[pdust]

[erin-x]

I've been on here for 6 years!! Only properly since about 2010 though... I used to be too scared to contribute! ;)

Andy has been here continuously from the start and - as far as I know - I am the next-longest serving contributor still regularly participating.
Andy, for reasons I cannot now recall, had a name-problem and simply ended up by altering the original one slightly. I'm sure he'll be along soon to offer the full explanation.

[Ankou]

andy and qm were on ab when the cost to the tax payer of building the ark was at the highest level of debate.

[boxtops]

I'm new, I only joined in 2008

[Quizmonster]

Quite, Ankou, and - still on the biblical theme - we might claim to have been here when Pontius was a pilot.

I cant say it has been continuous though.

[Quizmonster]

"Get some in!" That used to be the cry in military circles, Ratter, when someone with less time served than oneself made a point about THEIR length of time in uniform

As QM advises, I had a brief gap when the gremlins messed up my original account, so i re-joined with a slightly altered name.

I am the elder statesman of the site, and very proud of it indeed.

I joined actually before the site was on-line, signed up as a writer to contribute the weekly featurews that were part of the original AB before it became a stand-alone Q & A site.

I enjoyed paid employment as a Channel Producer - love that term - but when that ceased, I stayed on and have been here every day since, excepting hoilidays and illness.

Many many peole have come and gone, but QM and I carry on and one of us will switch the lights off when the last day comes - hopefully not for a very very long time.
