I know one or two of you were quite friendly with Anya but I can't seem to send a PM to her. If you could ask her if I could have her email address and then let me have it, I would be most grateful. We both have grandsons of the same age , the same name and with the same problem and I just wanted to hear about how hers was getting on. Thanks if you can help

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.

Nonnie Mon 02-Jul-18 13:27:35

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.

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

Greenfinch Mon 02-Jul-18 11:46:37

But we did remember you at Staines.???

Squiffy Mon 02-Jul-18 11:34:13

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

Nonnie Mon 02-Jul-18 09:44:09

Didn't anyone miss me?!? grin

Is there a private site somewhere which people can invite others to join? We all need to rant occasionally but, like when you speak to a sympathetic stranger on a train or flight, you don't need to meet again unless you choose to.

There was a thread recently where it became obvious from the start that the OP was known to some and not to others so obviously a name change.

I find this off putting but I suppose it's bound to happen.

A few months back many of us expressed our unhappiness about threads appearing on FB and other media. We were more or less told that we're warned about this possibility when we join so nothing can be done to stop 'outsiders' lifting discussions when they choose.

Sadly at that time many GNetters closed down their profiles (which is why so few names now appear in blue). Many changed their usernames and many left altogether.
There was also some real unpleasantness with accusations of bullying and forming cliques.

I'm afraid we just have to accept that GN has changed significantly.

There are several posters I miss and I agree that it would be good to know if they're still around and how they are.

Which threads were printed? Have I been in print and not known I was famous?!

Greenfinch Mon 02-Jul-18 06:41:21

Or as my DH calls it:The Daily Wail.

BlueBelle Mon 02-Jul-18 06:26:05

Yes I m with you there Jenpax the dreaded Daily Fail

jenpax Mon 02-Jul-18 06:22:38

I hadn’t realised any threads were posted in the DM? I don’t know whether I am more annoyed about them being published per se or that it was DM my most hated piece of privy paper ever??

BlueBelle Sun 01-Jul-18 21:08:20

Ummm now that’s good for thought

Chewbacca Sun 01-Jul-18 20:53:13

Very enigmatic! grin

Iam64 Sun 01-Jul-18 20:50:02

yes indeed annodomini

annodomini Sun 01-Jul-18 20:47:27

It's possible that some of the 'disappeared' may be still among us with new identities.

merlotgran Sun 01-Jul-18 20:39:00

I think some were concerned about the facebook connection as well.

Iam64 Sun 01-Jul-18 20:33:29

As well as the little difficulties on the political threads, there was the little difficulty of threads being published in the DM. Some posters were unhappy about that, especially by the reminder this is a public site.

BlueBelle Sun 01-Jul-18 20:12:51

I think quite a few disappeared after a political thread got a bit heated I don’t really know as I wasn’t on the thread others may know more
Yes Missadventure had been through some difficult times but stuck with it I do hope she’s still here under another name I quess we ll never know

Greenfinch Sun 01-Jul-18 20:04:06

OK NanKate I had a feeling it might be you who had mentioned it on here.That settles it.I will just let it go.???

NanKate Sun 01-Jul-18 19:57:47

I emailed Anya about a year ago and I got a quick reply just saying that for the time being she was taking a break from GN. I got the definite impression she wanted to be left in peace so that is what I have done.

Greenfinch Sun 01-Jul-18 19:55:58

I am sure there was someone on here a few months ago who had been able to contact Anya and said she was taking a break from GN. I was hoping someone might have her personal email that they could PM me with if they got her permission.

kittylester Sun 01-Jul-18 19:48:39

Anyone know why?

annsixty Sun 01-Jul-18 19:38:46

Basically it means she has left GN.
I miss her and Misadventure who also suffered a bereavement and Printmiss who always wished us White Rabbits for the first of the month and Imperfect and many others too numerous to mention, oh just remembered wilmaknickersfit.Many others but mind gone blank.
