[drestie]

I found this interesting...

http://www.answerbank.org/

[allotment10]

is this a new one then ?

[unruliejulie]

i found that about 10 mins ago drestie cause i couldnt get onto answerbank, this one i mean! lol the piccys are a bit cheesy arent they????

[ummmm]

Same as me

[allotment10]

i thought it was my computor, couldn't get AB for about half an hour earlier on, glad to know i wasn't the only one!
not only are the pics cheesy, try clicking on them, lol :-)

[drestie]

It's a beta version. It doesn't appear to be properly up and running yet.

I wonder if AB is changing to that format, or if someone else is using the same name. I assume it's copyrighted, but who knows.

[dot.hawkes]

is it US based then? If it is the US version of here it would be interesting to see how they cope with over zealous members. :((

[smudge]

I was locked out of of AB for a while earlier too!

As you say, you can't get past the first page on that link, so p'raps it is a new site in its infancy? If so, I wonder what this AB will think of them using the same name.

I'm going to email the Ed with that link & see what the response is - maybe it does have something to do with this one or Crystal Guides, although I can't see their name anywhere?

[DottyH]

still not back : ((( wonder if that site zaps people for clicking too many times on the submit button cos the site is so slow!!

[gen2]

It doesn't look like Crystal Guides did this

Boise Idaho, who else was from there, someone in a comedy show, was it Hawkeye pierce in M*a*s*H*? Or was in Klinger? Or radar, something is telling me it is from that show.

Thinking about it, this AnswerBank is www.theanswerbank.co.uk & the other one is www.answerbank.org., so it'll be interesting to see what happens if they aren't connected & when one or the other finds out.

P'raps 'big brother' is already looking into them having similar site names & that's why you can't get past the first page!

Crossed posts gen2 - interesting following it up though.....

[gen2]

I don't think it will be any competition. It only consists of one page and the graphic images you see which were all uploaded over a year ago on the 1st December 2005 at 2:15pm. Nothing has been done to it since. I'm surprised no ABer has stumbled across it before dr estie did. Maybe it took that server crach to drive us elsewhere looking for our fix.

[drestie]

It's funny - I wasn't even looking for AB - I was looking for those guys who were posting their AB wind-up threads on other sites. I couldn't remember what site they were on, so I googled answerbank, and this one came up...

[DottyH]

you mean the monkey one

[BBWCHATT]

gen2 - great detective work!!! Now can you find us the owner of this website and his/her contact information so we can all contact them? :)

[sense4all]

We all thought that Ed was enjoying herself. Maybe she is dressed in black, wearing camoflague foundation, sporting night vision goggles on a roof top in Idaho. lol.
Hope she remembered her slick-soled shoes and thermos!

[smudge]

Hi again - gen - that's what I meant by big brother looking into it! If it goes back that far, but nothing's happened with it since, p'raps it was nipped in the bud!

As BBW's said, very good detective work - be good if you find this AB's Ed. ;o}

[mycats]

[smudge]
