Original poster

To wonder what happened to these old Mumsnetters?

There was Kewcumber who adopted from abroad as a single lady, there was a mum who always talked about her son Wilf, and there was a very direct, blunt and often right woman who I think wrote with no punctuation, who seemed to be on every thread and gave me lots of harsh truths! Going back a good decade now…

Anyone know what happened to them? Anyone else you wonder about?

What's wrong with reminiscing about old posters?
People having been doing it for years & will carry on doing it for years.

Riven. She was essentially driven off of MN when posters took it upon themselves to share her very personal story to the tabloids.

@misdee whose DH went through heart transplant. We all were routing for her DH when a heart became available. And now I’m in the same position - in hospital on the urgent list.

Ugh. Not another one of these fucking "pick me" threads idolising posters from old.
Get a grip.

Yet you come on to the clearly titled thread to post, instead of scrolling by something that you know irritates you.

Strange.

@RitaAndFrank was BitofFun the lady who fostered the drug addicted newborns? Or am I getting her mixed up with someone else?

AnyoneWhoHasAHeart · 02/04/2025 21:17

Cod is a regular poster on twitter. And her typing is nothing like it used to be on MN.

Because when someone started a thread on the very subject a couple of weeks ago, it degenerated into a pile-on slagging of a still active member. And thread was subsequently removed.

Remains to be seen whether this one will go the same way.

Ah. Yes she really was. Sorry for the mix up.

I’ve NCed over the years, many a time, but I remember so really old souls, from when MN was only just up and running. Cod, MorningPaper, MarsLady Slug, Rhubarb, Custardo, Enid, MaloryTowers, Marina, Expat, VVV, CountessDracula, Beetroot, Boko, JulesToo, Twiglett, LittleLapin… then a load of them disappeared in a puff of Moldie smoke. Those who were there know what I’m on about.
I miss BitofFun, she was beautiful and very kind.

Me too. Back when it was all fields!

This is my 18th year here!

hockityponktas · 02/04/2025 21:20

Starsinthenightsky always springs to mind on these threads. I think she wasn’t well and after I had some time out from MN she didn’t seem to be around when I came back⭐️

No I don’t think it was her - I remember there being a poster who did that, but I don’t think it was BoF. Happy to stand corrected if not!

hazelnutvanillalatte · 02/04/2025 21:20

Didn't they get banned - there was that thread on the forum that must not be named

I remember all of them.

I often wonder what happened to spook? If I recall correctly her exdh was some sort of manager of a band? Her threads went on for ages. I think that was her username?

I even remember WickedWaterWitch's rubber band ball. Well think it was hers?

Ha ha yes I remember that being oft quoted back in the day when it actually really was still all fields round here 😄 Times have changed indeed.

There were a few but are you thinking of EarthMotherImNot?

I remember Mhaimi’s drunk and incoherent first thread.
And the nutter that was Lavenderrrr

TheodoraCrumpet · 02/04/2025 21:24

I wonder where Getorfmoiland is these days. She was on Twitter for a short while, but vanished from there too.

Loved that name!

Im sure there was a thread like this a month or two ago and @cod popped up on it still here.

blippityblop5 · 02/04/2025 21:27

I’ve never paid attention to any usernames on here.. is that only me?

pimplebum · 02/04/2025 21:28

Oh worraliberty where are you I miss you , she revealed she was a lollipop lady - legend!

Spook's threads were probably the first ones I really engaged with on MN. Her horrible xh ran off with some teenager in a band he managed, I think? I'd love to know how she's doing now.

Hoppinggreen · 02/04/2025 21:29

Wilfs mum is around and anyone saying she was anything other than loving towards him should be ashamed

I miss Worra, and hope AnyFucker is still around.

Another memorable poster was GhostSpirit, but I’m pretty sure she’s still here under a different name.

I remember GS. She appeared to have quite a following here.

NiceoneSonny · 02/04/2025 21:30

Bupcakesandcunting. I didn't really like her abrasive nature, but she was extremely witty.
