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.

[AB Editor]

You won't have to guess too hard I imagine Gness :)

Bazile, it might be my last one! Don't get any ideas, it's not a rolo.

[Lie-in King]

Pasta - he's treated with suspicion *now*... ;-)

[Bazile]

Ed - do you think the new ed designate , will be amenable to that promised user name amnesty and bring it to the front burner - can she be bribed ?

[AB Editor]

Pasta, I look forward to the suspicion!

I am sure you'll know it's me from the first post.

Baldric - Mamya regularly reminds me of, er, whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing. Like the Q&P thread!

[hc4361]

I'll be sorry to see you go - you've done a great job.

Thanks, Ed :)

Baldric

You know what thought did, don't you?

"it followed a dustcart and thought it was a wedding"

I'm not.x

[Baldric]

Right oh!

[AB Editor]

hc4361 - cheers. I'll be back.

[AB Editor]

But I just won't be very useful to anyone!

[Old_Geezer]

Good luck with your future endeavours.

Am sure some wag out there will come up with a cracker :-)

You'll need to tell Ann your birthday too.

There are rules on here y'know

[Mamyalynne]

I know women aren't said to be very good at time keeping but could Ed in Waiting sort the clock out please.

You won't be useful???..Sounds like a great leaving party they have planned......x
