I joined MN probably about 15 years ago when my first was born and it helped me loads then and through two subsequent miscarriages.
I was MsMummy then.
I drifted away and recently came back to ask for parents' insights into something I was researching but couldn't remember my login so had to set up a new account.
Since coming back FWR has been a bloody godsend. A lifeline in all the madness.
But it's also been really wonderful to see names of people still here who were active members and gave me advice when I first joined all those years ago.
That was it really. Just wanted to wave at the long-timers and say Hi. And thanks for being fabulous.

Since 2006. And at some point, our joining date was visible in our profiles.

ComeBy thanks!

Angelonia · 02/07/2020 11:19

I've been on MN for 9 years I think. It's my favourite website!

Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches · 02/07/2020 11:22

MN played a huge part in getting me out of an awful relationship.

I’ve also make actual real life friends through MN which has been an amazing thing.

CremeEggThief · 02/07/2020 11:23

Member since 2011, but lurked occasionally for a few years before.

AlCalavicci · 02/07/2020 11:24

GlottalStrop · 02/07/2020 11:26

16 yrs with a few e-mail changes due to a problematic ex, but have a wonderful ds to show for it. MN has been invaluable.

yellowbluebell · 02/07/2020 11:26

CuriousaboutSamphire · 02/07/2020 11:28

About 12 years. This is my 3rd, maybe 4th returning user name!

I dip in and out and never remember my log in details Smile

bearlyactive · 02/07/2020 11:32

About three and a half years under several different names: a relative newbie!

zeddybrek · 02/07/2020 11:37

6 years. It's the only social media I use as it actually helps with so many things in RL.

leafeater · 02/07/2020 11:49

@Bloomburger I was at those too Smile my first post was early 2000 I think!

sixthtimelucky · 02/07/2020 11:50

Since 2006.

I've name changed about 20 times.

I love and hate MN in equal measure!

Ulrikaka · 02/07/2020 11:50

Nearly 15 years. Read it for something to do now, rather than for information and support.

MoonDelay · 02/07/2020 12:07

About 15 years on and off, in and out forgetting my username and starting all over again😬

NoraEphronsneck · 02/07/2020 12:36

Penis Beaker also brought me here so 6-ish years.

YourHandInMyHand · 02/07/2020 12:43

About 13/14 years now I think.

zingally · 02/07/2020 12:45

Honestly couldn't tell you... Could be 10 years.

Started off on the primary education pages, as was a primary school teacher, and it was interesting to hear things from the parents point of view, and offer some advice/opinions when I could.

Then, randomly my dad mentioned the AIBU page as being a good source of entertainment... And he wasn't wrong!

WitsEnding · 02/07/2020 12:59

8 or 9 years ago, came on for 'parenting teenagers' advice and stayed. I don't namechange unless I've admitted something spectacularly identifying.

Dropout DD is fine now. We aren't emotionally or geographically close but I can live with that.

MyBingaling · 02/07/2020 13:00

2004, when pregnant with my first child. Regular name changer, though.

snowybean · 02/07/2020 13:01

Hmm, probably for about 9 months. I'm a newbie compared to a lot of ya. I like it here, though :)

hamstersarse · 02/07/2020 13:03

18 years Shock

I started a Gregg's sausage roll outrage with my first ever post. And name changed swiftly.

LoseLooseLucy · 02/07/2020 13:05

7-8 years. We used to be able to see the date, where has that gone?

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 02/07/2020 13:09

Since 2008ish.
Many name changes and periods of a few months when I don't log on at all.
Its changed a lot!

teenagetantrums · 02/07/2020 14:35
