Gransnet How did you hear about it?

7000? Really glitabo. So where are they all and how many post on the forums? 1% perhaps?

Lots of names that don't appear in threads crop up when competition prizes are announced, also when there are live chats new names appear. One must assume there are a lot of lurkers just waiting for a topic that interests them.

I was given that information by Harrigran on the grown up daughters thread. I have no reason to doubt that she knows what she is talking about.

Sorry Harrigran our posts overlapped.

I came across it when a search for reviews of a particular baby buggy took me to Mumsnet.

Me too Baubles, can't remember what I was researching, probably twin pushchairs.

I saw an ad in the Guardian. I also remember reading ages ago that there were 7,000 Gransnetters.

I can't remember how I heard about gransnet. I knew about mumsnet because DD1 had mentioned it. Maybe it was via that.

There will be a lot more than 7000 members by now, glitabo. I'd guess at least double that by now.

If you ask HQ on "Site Stuff", they might tell you.

I heard about it on the radio.

I read about it in a newspaper

DD2 told me about; think she'd heard about it on Mumsnet.

Probably on Today, BBC4.

I can't remember where I heard about it.

I think I read about it in the papers and was intrigued to see what it was about! I am not disappointed.

I think I found it by accident whilst surfing when I first heard DD was pregnant.

NanaDB they probably can't get a word in edgeways over the rest of us "addicts" .

I read of the launch on my BT home page news. I had never joined anything on line before, but soon got hooked.

A small article in the Sunday Times - pointed out to me by the late Mr.G. I bet he regretted doing that - he used to come up behind me when I was on GN and say 'Hrrrmph, not on that granny net thing again?'
I think there are many more than 7000 - I think it was that amount a year ago so probably 2x or even 3x and yes, where are they all?

From Breakfast TV in May 2011 just after the launch (on 5 May). There were 7,000 Gransnetters according to GNHQ in the summer of 2011 and although some may have dropped out – it's difficult to tell with all the name changing that goes on – lots more will have joined.

I haven't changed my name yet!

Geraldine Gransnet says on the current thread Gransnet Census, that there are " many, many thousands of members".

Nor me MaggieP and I'm still absent.

I think I heard about Gransnet in the press, but can't really remember. Anyway, I thought it sounded like a good idea - didn't realise then how good it would turn out to be!
