Who's still here, nearly 3 years on?

Just a thought: I've been here since May 2011 (as I mentioned before) but there is another Mollie (Mollie65) and sometimes we have different views but when replying to the other Mollie people shorten her name to Mollie - you can see the confusion, I hope? Can I just ask people to take care ... I'm not sure there are others with similar screen names with the same problem...

Does anyone know what happened to Nelliesmoluski? She lived in Norfolk. I used to enjoy her posts, and we planned to meet up sometime, but sadly it never happened.

I joined very early and am still posting regularly under the same name.

Have been here a long time too but really should change my name as I'm conscious that I've been 'outed'' in my family and it has put me off posting!
Felt really sad when we lost Carol as I loved reading about her walks and travels and found her quite inspirational.

mollie is right, as I have found to my embarrassed cost with her name. Perhaps GNHQ could sort new names more stringently?

I've been here since the beginning. I've never posted very much, and find it fascinating the way people come and go. I look in every couple of days - it's like catching up with old friends!

I agree with Ariadne Names that are very similar are most confusing, see my post ^^ Saturday @ 22.24. Although yogagran and yogagirl are not nearly as confusing as mollie and mollie65

I joined in 2011, not sure what month tho' I still catch up 3-4 times a week but don't post very much. Also miss Carol, here and on FB. Life is strange. I also have my original name .................

I joined right at the beginning and still have my original name. I must say that I sometimes lose track of who's who when names are changed although I guess that's the whole idea of a name change (for some) isn't it?

Although most usually give enough clues to be identified!

Yes, anno, 5 months since we lost greatnan/Carol is right - incisive comments, didn't suffer fools or hypocrites gladly but great sense of humour, also never afraid to say it like it is but a heart of gold when one was in distress or troubled.

Maybe it's just me Ana I am always a bit slow on the uptake. Although there are some that are very obvious.

I couldn't remember when I joined and on looking at my profile am amazed it was 2011 like a lot of others.i look at Gransnet most days even if I don't post a lot. It's been one of the things that has got me through this last dreadful year

(((hugs))) sewsilver

Had a shock one day when someone posted as Lizegee, even I got confused as to whom she was!

Aha ! (honestly I can be a bit slow on the uptake)

I have been around for quite a while too. Not sure when I joined first but it was near the beginning. I have also changed my name once as I let it slip what my name was. I did find out about GN when I was peeping in at Mumsnet. I have enjoyed the friendship, advice, humour, parties plus having someone to chat to, day or night. Long live Gransnet

I joined May 2011 and am still here! I still have the same name. Am I boring?

What?? Ana and gillybob - I don't know what you're talking about? Please explain?

Me too Marelli - it's like a gransnet code, you have to be around long enough to crack it!

I don't know who a certain blued name on this thread used to be.

I think Marelli must be joking...

Well I'm not.

Perhaps you were on one of your temporary voluntary absences at the time

I've never been on an absence, voluntary or otherwise,and I don't know what is going on either
