I suppose it's inevitable that some of the original Gransnetters will have fallen away, but who is still here, that joined within the first few months? I joined a couple of months in (changing my name once).
I find I don't post as much now, though, and when I think of it, neither do many of the 'originals', though they do pop up sometimes, so they haven't left altogether. Of course, it's very possible that some of the 'originals' have changed their names and are still posting away merrily - though we can't include jingl in this of course 
)!
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 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!
Maybe it's just me Ana I am always a bit slow on the uptake. Although there are some that are very obvious.
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
What?? Ana and gillybob - I don't know what you're talking about? 
Please explain?
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
