Why was the original chatterbank

[legendis.god]

Why was the original chatterbank closed in 2005?



Opinions seem to vary

[legendis.god]

Ah interesting theories guys.

[on.knowledge]

someone posted a sensible question?

[B00]

It was inhabited by alot of troublemakers near it's end. Think the powers that be decided that it just wasn't worth keeping it open and closed it in December '05.

[davidicus]

The site became overrun with abusive anonymous folk and was no fun at all. Mind you it was certainly lively at times

[ummmm]

The arguments.

They were a lot worse than this chatterbank.

Wardy in his hayday :-)

[JimmyCooper]

Probably because it was full of to55ers like you bellend

Im in Los Christianos next month I'll pop in and say hello....

[B00]

I agree zak- lol.

Wardy in his heyday ummmm? Are you laying all the blame on Wardy then?

[legendis.god]

No zac but i ahve spent the last fortnight dep in the Answerbank vaultsand theere seems to be a contradiction between what some folk remember and others

The Ab ed gave a reason and it didnt include any so far expressed heer.
So im just wondering was it really as bad as we read about?
or is there a bit of drama being added ?

Just a thought.

[B00]

Well if the ed gave you the reason why it was closed down in the first place Legend- why the question?

You had the answer straight from the horses mouth, so anything us mere mortals say is neither here or there then really isn't it?

[legendis.god]

I have seen references to security issues , moderation and registering problems.

So was it really like the wild west?

Or was it all handbags at twenty paces and dont mess my hair or ill scratch your eyes out ya b*tch?

[B00]

It was pretty much like it is now (my opinion here of course). The majority of CBers then used it for what it was intended for- lighthearted waffling. However it was abused by perhaps a handful of folks who just seemed to like arguing, causing trouble and just generally opening their gobs and spouting crap because they hadn't posted anything for a nano-second.

[legendis.god]

Oh dear tangents again?

As i was saying i was lookin on cb .

I havent spoken to the ed neither did i say i had .
As i was saying ive seen reference to it and wondered if anyone had a valid and helpful piece of input.

Or not as the case may be?

Zac sorry no cigar : 0)

[legendis.god]

Im assumming these green imposters ive read about are the ancestors of todyas trolls as they rea called here today.

i prefer greenie imposters myself


So are any of these original greenie imposters still here in nayones opinion?

[B00]

The Ab ed gave a reason and it didnt include any so far expressed heer

[legendis.god]

" Well if the ed gave you the reason why it was closed down in the first place Legend- why the question? "

Factually incorrect.


Next point



Hi All,

Due to technical development all new activity in the ChatterBank will be suspended beginning tomorrow. Users will not be able to post in this category.

We hope to reintroduce the chat room at a later date, with improved security and registration procedures in place.

Reason given.
On 2 points not to me

Firstly as i wasnt a member of ab , nor online in any way.

secondly it wasnt adresssed to me but all , as i wasnt a member, i wasnt one of the all.

As that ed has left now i thought id ask those that may have been here then.


� DID THAT HELP ?

[legendis.god]

Hope that was clear enough ?
