There are two usernames I want but they were used once over a year ago. Can we do the name thing again?

Two? Grin That's very greedy.

Rooners · 11/09/2013 15:25

Oh yyyyy

I really want my old reggo number back as well though.

Can I have Jennifer8?

Rooners · 11/09/2013 15:25

And I would pay!

MarcelineTheVampireQueen · 11/09/2013 15:31

Ill only take one I swear!! I can make it halloweeney and christmassy..I never have a god holiday name. This is my chance HQ!

I'd be reluctant to take up someone else's old name. Some MNers have long memories and if an 'old/unused' name were being used by someone completely different then it could be confusing, I think?

Anyway, nobody's having any of my old names TYVM Grin

We're really sorry, but last time we did this (before my time) it apparently took approximately one million hours of staff time. So it's not something we're likely to do again.

Apologies

MarcelineTheVampireQueen · 11/09/2013 17:23

Surely you have at least one million hours spare in between the gin drinking and the biscuit eating????? Slackers! !!! [Grin]

Nah I under stand. I just have no imagination when it comes to names! Plus they posted once! Back to the drawing board! !!

But Helen left and Olivia is 'with child x2' and tech is fiddling so there may be a staffing crisis. Sad

FruOla · 11/09/2013 17:41

And Rowan's crying at the moment Sad

TrinityRhino · 11/09/2013 17:43

MarcelineTheVampireQueen · 11/09/2013 17:44

TrinityRhino · 11/09/2013 17:47

oh yes that was a nightmare, I hated it but I didn't want anyone at MNHQ cry

FruOla · 11/09/2013 17:49

Marceline .... Tech (as in main Tech No 1) lives in New York Grin

Tee2072 · 11/09/2013 17:51

Tech nearly had a nervous breakdown last time. Don't count on this!

Sparklingbrook · 11/09/2013 17:56

Marceline it's 2013 i am sure that would be fine and very modern. Grin

QueenStromba · 11/09/2013 17:58

I'm sure it wouldn't take as much time the second time around. I always find that it takes far longer to do things the first time around because I haven't come up with a good system.

Or maybe rather than doing it all at the same time again there could be a policy of if there's a name you want that was used a couple of times ages ago then you can email Mumsnet towers and ask nicely for it.
