The old chestnut of the User Name Amnesty?

95 replies

AlpacaLypse · 01/05/2014 21:25

I really do think a Username that was used for about a week and a half five years ago and has lain dormant ever since should be freed up. Maybe HQ could email dormant username owners and give them (say) thirty days to confirm they still want the name? Obviously some names should never be revived eg Mitmoo but I'm thinking the sort that posted once for innocuous advice and then drifted off, either nc-ing or to Another Site?

What do you reckon?

This thread has prompted me to return to my old name.

madamecholet posts on style and beauty. I've seen her so there!

CupCakesAreCrap · 01/05/2014 23:01

Thanks :-)

AmIMitmoo · 01/05/2014 23:06

Can I ask for a brief summary on Mitmoo? It was before my time and I've asked before but no one ever answers - but I'm not sure if that's because you aren't meant to talk about her Confused

I've been here 10 YEARS! I've named changed frantically to get something off my chest at silly hours of the day and night a zillion times.

You can have them all back, except my not so imaginative Christmas and Halloween ones, they're all mine!

Why shouldn't Mitmoo be revived?

There may be a pretend Mme Cholet on Style and Beauty. She will be one of the tall blonde ones often seen round here but I am more in the mould of the real MmeCholetofTheCommon.

AmIMitmoo · 01/05/2014 23:14

Ah, makes more sense now, thanks Maryz.

Forgettable · 01/05/2014 23:17

If you post Mitmoo your post will get deleted

Forgettable · 01/05/2014 23:18

Bollocks to fat saucisson fingers

What Mary said ^^ much more sensible

NormanTheForeman · 01/05/2014 23:21

See, Maryz has demonstrated how easy it is to impersonate another poster!

This is the REAL Normy!

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 01/05/2014 23:21

So, AmIMitmoo...are you?

MmeCholetofTheCommon · 01/05/2014 23:22

I was playing the Womble song on YouTube as DH got home. He's now lit a cigar and is humming it. He wants to know why I was playing it and we have reminisced about Joe Kinnear's Yellow and Blue Army.

See we invoke Her and the site goes down

FoxSticks · 01/05/2014 23:33

So, AmIMitmoo...are you?

No it was me, I am a bit worried that I broke the site by asking about her though!
