the three, you'll be noticed Grin

If someone would like to PM me with derek's nc I'd be grateful - I was most worried about her absence.

Viva that is right - bourton on the water and he was charged. There was a whole "will he won't he just plead guilty" stress and I was facing having to go to court 40 miles awU with newborn DD who was just out of NICU. He did plead guilty at 11th hour but not before his crazy neighbour found us and started saying awful things about me and MN pulled all the threads.

MomOfTwoGirls2 · 19/03/2015 22:40

I recognise a few names, maybe 10 or so. But when I read your OP 3 came to mind immediately

I think I used to be mumsnet famous when I was relatively new and bounding all over the boards like an excited puppy. I post a lot less now, and newer members are rude to me: a sure sign my star has waned Grin

NoArmaniNoPunani · 19/03/2015 22:51

Does anyone know if composhat left or NC?

That WomanVsbarbie she's so hot right now!

Glad I've been mentioned. Many times. [Mwakiss sweeties]

Bambambini · 19/03/2015 22:55

Ha - obviously because I name change often, no one knows me! Right!

It's the ones that are gone I remember - for good and bad but they stood out.

emmelinelucas · 19/03/2015 22:55

mitmoo and zeebrugge were all over the place when I first came on here.
Turned out they were trolls.
Anyone know what happened to Pinot ? and StealthPolarBear ?
I think I am due a nc, but my style is my own, so if anyone cared I am easy to spot.

emmelinelucas · 19/03/2015 22:58

ooh yeah, Getorf was witty.

I recognise quite a few names on here but don't recognise posting styles.

Been on here a few years under this name but more of a lurker than a poster

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/03/2015 23:17

Where did Portofino go?

Saw her around a lot when I first joined in 2012 but haven't for ages now.

Moln · 19/03/2015 23:19

I'd remember names and certain traits I've associated with them when I see the name rather than be able to list off names. A lot of them have been mention in this thread, there's also lots of names mentioned so far that I don't recognise too.

I probably could list three

MaryZ
Pictish
LeQueen

There's a good chance I've got them wrong though!!

engeika · 19/03/2015 23:25

Yes and Mrs Terry Prachet and agree about Mrs De Vere. And MaryZ - there are quite a few.

I name change - but don't post enough to be known anyway.

thenextday · 19/03/2015 23:25

I have been mentioned here under a name change Grin
I have changed my name about ten tines... Recently because STBexH found a post in relationships I'd posted, and the shit hit the fan.Shock

But divorce comes through shortly so all is well.
I will name change back to my favourite name then.

What happened to Riven after all that?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 19/03/2015 23:27

I must be weird because I remember hundreds of MN posters.far too many to list. Threads like this always surprise me.

Sallystyle · 19/03/2015 23:34

Not one person remembers me!

Poor forgettable me!

RonaldMcDonald · 19/03/2015 23:38

I didn't know scottishmummy was gone
that's a pity

WombleGravy · 19/03/2015 23:41

Portofino was banned.

RonaldMcDonald · 19/03/2015 23:52

Portofino banned?

Summerisle1 · 19/03/2015 23:54

Glad to see EatShitDerek back and on form!

I was actually here years ago, back in the days of FabbyChic, Mitmoo and Riven. It was quite interesting coming back as a Mumsnet Virgin.
