Where is Anya

Didn't anyone miss me?!?

Nonnie You're obviously as invisible as I am My old name never cropped up on the 'Where's ..... gone?' thread!!! Very hurtful

But we did remember you at Staines.???

Greenfinch Thanks (For all the right reasons, I hope! No need to answer that!) x

I seem to have gone through life without leaving a mark on anyone's life except my family's so no surprise that no one on Gn is interested in whether I stay or go! I never did learn to put myself first and get lots of attention.

Oh dear Nonnie that was said with some feeling. Gransnet needs all of us with our differing approaches, keep posting I will read with interest.

That's not true Nonnie.I am sure you were a valued member if only we knew who you were???.I wasn't missed either when I changed my username.

Don’t worry I am invisible too.

Me too. Nobody has ever asked where I was when I have had a several-months-long break from posting, which I have done a few times when the political threads have been getting out of hand. I miss wilmaknickersfit, joannapiano, Marelli (who does sometimes still post) and Tegan2 as well as some others whose names have not come to the top of my head (IYSWIM) at the moment!

Weren't we told by GNHQ a while ago that our profiles needed to be reinstated if we wanted to make them public as part of the Data Protection thingy?

Nonnie I did miss you
I'm just not very good with names .....
and because some names are similar to others I get a bit mixed up

Ditto Jalima, I have no memory for names either. And then, just when I do get to know them, people go and change names and I can never figure out who they were before. But everyone else seems to cotton on. Please don’t change your names, it’s just too confusing for a bear of very little brain.

I only vaguely remember An(y)a being a relative newbie but I too was concerned when Missadventure stopped posting.I don't think she has a new name as I'm sure I would recognise her. She always made me smile.

What's happened to Radicalnan - loved her posts. Now she's disappeared.

Could we, have a Gransnet Reunited ?? Please, just could we?

For those of us who are very confused

Reading through these posts makes me realise just how many have either left or changed their names. I am also useless at spotting a name change so just assume they have left.

Such a shame. Gransnet is not what it used to be.

Anya and Ana were 2 different people - I think!!

I sent a pm to another GNer today and started a few sentences with 'And' which always makes me want to say 'Thank you, Ariadne!' as she gave us permission!!

Also Rosesarered has gone but Im.pretty sure she is posting under a different name and I think I know who!
Is Greyduster still around?
I thought you had to have a very good reason to change your name? Surprised there is so much of it!

Yes they were and there was also Aka .?

That was a reply to kitty

Greyduster is still posting quite regularly I think.

Rosesarered is still amongst us pollyperkins, but she's under a different colour these days

You can still post to the old name and it seems to send.Try it with the old name and ask what their new name is.

Thought so (re Roses)

I'm yet another invisible poster. Never mind, there's worse things happen at sea.

But I too do miss a lot of the old names, Anna and Anya particularly. GN isn't what it was. I think when people realised about the lack of privacy, understandably a lot left, or are now just reading/lurking.

I assume some of you have been told by pm of name changes? Or just guessed. Sometimes I'll search GN for info on a particular thing. I always get distracted seeing all the old names I'd forgotten, and wondering what they're doing now.
