Remember That Aber

[Bazile]

Every now and then in related questions   I notice an aber which I didn't realise I haven't seen posting for donkeys and wonder what's happened .

Just saying 

Please don't mention banned/ suspended abers

Why not?

We've lost quite a few during my tenure, too numerous to mention, but all remembered fondly (even AOG although most of his posts drove me up the wall😁)

I miss a lot of ABers who have left us, some by choice, a few banned and many who have hopefully gone to their eternal better place.

I often read very old threads and feel cheered, or outraged 😂

some I remember fondly from the early days - redcrx and her sister, China Doll, ummmm, Answerprancer, jakethepeg, Clanad Quizmonster, woofgang. Not all old, but some probably have families to raise, and some may have just got tired of the shouting.

I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming 'round//

I used to chat to ummmm all the time outside of AB - we even  the same first name - and I was just stunned when she died as she was so young (only 40's). I knew she hasd health issues but just didn't see it coming when it did. We had many a fun chat : (

I have good reason to remember some of them, no longer with us for a whole range of reasons.  Some are still around on facebook, just gave up the battle here, others had more important things going on in their lives, some died,  some left under a cloud of course.  But that is life, nobody walks your path with you from A to Z, paths overlap, run side by side for a while.Enjoy them while you know them, you never know when is the last time.

Too many to mention, aside from those that have passed away, I shared banter with a few Ummm, B00, Bobbisox, Excelcior, TiggerBlue I contact sometimes on FB far too many off the top of my head but really don't know what happenend to them, fed up or what.
I are aware of some popular poster's that have passed away when I read old posts I rememeber them fondly.... Mostly.

Miss Nungate and Sqad

[Arksided]

Too many to mention that I miss but I were in contact with Cupid (Karen) for a long time (Years), I didn't pick up that she were that poorly.

I remember when I first joined and the Football section was thriving (Old, Old Format) so many on there full of banter... and merriment.

Unfortunately I do not remember any of these old characters as I wasn't around in their day but I have noticed that some of the people on here just do not acknowledge you when you try to join in conversations that they have initiated. You wonder what the point is of trying.

I miss Gness and Bobbisox - always up for a bit of craic/banter.

After nearly 20 years on this site, my list of people here could get rather lengthy, I feel!

However, off the top of my head . . . 

I miss Sherrardk (later Lewisk) and Mimifi for the wonderful descriptions they gave us of their familes.

I miss Mamyalynne for being one of the few people to recognise the quality of music that's not from the UK or the USA.

I miss Woodelf for his wonderful sense of humour (and for the literary masterpieces that he sent me within his emails).

I miss Waterboatman and Emmie for running the GMEB threads for many years.

I miss Clanad, as he was the first person to respond to my very first post on the site and he continued to contribute a great deal thereafter.

I miss Mrs Overall for her sense of fun.

I miss Gness for allowing me to flirt with her.

I miss Mikey4444 for comparing tips on the best value wines in Lidl.

I miss ChuckFickens for his technical expertise (and for his ability to take a joke).

I miss Jemisa for her extremely corny jokes.

Those are just a (very) few of the names which come to mind!

[Buenchico]

Take a look here for loads more names from the past!

Been quite a lot that have stopped posting this last year not the same place anymore sadly.

I remember many abers with great fondness especially those who were regulars in the Religion & Spiritualty section where I 'lived' in days gone by.  In between all the serious stuff when those towering intellects were at their very best, we had great fun - our raucous, booze-laden parties taking place aboard Noah's Ark - me in charge of the key to the wine cellar and George Clooney my preferred escort - not that he was ever an ABer - as far as I'm aware.  I read Chatterbank and sometimes contributed and vividly recall the wonderful Mrs O and her hilarious village tales - my part on one glorious occasion requiring me to bash our resident Jehovah's  Witness vigorously across the head with a copy of his religious magazine, The Watchtower.  Happy days.

[curlyfries81]

Sounds like there was more humour back then. It's seems far more serious around here now.
