Since 2003! So 22 years. Many name changes though as i always think i give too much away.

GreenAndWhiteStripes · 24/08/2025 15:12

Since 2011 for me.

Iwontlethtesungodownonme · 24/08/2025 15:15

I started posting in Jan 2005. Was loitering for a while before that.

Faineante · 24/08/2025 15:15

Why do you want to know?

Saeurcat · 24/08/2025 15:41

A friend introduced me to it in 2011/12 and have been here under various names ever since

Arlanymor · 24/08/2025 15:44

Two years - I am a baby in MN terms... but 46 IRL! 👶

Tarkan · 24/08/2025 15:49

I first came here when DC2 was a baby (now 17). My HV recommended Netmums when I had PPD and I got mixed up and ended up here instead. 😁

I don’t think I registered straight away though, I just lurked and read a lot for a while.

AintNoPunshineWhenShesGone · 24/08/2025 15:52

Not sure why I'm answering or why we're in Site Stuff but 14 years for me.

Vodkamartini3olives · 24/08/2025 15:56

2007 I was working nights in a hotel. Very pregnant and stumbled on a Mumsnet thread about prams. Then I found aibu and I was hooked.

Radiowaawaa · 24/08/2025 15:56

20 years. Lots of name changes.

currentlybrunette · 24/08/2025 15:56

Under various accounts since 2007.

cigarsmokingwoman · 24/08/2025 15:58

18yrs under various usernames. Found penguin man thread and was hooked.

Dabberlocks · 24/08/2025 16:00

Over 10 years, not entirely sure really.

SauvignonBlanche · 24/08/2025 16:00

18 years for me too, I remember Penguin man 😂

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 24/08/2025 16:03

Ten. But not all under the same name.

Channel4IsShit · 24/08/2025 16:04

I joined in 1911. It was much more limited then. We had to send posts by street urchin runners or, if you were on Style and Beauty, by footman.

Things have changed. I don’t really recognise much of the current discussions. Though the gripes about husbands are terribly familiar.

Using MN since the early 2000's. In those days it was a great source of information. I was a single man, and my friend (also a single man) put me on to it for the great reviews and recommendations for products of various types. We wanted to know about domestic products and the source of information was fabulous, and both he and I benefited enormously. There really wasn't anything else of its type at that time.

Didn't use it for many years, and more recently, my wife reintroduced me to it. It is way more of an abuse a discussion board now, and once one has sorted through the drivel, there are some very engaging debates and discussions. Fortunately, still a good deal of excellent product suggestions and reviews too.

No idea. 16 years maybe. Is there a way to find out?

MsDDxx · 24/08/2025 16:35

Can you remember your first username? If so you can check using advanced search.

DramaAlpaca · 24/08/2025 16:47

Since around 2011, I think.

TomeTome · 24/08/2025 16:48

24 years

NinePoppadomsAndASaagAloo · 24/08/2025 16:49

24 years! 😱 I wanted to read about vaccines for my small child who is now 27. So many name changes I’ve lost count.

Secondishspring · 24/08/2025 16:49

I think it was 2002. Lots of name and life changes since then.

Secondishspring · 24/08/2025 16:50

Oh actually no it was 2001.
