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.

and the 100th answer too, I haven't had one of those before..that Jogger normally goes after them.

How about International Man of Mystery for your new username.

That way it won't be a mystery who you are.

Or....... are you The Banker?

[Tuvok]

... or The Stig?

Good luck Ed. I think you will find life a trifle dull after June 30th !

[pixie374]

New username, Edache?

[nailit]

Am I the only one who thinks that ED had an alternative nick on here anyway? You know, Buenchico, or some other prolific poster ;-)

[-Talbot-]

Am I the only one who hates these long goodbyes?

[nailit]

after 112 replies Talbot, guess so :-(

[Arksided]

All the best to in your new venture Ed.

[Tilly2]

Where does one move on to having been Ed of Answerbank? A bigger, more well known social media outlet?

[nailit]

perhaps he's bought an oatcake shop in Stoke Tills....

[Tilly2]

Oh, I hope so!

[nailit]

Might even be an up and coming whizkid in stoke and putting wrights pies on them???

[DTCwordfan]

Are you sure the truth is being told - the evidence....
