A thread for people who have been on GN a long time

I was sorting a few papers out yesterday and a writing pad sheet fluttered to the floor and on it it said just ‘December 2013’
and underneath that was a list of names, that I soon realised were GN posters. It was probably not long after I had joined GN and maybe me trying to remember names but I thought some old timers may be interested to have a look and see who they recognise,
It might set some memories off

Morning
I don't often post but I've been on this site for a good few years.
I would like to know what happened to Gillybob? Beechnut and her nutellas Cornergran Sheep and Cattle the Oops family

So who remembers the Pantomime?

It is strange this thread should pop up as I was sorting out some recipes the other day and found a page I had printed off from GN entitled something from ‘nothing’ and there were names from the past there some of whom I recognised and some I did not.There were contributions from
Grannyknot( whom I’ve met)
FlicketyB
Phoenix
Penguin paperback
River walk
janeainsworth
Auntieflo (whom I met several times)

I met GrannyKnot too. We were both on holiday in Fuengirola.

*MawsRosie*,weren’t youGracesmum before that.

I was indeed but then Gracesgran appeared and that was confusing! #easilyconfused

MT62 Sun 12-Jul-26 11:02:33

I only recognise three names kitty, charleygirl & Iam64.

nightowl Sun 12-Jul-26 10:50:48

I remember that kitty and it was a lovely afternoon, I often think about it smile

MawsRosie,weren’t youGracesmum before that.

J52 Sun 12-Jul-26 10:49:26

Oh dear, my contributions at that time were so boring, I'm not memorable

Neither am I boheminan and I haven’t the excuse of a name change!😂

kittylester Sun 12-Jul-26 10:45:36

I remember you &Nightowl* - we met near East Mids Airport l.

BlueBelle Sun 12-Jul-26 10:43:05

MawsRosie it’s not meant to be a complete list it’s just an old sheet of paper I have found with those names on it means nothing I was probably just trying to remember who was who knowing my bad memory this was just me making a lighthearted thread

nightowl Sun 12-Jul-26 10:38:57

Don’t worry boheminan a few of us are unmemorable even without a name change wink
I’ve met some lovely people through this site, in all corners of the world. I made a very good friend and met up with her a few times but we sadly lost touch a couple of years ago. She isn’t on the list.
I like seeing the old names occasionally when a very old thread is opened up.

I was Kitty, I think my first user name was Soutra based on my home area.

That immediately stood out for me, because it's quite close to where I am.

boheminan Sun 12-Jul-26 10:21:51

Oh dear, my contributions at that time were so boring, I'm not memorablesad. However, I changed my name, so maybe that put others off my trail! Lots of blasts from the past in the list, leading to - 'I wonder where they are now?' Jinglebellrocks seems to have frequently changed her name as I think she was frequently sent away to the naughty step.

Hi fellow oldies.

I am still around, nana8 but i don't think BlueBelle was saying we weren't.

Greatnan was here when I first joined. Phoenix too from fairly early i think but maybe with a name change.

Maw would have been around too, I expect.

Good kitty thanks for letting me know !

I remember about a quarter of them. I actually thought Kittylester was still around.

Kitty is indeed!
I’m surprised JessM, Absent, Micelf, Jeni (surely she became Galen later ) Anagram, Glitabo, Geatnan, Juragran, Crimson, Speck4eyes and others that I remember from 16(?) years ago aren’t on that list!

Charleygirl5 Sun 12-Jul-26 10:04:47

I have met with a few but none of the names are mentioned here. I agree, I have received excellent advice which was the main reason I joined and stayed.

Gran22boys Sun 12-Jul-26 10:00:25

How amazing that many of you have met up. I haven’t been on here long but have found some excellent advice on here.

Cossy Sun 12-Jul-26 09:57:29

Or even a “long termer” grrrrrrr

Cossy Sun 12-Jul-26 09:56:58

How lovely for you long termers to have such lovely memories.

I cannot remember when I joined, but just know I’m neither a newbie nor a long termer but I do enjoy this site, have loved meeting you all “virtually” and will one day hope to be a “lint termer*

Bellasnana Sun 12-Jul-26 09:48:24

I recognise most of those names. Went on several lovely cruises with Galen. Sadly, her health and poor mobility have put an end to any more travels together, but we had some good times.

Mamie Sun 12-Jul-26 09:44:02

I have been here from the beginning. You missed out Elegran.
