Mumsnet is 15 years old today - happy birthday to us all!

[KateMumsnet]

Hello all - and many happy returns to MNers everywhere.

To mark the auspicious occasion, we've been taking a misty-eyed trip down memory lane. Come and have a look at the threads of Mumsnet legend, the things we'd never have learned without Mumsnet, and the pictures that still make us snigger - and do share your best Mumsnet memories here, we'd love to hear 'em.

Oh, God, don't mention photos! Did you notice that one of the official photographers seemed to take a shine to Zombie?? He was constantly taking her picture.

Best wishes for a very happy birthday!

Well Zombie looked FAB, so there should be no worries. I however...

when are we saddo's getting the pics then

Zombie and Photographer, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G…

I bet Zombie looked just great, even with limbs hanging off a bit.
I really wish I could've been there

Happy Days xx
Even the Daily Fail is joining in..

I love that DM journos think we are "monsters'

Christ, the bloody Daily Fail really can't bear Mumsnet, can they?

Glad that the feeling is mutual.

I'm not even going to grace that link with a click.

Oh, that's made my day: the DailyFail feels threatened by a bunch of 'mummies' - be afraid, DM, be very afraid!

I love that DM journos don't know when the last general election was...

Happy birthday Mumsnet!

Hello daily mail!

I dislike you very much.

Glad The Party was just so fab!!!!
Waiting for the invitations to go out for the 18th !!!!

Happy birthday! My first born is 15. I can't imagine being without MN in those early years.

Happy birthday MN! I had never read the thread about EMIN and her tiny foster baby. Read it through at work in my lunch hour, only to have to muffle my sobs by the end. MN is a special place with very special people.

Happy Birthday Mumsnet!

God, how I love you. I've spent so much time on here over the last five years, it's been fab.

chin chin!

Happy birthday Mumsnet!!! Thank you for keeping me sane for the last 10 years!

Happy Birthday Mumsnet, thanks for seeing my DC from Primary to leaving home!

Happy Birthday Mumsnet! God, have I really been on this site for most of that time? Was told about the site a few months after my dd was born in 2000, and have been here ever since. Have changed my name a couple of times, am not a massive contributor, but Mumsnet is one of my two default sites to log into. Always there for advice, fun, real issues, and controversy! Congratulations to the fab founding members and all of you have continued to make this site so successful and a place for all us to come to, whether in happy and quite frankly horrible times xx

Happy birthday Mumsnet!

I,m thrilled to be sharing a birthday with you! only a few years older

I missed your baby years mn, I arrived when you were nearly 4 . Some things will always be remembered, but I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of the ancient stuff now!

Happy birthday Mumsnet!

My children are a bit older than you! I think I was aware of you in those brain foggy baby/toddler days but those were the days of dial up and self help book. It was a few years later that I really joined in, and a few broken computers and years later that I signed up properly again.

15 years ago the Internet was quite a different place. It really was just all fields (of green. We still had one of those greeny monitors! No pictures.) You are quite remarkable!

What a crap and disingenuous piece that was in the DailyMail - trying to hold on to their own readers and stop anyone coming here instead? Because if they did let's face it they wouldn't be back! And then throw us a few scraps in the form of the nice quotes from the Orchard House blogger at the end. It isn't enough DF but then you know that!

Happy birthday Mumsnet! For 10 years, you have been my resource centre and confidant. I have learnt a lot from the many hours I have spent here. Thank you!
