How long have you been on the site

[Oneeyedvic]

Whilst looking at my profile (as a member accused me of having more than one username), I looked at my very first post - and I can't believe that I will have been a member for 6 years in June!

I am asking the people who frequent news (as this is the predominate area that I post in), how long have you been a member?

oops - just read jackthehat's answer - premature (again!)

My gift to you SP is to not take any of your money this year :)

I bow to the 'tear up your password' line.

Inspired sir.

OEV - thank you for the cake - much appreciated.

As my learned friend Quizmonster (Good evening sir!) confirms, I am the oldest AB'er in terms of service.

I was in fact here before the Site went 'live' - recruited as a Writer and Moderator (we were called Channel Producers) and when our features were made redundent, i stayed around. Barring illness and holidays, i have visited almost every day from then until now.

I started in October 2000, and I plan to be the last one here to turn the light out!

Andy, I'm off to bed. can you put the cat out, please? cheers xx

[Quizmonster]

Andy - since no one has claimed to be between us in the time-scale - might I possibly be allowed to stand beside you, ready to hand over the ceremonial "Switching-off Rod", when the big day arrives? Cheers

around 2 years

[andy-hughes]

Consider it done sara - and can I have a 'night off' - I'm exhausted ... but smiling!

QM, I would consider it an honour for you to stand ready alongside me when the final day does come. I have always enjoyed the depthless knowledge of your posts, matched only by your courtesy and willingness to contribute. We shall wheel our bath chairs off into the distance, muttering about 'young people today' and watching the sunsets until we become carbon dust ...

[NoMercy]

You'll probably get a knighthood, Andy.

Andy, as you step outside just be careful that the nice Mr Titchmarsh hasn't dug a big hole for you to fall into ;o)

Actually OEV, I think AOG was suggesting you and Gromit were the same person, rather than you and me.

Not that it makes any difference, like.

For what it's worth, I don't care if someone posts under one name or 50 names. What difference does it make? I get into debates depending on what's been said rather than who's saying it. And if someone uses multiple 'character's to agree with themselves, it doesn't make their points any easier or harder to debate.

Happy AB-Birthday sp1814!

Oh, and Andy: Thanks for sorting out the lights, we always forget!

Nov 2005 is my first question/answer.

My first question was in Sept 2004 but i was lurking around before that! Didnt think that it had been that long, time flies eh!

[Oneeyedvic]

Sorry Quinlad - you are right, AOG did accuse me of being Gromit!

[anotheoldgit]

/// In fact it was myself and yourself that he was claiming were the same person.///

You are perfectly right Gromit it was you that I accused oneeyedvic of being one of the same, and then he accuses me and the Daily Mail of making false accusations.

/// You seem to imply that because i refuted your argument, I must be lying. Therefore I can only assume that you are a Nazi lover,///

How on earth did he come to this conclusion??????????????

/// I actually came to the site to ask a question regarding plumbing and electricity:/// ???????????

I think vic is getting so confused and flustered he don't know where he is, so I will leave him alone now, in case I also get accused of upsetting the inflicted.

AOG
