Where have they all gone?

There used to be a poster who had several incarnations over the years but I think her last one was Jura? She lived in Switzerland and kept a house here too I think. I've not seen her post for a very long time but maybe she just changed her name and is still, posting.

I used to enjoy Anya and Ana’s input, even when I didn’t always agree...they were good fun.

^If Gabrielle is an example of the good old days, you’re welcome to her^

But for all her faults, she would never have made a comment like that about anyone.

Yes, says it all doesn’t it?

I wonder if Mabon is back under another name,, a comment on another thread by another poster sounded like just the comment Mabon would have made , nasty and not at all helpful.

I e only been on here for the last year and love to see and hear about others lives.

How long has Gransnet been going?

I recognised a few more names, include my own.

The reading group threads always got people posting who didn’t normally, because they’d won the book. It was always good to see unfamiliar names, and I think we’ve probably lost members now that GN have dropped the reading group. HQ said they had a different format in mind, but nothing seems to have come of it.

*NanKate*, I think I posted on another thread, with book recommendations for someone's relative.
The latest JoJo Moyes book that I thoroughly enjoyed was
'The Giver of Stars'. Give it a go I think you will like it.

Suziewoozie, a question, why can't we have , as you put it, The Good Old Days?
I have hated all the recent nastiness, and it made me back right off GN.

If Gabrielle is an example of the good old days, you’re welcome to her. I particularly remember her cruel vicious threads making fun and jeering at women because of their looks/weight.

Don't post often but enjoy reading good morning thread. And do miss poster's such as Gabrielle, doramarr and of course Gilly.

Thanks for the book recommendation Shysal.

Hello Greenfinch and Shysal I meant to include all the folks I know, but just flicked through that old thread a bit quickly. I see you both posting from time to time ???

I'm a relative newbie. 2 or 3 years ago I accidentally came across GN and got hooked. It is addictive and is something you need at times more than others or have spare time for.
Giving out advice and opinions can be hard work.
Maybe these missing folk have found a rival message board!!

Sorry, I meant Me Before You is good. After You is the sequel and not so good.

I have been here from the beginning NanKate. I still read most threads every day, but don't post very often. I have enjoyed some of Jojo Moyes' books. 'After You' is lovely, as is the film.

Here we go again..... the good old days.

I wonder where Grandad1943 got to?

I didn’t always see eye to eye with him but respected his input on unions, socialism etc he usually made for good reading!

I miss Gabriella too. However, she did go too far on occasions, but she was never boring.
I suspect, we won't see her back.

I miss Gabriella54. Her posts were always interesting and to the point. I wish she would come back or was she banned from Gransnet ?

Me too.

I miss the 'characters' that used to make GN tick.

They tend to get seen off by some wannabee incumbents of a forceful nature.

Shame.

I just looked and recognise a few names on there who are still posting which is good.
Of course, they were the posters who were lucky enough to receive a copy of the book as not everyone does. It's a lottery.

I' m there NanKate

Yes, possibly new user names or just gone to pastures new?
I do miss some posters though.☹️

Perhaps, NanKate they might still be gere, but under different user names?
