To wonder what happened to these old Mumsnetters?

[Kallabra]

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?

I don’t remember her name but there was a poster I often think about who had a young son and then found out she was pregnant with a girl very late into the pregnancy. The only other thing I remember was her posting her son had gone to bed one night cuddling a baguette 🤣 does this ring a bell for anyone?

I think she didn’t use full stops or capitalisation? Something like that. It made it seem like a very distinct and memorable style

I joined when I was trying to get pregnant - he’s nearly 19 now.

So many names have come and gone. I don’t visit often enough now to recognise anyone but in those early years I was here all the time. Parenting was much easier with a nest of vipers to support.

Cod very active on Twitter/X that’s where she holds court now. I loved her posts.

What happened with Riven. I forget

What happened to Bupcakes? She was on here loads when I joined.

I remember SpringyDaffs always gave insightful advice

Ah the biweekly "where are our ladyships: AnyFucker, Bluntness, Sparkling, Worra and the rest of the queen bee mn royalty team? They've stopped posting, are they dead???? They were so hilarious and clever! I can't possibly search those names so I'll create the 1005th thread and pretend there's no namechange feature on mn".

Well here I am. You can stop the search now. Line up and receive your blessings, my minions.👸🫅

Signed MN Royalty.

I've been wondering for ages how she's doing, I miss her posting. I am really pleased to know her and his son are doing well, we used to talk a lot back in the day, it means a lot to know they're doing well xx

Could you be any greener?

Jealousy really isn't very attractive.

Buffy is fine! She is still an academic doing slightly mind-bending creative work.

You were here loads 😊. It took me longer than I'm willing to admit to understand your name🤣🤣. Can't believe he's 19 already we have the years gone.

Why does it bother you so much that people formed friendships and remember people fondly? The level of aggression in your post is bizarre.

I’ve been here since 2001, the baby I first posted about is 27 now…

I’m still in touch with quite a few old posters IRL and recognise some of these names.

<glass clink> to any other old timers! remember when it was all fields?!

We probably met!

I think about Pamela a lot. She’s often on my mind even though I didn’t know her IRL 😥

I often think about OddSocksHighHeels and wonder how she’s getting on

I remember MarsLady on the American Idol threads. We usually backed the same person

It’s posts like this that offer illumination as to why so many Mners are obsessed with ‘cliques’ and ‘exclusions’. Someone only has to say ‘What happened to X?’ for someone to start fulminating about ‘Queen Bees’ and ‘Mn royalty’.

EatShitDerek maybe? That’s another name I haven’t seen in a very long time come to think of it

I remember a few bonkers posts from I think Phyllisnights, unsure of spelling.

I used to like seeing CogitoErgoSometimes on the Relationships board, it was a shame when she stopped posting.

Can’t believe Pagwatch and HullyGully haven’t been mentioned. They were the prefects when I joined.

Maybe if there wasn’t a thread about it every week it would be different

Ah Bootlickers Unite! They've already started falling over themselves to defend their queens from perceived "jealousy and aggression" within a second.

Please form an orderly queue as we attempt to kiss the rings once again. Drop your nasty swords and find some humour, there's no fight here to be had.

I'm trying to remember was there a mass flounce and a new forum created. Could have been another forum. I was very sleep deprived in those days 🤣😴😴
