To ask who is the longest serving contributor to Mumsnet

[youngfarmer]

I've lurked for ages but only fairly recently plucked up the courage to contribute. Noticed the Podcast thread about how it all started and just wondered who is the longest serving member and how many of the first contributors are still here? Might be difficult to find out I guess or maybe not, I'm no expert on these matters!

I think I've done about 10 years. I have name changed a few times though.

Yes boh if we just listenwd to her the first time around everyone would have been much happier. She's a good poster.

Stealth, I've been knocking about for ages, but I don't join in with much as honestly I think AIBU ruined the tone

I'm a newbie but have read some truly fantastic threads in classics - bupcakesandcunting's posts had me weeping with laughter. Hope she is still around!

Is Ragwort still here? Tiktok still seems to be although she doesn't give breastfeeding advice anymore. How about Aitch?

I'd love to know some of the early poster must have adult children now, grandchildren? I'd love to know if there has been a grandchild born to a mn mum, whoss own birth was on mn, iyswim.

2005. The day I found out I was upduffed with no.1 son. I am an intermittent poster and regular namechanger. I remember katy44 very clearly, so joining the dots to SPB is quite lovely really

Ragwort is on thos thread :)

Stealth did you used to run the very funny board that used to discuss strictly come dancing?
When it closed that's when I moved to Mumsnet.

I think Scottishmummy called me a cunt once....happy days.

I've had loads of usernames.

Katy 44...what a bitch :o

Definitely not me :) never seen it

Also joined in 2006. My reg number is 46,000 something. I'm sure I was on one of these threads once and a member with a user number of something like 59 came on and commented. I was like .

Aitch has gone I think as have rhubarb and custard. I genuinely think lots of posters just find their dc are too grown up.

I'm amazed that someone rembers katy44 though, thank you

12 years, but that doesn't make me better or worse than anyone else.

About 2010. Many incarnations. Have met people on this thread. Those were the days.

Ah that's a shame. I guess she's not still running the BLW site then. MN and that were my virtual homes in those days. And she must have lovely trouble free teens.

Ooh I wonder- has anyone ever made a real life friend from Mumsnet?

I remember my DD was still at school when I first posted as it was a question about a school trip. I think it had been around a while then, and I’ve deregistered a few times and name change frequently usually after I have been very active so as to stop the DM using my history or to stop being outed as I am a very private person in real life. My online persona is how I wish I could be, but I just don’t do sharing and friendship.

I remember katy 44, I just didn't realise it was you

I remember EleanorHandbasket and Trinity.

Pinky - I have :)

2008 under a different persona. Had to reregister after the infiltration and lost all my previous.

No :o her little girl (can't remember what she called her as a nickname) is probably at univeristy now :)
