Goodbye, And Thanks For All The Fish!

[AB Editor]

Dear All,

After 8 or 9 years (I honestly can't remember) of looking after, moderating and editing The AnswerBank in some capacity, I am moving on to pastures new.

I've enjoyed watching the site change over the years, from the frankly wild and lawless place I inherited to the fairly well-rounded site we have now (with a lot of silliness in between).

It has been a pleasure serving the community and I look forward to seeing how it grows and changes in the future. My last day of tyranny will be Friday 30th June.

Naturally, we're not leaving you Edless. In fact, the current Spare Editor will be stepping up to fill in my role (but you know, better). She will be taking up the AB Editor account and using that as their main form of communication with you, our dear readers.

The new Ed has lots of exciting things planned, and I am looking forward to enjoying them as a member.

Yes, I'll be signing up as a regular after I leave so I can check in on the usual troublemakers :)

I am sure there's something I've missed, so please feel free to ask questions below.

School assembly?! oh my, that takes me back to when there was squeaky chalk not co-operating with the chalk-board

[Mamyalynne]

Oh I do Anne, often unintended but I do , today I posted a music vid on a News thread - should be locked up.

Alba, just saying squeaky chalk makes me wince.

[NoMercy]

I must have missed estoppelgate - can someone enlighten me?

[B00]

Awww, i'll miss ya Ed.

Good luck in your new job, and good luck to the new Ed when they start (May God have mercy on their soul!)

sssh NoM (hi btw x)
can't talk about banned or removed posts/threads

[melv16]

Estoppelgate was a mass suspension saga, some time ago.
Even the Empress gness was put on the naughty step for a week or so!

[jno]

surely that was all the fault of Russian hackers?

[tamborine]

Surely it can't hurt to tell us on what subject this banned thread was about?

[AB Editor]

I blame the Russians. They're always in a hurry.

B00 - thanks, they're made of tougher stuff than me - so she should be fine!

[albaqwerty]

thought it was the N. Koreans myself but am always happy to be proved wrong

[anotheoldgit]

Why Ed when clicking on a Latest Post, it sends one to the first page of a very long thread such as this?

Why can't it send one to the last post entered?

[AB Editor]

AOG, you'll have to ask the new Ed :)

[melv16]

AOG
Put estoppel in the search box and look at the eighth subject post.
