Dear AnswerBank Community,

I am writing to inform you that as of January 2022 I became the new owner of AnswerBank Ltd.

AnswerBank has been running since 2000 and at its peak, the website had over a million monthly visitors. To date, we have had more than 480,000 members join AnswerBank with a large community of active members still regularly posting on the site and engaging in the community.

Despite this positivity, in recent years, alongside the growth of other Social Media platforms and Search Engines, our active membership has been falling, and the platform requires significant updates and investment to ensure its continued operation.

In order to continue investing in the platform, my predecessors implemented Advertising on the site to ensure that the costs of running the platform were covered without asking members to contribute from their own pocket; this advertising revenue has been falling. I know that advertising isn’t popular and can be seen as intrusive, but without this vital advertising income AnswerBank is unable to fund its ongoing overheads. The development team and moderators here have donated their time to serve the community and I would like to express a special thank you to those individuals.

I know from the short time I have spent observing the community; AnswerBank is more than just a website; it’s a place where people share ideas and discuss topics with friends and peers. I know that life-long friendships have been forged on AnswerBank and many of our members rely on it.

It is, for this reason, I can confirm to the community that it is my intent to work with you all to grow and improve the platform, including investing in developing the site further, adding new functionality and improving the design, and exploring different monetisation models.

In carrying out the above I wish to work with the community, and we’ll be releasing further information in the coming weeks and months as to how we intend to do this.

For the time being, I would like to thank you for your support and express a heartfelt "hello, and nice to meet you" to the community.

M.

Royal Navy and Royal Marine PT Instructors are known as Club Swingers

Sailors could not use swords for PT due to the close proximity to each other and thus did their exercises with clubs
That's Yorick's skull Douglas. Not mine.
Wondering if it's April and not March then, Arky?
Is Stickybottle a non-deplume of Peter Pedant?
Both make about as much sense!
I'm not sure what planet I'm on anymore :-/ let alone the date.
Hello to you too.

I can only wish you well in your endeavors...
I really don't think it's fair that ABEd22 has given a BA to ABSpareEd.

It's smacks a bit of cronyism, I feel.
It not it's. ^
Sorry - I'm a bit late to the welcome party - but I'm delighted to be able to offer the NewEd my full support ...

Havnt even got the option to C&P that Tills...
It is indeed Gness, roaming the Milkyway.
Does that mean I can't give you another BA, Tilly, as we've been bird watching together? ;-)
Can anyone try to c&p Tills post at 19:39?
It wont let me do it.
I bid you welcome to AnswerBank. A new owner of a site that caters/ tolerates a rambunctious motley crew of kind hearted, helpful, argumentative, opinionated, souls deserves respect.
