Question To The Ab Editor

[sp1814]

Who are the longest serving member of AB?

Do you have stats on who has been here the longest?

In the old days, there was Oneyedvic, AOG and em10 - but who now should be awarded 'Distinguished Service' awards?

danny
we are short of a few then. 250 and 500 club. Never knew those existed. I think we are eligible for a few more quick on the draw as well.!!! :-)

Thanks Danny - well all I have are 2 year badges.

[SeaJayPea]

sp's post has inspired me to check. I've been a member since 28th March 2005.

There used to be a thriving discussion group on the sports pages. Then came Sports AB and so many of the regulars vanished.

Retro. I have my 250, 500 and 1000 badges

[MargoTester]

I'm waiting for 100, 250 and quick draw

Well you deserve a badge for being so advanced for your age. Some on this site still cry and grizzle. :-)

SP, I don't remember em10 being here in the old days. I can't remember when I first joined, but I know I changed my username in 2006.

[Baldric]

AB seem to not update badges nowadays
unless you're a Mod.

[marval]

I joined in June 2008, I must be meant to look after this place because I have a curator badge.

Naomi, was your original name a biblical one too? ;-))

[kayakamina]

I joined in 2003 but in those days you could be suspended
for answering too many questions!

I,along with Shaney, and a few others got fed up and Maizie
started up an alternative 'answer' site .

I was persuaded by AB that the policy had been changed & I
rejoined ( with a new pseudonym) in 2005.

[naomi24]

Cupid, I can't remember what my previous name was.

[Graudian]

I'd be interested to know the answer to the questions.

The only person I can think of who may be the longest serving
member is Quizmonster who was an important contributor to AB
until he fell out over his postings to the Listener Threads.
A pity as he was a true crossword genius - in the real sense.

I have been a 'worthy' member since February 2014 and have a 1yr Service Badge.

However, it appears that the system for issuing Badges is a complete failure. If it were working correctly I would have a Silver for my Internet researched Best Answers in the Technology section of AB. ☺☺☺

Hans.

I think it's Andy & Quizmonster who turned the lights on - and hope to be the ones to turn them off too :)

I'll have a look to see has the smallest user id...
