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.

Bye bye, Ed. Good luck.

User name - Bummalo (it's a fish, honest)

[AB Editor]

chrissa1 - thanks, I'll need it!

[Khandro]

Good luck Ed in whatever it is you will be doing. What about a username with clue in it, like 'Edward'?

[Pete65]

Best wishes for the future, AB Editor, and thank you!

Cheers Margo, I think I would feel a bit of a pollock with that username?

[Patsy33]

Good luck in your next role Ed. Thank you for everything. We'll all be guessing who you could be next month now! :-)

[Helewel]

Bye and Good luck! Will you get a special badge for the most postings on a thread?

[AB Editor]

Patsy33 - thanks :)

[AB Editor]

Helewel - not unless I stitch it myself!

[albaqwerty]

am sure he still qualifies for 'staff perks' Hele :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Nice one LIK - (Ex)Ed should frame that.

[MargoTester]

Nice one Ed

[Baldric]

Oh come on Helewel, no one else gets Badges anymore, so why should ExEd?

I've just remembered, a Mod got one a while ago.

[gness]

Pike?...x

[Mamyalynne]

Oh, are badges being awarded again? - I never even look.

[AB Editor]

Missed a few:

Khandro - It certainly will! I'm not good at making up cyrptic clues!

Pete65 - Cheers!

DillaDev - Three cheers for the Spare Ed etc.
