The Spare Ed - Warts and All

[AB Editor]

To help me out, and possibly have a bit of fun, I thought we could all have a go at designing me a Twitter profile image.

Phallic entries will be fed to the hamsters.

The judges will be completely biased and unfair - they are open to bribes.

All the best,

Spare Ed

I agree, this site needs sorting out, not twitter...

they'll all fall off eventually

[Legal--Eagle]

ummmmm why is baby peppie still posting anorexia and bulemia rubbish on here

some poor kid might actually believe that


and how come he zaps me in seconds and the abusers with stuff about cancer and folks kids are allowed to post throughout the day


is the editor actually krazyklown?

or is he condoning his abuse??

[DKnewsES]

Ummmm, the two you mention keep getting banned for their continual abuse of other members on AB.
Don't you read their posts?

[MissNoway.]

What DknewsEs said.
Now keep the off, spear Ed.

[MissNoway.]

[Aleggations]

Wasnt noway banned for abusing pastafreak?

wasnt swedeofool banned for his continual paedophile abuse on here?

yet the fools reamian?

wheres the eds head?

twitter eh ?

[AB Editor]

Robina, the site is being sorted out...or rather it is being replaced. We are taking part in a scrappage scheme and getting ourselves something a little more...swish.

Pasta, I wouldnt ask you to change your heartfelt opposition to Twitter.

DixieGal, I think you;ve misunderstood "public domain" my identity is not public domain! Images on wikipedia are though. Feel free to make me a wikipedia page and steal from that?

Cazzz, By spending time on here do you mean posting? Or playing around behind the scenes?


I would like to point out I am non-partisan!

[AB Editor]

Also, any pictures at all? I guess I will have to go with the one Legend sent me...

Spare Ed.

both Ed, Initially you did post regularly once a week for an informal Q&A, in more recent weeks you have started to do this again but unfortunately you did not turn up for last weeks despite promising to do so.

behind the scenes wise, it would be nice to see more moderating as regular numbers are falling in chatterbank which is by far the most populated topic area. Chatterbank is a nice place to be until it becomes a minefield of abuse which has become the more regular pattern..

Sort out your banning policy on here....


^ Ed... just in case you missed Pasta's earlier comment ;-)

[AB Editor]

I understand, we are worried about the smaller gatherings. Hopefully some will return soon.

We have a higher level of moderation kicking in from this week. It is not perfect but it is better (we hope!)

Last week was down to a few technical issues. I will attempt to put in more of an appearence!

Would there be a preference for weekly scheduled meetings or a few "drop-ins" like this?

[AB Editor]

Thanks Snags - I had already noted it.

[AB Editor]

Now, that isnt bad at all.

Is this your own work BigMamma?

I like the idea of a simple black and white image.

I do have all my hair though! The beard is a little bit like the Big Ed's.

[cazzz1975]

the scheduled chats were good because we would remember to log in at a certain time, unscheduled visits could lead to people missing out on pinning you down for an hour ;D

[AB Editor]

Sorry bigmamma, very close, but the expression on the face isn't one of confusion and profound saddness! The hair is nearly right. Bit more a flick and thicker.

OK, we'll do one friday at the normal time of 4.15. I may drop in bit more anyway. Do you think dropping in a night might be wise or shall I leave the zoo to the animals?

Any thoughts on this subject are welcome.
