The Answerbank Turns 20 Years Old!

[AB Editor]

Hi all! As The AnswerBank was created in 2000, with the first question posted on 1st December 2000, we will be turning 20 years old later this year!

We think that's cause for celebration, and while we have some ideas already for how to mark the occasion, we'd love your input. Let us know in this thread if you have any ideas - they could be threads for trips down memory lane; competitions; interesting AnswerBank statistics you'd like to know about; the revival of favourite threads; games; scavenger hunts and more.

Let's commemorate our time spent together in this community!

Good idea.

I'm thrilled to see I haven't aged a bit ;-)

Congratulations on 20 years. Be 15 years on here for me this year, I seem to be a youngster to some :-)

Proof positive, I think!

How about some funny memories/spats on AB?

We're pleased to announce that we are embarking on a ten-part series celebrating The AnswerBank turning 20 years old in December!

This March The AnswerBank brings you the Birthday Celebration Jigsaw Puzzle which is now available.

I have been tempted enough by pasta's thread
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1699039.html
to suggest that a thread (or response) be named as that of the week/month.

Knowing how partisan some members are on AB I would suggest that the choice should be an editorial one, for you are the people to decide what compliments AB for the widest audience ;)

AB, our help in ages past, our hope in years to come.

As Pope of the First Church of Answerbank, I feel that this is the time for a church revival.
We have grown careless in worshipping thee. Many of thy faithful followers have departed.
Ab Editor , call thy children back!

Its been brilliant for me, so much helpful advice from other AB members on all sorts of topics. Thanks AB and everyone, here's to the next 20 years, cheers!

It would be appropriate to hold a Service in the First Church of Answerbank. All officers of the Church are invited to contribute.

When is the start of Answerbank's celebrations ?
