Posters you still think about

[Helfs]

Proof I probably spend too much time on here but does anyone else have posters they still think about every now and again?

Mine is the Australian poster whose son was in the abusive relationship and her many threads about helping him get out of the relationship and realizing she was toxic.

Can’t find the threads at all now but I hope her and her son are still doing well!

Does anyone else have stand out posters or threads that stick in their minds?

A poster who was ill and having problems with her music teaching neighbour - Psiaspops
Although many others have stayed with me too

I remember a poster called TheLastOfTheNappies (I think that's right) who posted a thread titled something like 'help me have a good relationship with my MIL or DH and I will divorce'. Turned out that the MIL was utterly dominating and batshit crazy and the DH was a two faced enabler. OP had changed her DD's name several months after the birth and MIL refused to accept it. OP found out that MIL and DH were throwing a first birthday party for the DD using the original name and were neither inviting nor informing the OP. She stopped posting on the thread after a while and I haven't seen her on her for years but I do still think of her every time these types of threads come up. The DD would be maybe 14 now.

I always enjoyed usualsuspects posts

Was she banned? So many witty posters hounded off MN. It's a rather dull place now and I do wonder why I stick around.

The poster who foststered a baby who was born addicted. She sadly died several years later.

I want to know about the poster who had a sail attached to her house by her neighbour, innocuous post really but want to find out if she had it resolved (sail/Sun shade, hooked onto he house)

Dittany. A poster on the Feminist boards. I learnt a lot from her.

There was a thread on this quite recently. It descended into an old poster love in and some of them miraculously reappeared to exchange air kisses.

Most of them are probably here under name changes anyway.

BitofFun and TwitterQueen. I was thinking about them the other day

I think about @bloodywhitecat who forstered babies and her husband died of cancer. And of course Pamela and a poster who'd been diagnosed with some kind of lymphoma at the beginning of lockdown.

Fluffydressinggown. I always think of her doing her colouring in and what she went through.

The poster who was clearly very, very mentally unwell with extreme health anxiety.

It was always about her DC, that she'd taken them on a playdate or something and later found out there were cases of chicken pox at the school the playdate went to so now her DC was going to die and she was picking out what clothes she wanted them to be buried in.

She'd name change all the time but was so recognisable and her threads often got heated because people became so frustrated with her.

Me too. I hope she knows how her words on a screen changed people.

Someone who was dumped by text and told not to respond. The ex was a total arsehole. She concentrated on living her best life and he came crawling back! Much satisfaction in telling him where to go.

Yes! He even took the vanilla sugar!!!!!

I think Oddsocks or similar name going round on the night bus as she was homeless.

Another poster who posted Obese with skinny arms and legs who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer I think. I wonder how she got on.

I remember the chutney man too. He ran off with OW. Last I remember seeing was that the OP and her DS were doing really well. I hope that’s still the case. She was brilliant, the way she handled things.

Someone has to!

Was that RunningIn The Rain? So inspirational!

Was that Riven? I do think of her whenever one of these posts pops up.

That was TwitterQueen- sadly she passed away. I still remember the “obese with thin arms and legs thread” because it was the most salient lesson ever in “RTFT”. She’d started the thread, a few people had flagged it might be OC and she’d gone to the doctor and been diagnosed. Then some idiot who obviously hadn’t read the updates posted something along the lines of “stop making excuses. Calories in. Calories out”. Honestly if I’d done that I’d have fired myself into the sun in shame.

FV45 was in a domestic abuse situation and planning to leave.

The Australian mum with the son in a controlling relationship.

The lady who married a guy from NZ and moved there, had a child and the sepzrated but she couldn't come back, trapped in the middle of nowhere with no job, money or support, i often think of her, she had guven up everything.

Langclegg from the Feminist board, banned for stating actual truth and bilovical facts. We all miss her and kearned so much from her posts.

how long do you have to be on here to remember all the names and the stories attached to them? wow

The first was some great writing.
The second... Is she the one who kept getting banned? Or - oh no - was that one who hadnt had a poo for weeks... Yes, I think so.

There was one where a woman had moved house and all weird things were happening and it was like the new village didn't want her there. It got removed after 900+ posts. I do wonder what happened.
