AB/SAB???
86 Answers
Ok, so I never thought I'd ask this... but...
As a long-standing member of AB, I've recently been drawn to SAB. I feel like a bit of a traitor for this, but it is a tad more entertaining.
I guess it's drawing out the old flip/pinki, where I liked to argue, but I'm trying my best not to get drawn into it.... though it's hard. Really hard.
AB is a better site, by far. It's more "swish" and "with it". I like the ad's, which i regularly click on, and I also really, really like the ed... who is an absolute doll.
I'm torn....
Do you have the same problems? :-)

Well, in some ways, it's the same place really. It's run by the same company, with (as far as I'm aware) the same Editor and with common membership (i.e. you can use your AB login details on SAB).
However I'm surprised that SAB still exists. At one time clicking on 'Sport', here on AB, automatically took you into SAB but the Editor decided that having 'Sport' simply as a subsection of AB was a better idea.
That leaves SAB as a 'rogue element' of AB, because it's largely unmoderated. (i.e. the Ed can still deal with problems but AB's moderators, like me, don't have the ability to suspend or ban people on SAB).
I'm kept busy enough (answering questions and occasionally 'zapping' people) here, without wanting to get involved in SAB!

If you are genuinely interested in the ongoing rantings and ravings of people who have been banned (with good reason) from AB, then SAB is definitely the place for you. If you like to keep up with the latest incarnation on AB of docspock, knobby, legend etc, then SAB is definitely the place for you. But be quick, though - they get banned quickly enough!
Quote from Ab Editor
No idea why it's open again to be honest. Anyway, if any questions spill on to AB about SAB could you mention that we're absolutely nothing to do with it? I can't catch all the questions when it happens.
