Happy Birthday Gransnet 🥳

Crumbs - doesn't time fly!!

Its mostly been fun but with some sad losses along the way.

I joined during that summer, I was 65.

Gosh that time has flown! Remembering all the old names and some real characters.

Happy birthday Gransnet! Thank you for the good times.

Wow! Some of you have been here a long time! I guess it was thanks to your involvement that the GN actually got off the ground and became successful.

Has it changed much in that time?

I think we had fewer trolls back then and it didn't seem necessary to put 'light hearted' on a thread.

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I am a relative newbie found the site in May 9 years ago.

GN has definitely helped me over the years, through the COVID months (which felt like years)

I have also met GN members in real life, two who have become good pals, along with my bestie pen (email) friend.

I love GN and had no idea that 'we' shared the same birthday .

Happy Birthday GN I think on the whole a good addition to life and at times has proved helpful. I think I've been on here more or less since the inception. I was on MN when GN was being launched, I think it was suggested, there's a new site staring up for you old people, so hot foot over there for some of the older demographic on MN. I was only just the wrong side of mid 50s at the time, but thought maybe they mean the likes of me

I joined eleven years ago and have made some wonderful friendships on here, with people I have been privileged to meet in person, and those I have not but have immediately connected with. One of those I exchanged regular messages with, and did get to meet, sadly died last year and I miss her. We “had each other’s backs” when the going got tough both in virtual and in real life for such a long time.

Happy birthday, Gransnet. Long may it continue.

15 years?!! Where did that time go?

I didn't realise GN was so young when I joined. My first GD is almost 15 and I joined just before she was born

Think I joined in around 2011, happy birthday Gransnet

Absolutely 😂
I was here at the beginning. After reading some of the posts I didn’t think I would stay.
I’m sure most of the original members remember Jingles ( how could you not) I had an online run in with her in the first week.
