how well known am I??

and how long do you think you need to be here to be 'known'??

cos then, if anyone comes and complains in future that they are not noticed, we can refer back to this thread and tell them.

I think that I am guilty of hardly remembering anyone by name. I remember what is said to me.

The only mumsnet names that I remember are
cod
notcod
expatinscotland?
and someone else with scotland in their name?

claplepew · 07/10/2008 18:47

I know loads of posters names now. I've been off work for 6 weeks and as I'm not allowed to do anything I've been on here --too- much a bit more.

When I go back to work in a few weeks new people will join and confuse me again .

noonki · 07/10/2008 18:48

sorry sorry.... ohhh that's really scary, I'll have to think about it coz it might give me nightmares

squeaver · 07/10/2008 18:50

Psycho - I think you're well famous. In fact if you weren't such MN royalty I would accuse you of being one of those attention-seeking types

I've been here all this year and I don't think anyone ever recognises me or remembers me from threads. But that's cool, I'm not that prolific.

I seem to remember everyone's name. Funny because in RL I always remember faces but never names but then, here, I suppose the names are the faces iyswim.

FromGirders · 07/10/2008 18:55

I don't think it's anything to do with how long you've been here, it's much more about how much you post. For example, I ought to be an "oldie" - I've been around for five years, but I don't post very much, not enough toexpect more than a handful of people to recognise me.
Am guessing some newbie has been whinging about being "ignored"? either make yourself noticeable, or talk a lot!

CharleeInChains · 07/10/2008 18:56

Or be disgustingly crude like me!

memoo · 07/10/2008 19:05

memoo · 07/10/2008 19:07

memoo - the answer is earlier on in the thread

memoo · 07/10/2008 19:14

oh god! you mean I have to go back and read seven hundred and sixty two posts!

SuperPsychoTrollSlayer · 07/10/2008 20:32

see, I go off to do my troll slaying duties, and this thread just grows and grows and grows, and all nice to me

solidgoldskullonastick · 07/10/2008 20:36

I know you all.
You're AAAAAAALLLLLLL TROLLS!

mou · 07/10/2008 20:47

'I am a troll foll-de-roll, and i live in a hole...!'

I'm not, but where do I know that from?

Got over the newbie thing by 'talking a lot'.. and being interested in other folk. Weird because I'm pretty shy in RL. Find it easier to be confident in my MN guise.

Guess i'm still pretty much a newbie (about 4 months) but feel completely at home here.

SuperPsychoTrollSlayer · 07/10/2008 21:24

mou, you been here longer than that surely???

SGB...

LadyGlencoraPalliser · 07/10/2008 21:29

I have been here a couple of years but had to change my name because someone in RL recognised me probably on account of my total lack of discretion when it comes to posting details of my life.
So I hope nobody recognises me.
I think some people get known in a couple of weeks - and some are still unknown after years.

Jeepney · 08/10/2008 04:10

I recognise most of the people on this thread and a few other names spring to mind. But I know that I am not recognisable as I haven't done anything interesting yet!

So to make me a lttle more interesting can someone please help me with a halloween name and later an xmas name

mou · 08/10/2008 07:37

Actually, psycho, I think it is less because I am sure I hadn't joined around the time of my birthday (august). I've just made a nuisance of myself so it feels like i've been here longer!!!!

"Jeepneycreepers"...(a la scooby-doo).

I'm with you LadyG, very much worried about giving away my ID but it is soooo good to get things off your chest.
