Dear Mumsnet, for Christmas I would like...

[HerrenaHarridan]

All of the people who haven't posted/logged in for the last 5+ years who are hogging all the good discworld names to be stripped of them so that me and the other discworldians can fight to the death have them.

I have been a good girl this year, I promise please don't search my posts

Pleeeeeeease?

The name I wanted has only one surviving thread (perhaps user posted mainly in chat?)

I'm not sure if recycling names is that good an idea though. It's probably a lot of work for MNHQ, and could cause lots of bad feelings amongst those who were pipped to names they'd craved.

I would like more Smileys, please.

Even the suggestion of any name amnesty sends Tech and therefore MNHQ into a pitiful rocking position of traumatic shock.

So why not make their Christmas and ask?

No no no don't go there!

Tech will start whimpering and crying and Olivia will come off Maternity leave, abandoning her twins (dramatic), to scold you!!

They did this once. Never again!

They did this once. Never again!

Why? What happened?

It was a technical nightmare that still gives Tech the twitches and Olivia the sobs.

Just...no.

Will no one think of the twins?

But what's so difficult about it?
