ABers

[len_1]

how many ABers actually know other members personally?

[whiskeysheri]

I feel like I do, len. We've all gotten to know each other rather well on B&S in the last few days. I'm trying to arrange a AB Party for everyone! LOL x

[Zorr0]

Whiskey.

How many ABers do you trust them implicitly.

How many do you not trust.

im talking ballpark % here not names.

There are a number Ive encountered that seem keen on causing aggro...mainly in News, which I no longer go near.

Youve asked a lot of personal questions...gathering info...what are your conclusions.

[dot.hawkes]

I have spoken on the phone to FOUR abers, and i have resgular texts with 2 abers, i email several and msn with a dozen or so. My daughter is also an AbER.

[treacle84]

my mum is on here somewhere :)

[Zorr0]

Whats your mum called treacle

As sending private messages is verboten, the possible ways to contact other members is almost totally prevented. I know one member lives half a mile from me but presume unless you knew someone already it wouldn't be very easy to arrange.

I have on a similar site though where we all email each other.

[whiskeysheri]

Zorr0, to be honest everyone who has answered my Q's has seemed pretty genuine. I wouldn't say I trust everyone, but so far I haven't got any reason not to. Not encountered too many who want to cause aggro. I don't think they venture too far from Sport, but you've got me interested in what goes on over there now though. x

[Zorr0]

There are a few on Sport who are a tad abusive...most on there are good humoured.

I do not go anywhere News now

Both our daughters are AB members.

Hello Mummy smudge! X

[EllyD]

-It is lovely to hear from you Smudge. I do hope you are feeling better. I am a relative newcomer to AB but I don`t think I know anyone else round here that uses the site. I only chanced on it by accident but I am rapidly becoming addicted!

[funkymoped]

i dont know anyone on a one to one basis..

how would you make first contact with a person you have no link to ?

[robbo82]

I don't know any personally, but, like whiskey says, you do get to feel like you know people once you've been on here for a while. B&S and Sport are definitely the best for this I find.

David H, giving e-mails is now allowed on here, thus making it easier to contact fellow ABers..

[Zorr0]

you can give out your mail addresses now, and ive seen it done on a cupple of other threads.

But best to set up a hotmail a/c for that purpose so not as to get spam to your real email address. Then the other people can email that address and you can pick up their forwarding email address and reply. Bearing in mind how many people over the world cud see your email address given out on here.

I set up a hotmail address specifically to come on this site, so i dont get inundated with "you have an answer" emails cloggon up my real email.

[jno]

ZorrO you can switch off the I Have an Answer emails if you want.

[brawburd]

Have now met several members, as a result of an off-shoot site set up in couple of years ago, and count them as very good friends.

[LewTheBrain]

I dont know anybody ;-(

The original Billy-no-mates

[treacle84]

my mum won't tell me her name on here actually, she's a bit of a wild 1 and prob doesn't want me to know wat she's been up 2 ;-)

[rugeleyboy]

treacle, i could be you mom, obviously im'e not!!

i dont know anybody on here, also, nobody local to me knows i am on here!

hence,not answering whiskey's question the other day regarding my job, to much of a giveaway!!! sorry whisky?

[Gill 05]

I've spoke to dot on the phone as well as a few others and texted a few too :-)
