Discussion»Questions»answerMug Members» Which member of Answermug have you known the longest? Not who do you know the most about or are the closest to, the longest amount of time.
Maybe on EP? I wasn't on Ask.com. I was briefly on some other site after EP shut down, but I can't even remember what it was called. The messaging system was garbage and the rules/censorship were off the chart.
That's so kind of you to say! I am always happy to see your cheerful self here, too! :)
Sharonna and Nunya ....really most of the ones who came here from Answerbag. Ten years.

I think I was very clear. You were not. You think you have this definition of me. Trump hater. No. GOP LOATHER is more like it. Disgusted by Dems and loathing of GOP and horrified and disgusted by this thing in office that does not disgust you. That really disgusts me most of all.
Hey that rhymes so I thought it only fitting to reply in rhyme.
Roses are red and violets blue but who has the control of Trump not being elected is the voting and dedicated people like you. Cheers!

I started to answer this last night but Don needed chicken noodle soup. However, it is morning and he is feeling a bit better. Good Morning~ I was turned on to AnswerMug by a dear friend of mine from Ask.com. He went by many names but I think he carried Dodgy over here. Ask.com was the first Q & A site I was ever on. There was speculation as to why it shut down its Q & A section but it did. I think because it became too cliquey and was getting away from the Stick-to-the-question-and-don't-show-any-personality sort of site they were aiming for. *Please note that is ONLY my opinion and theory. That is NOT fact as we know facts to be.* Being loyal to my friends and not knowing much about Q & A sites (some things still haven't changed:)) I followed his lead here. Happily, I found many of my other friends from Ask had come here too! Jaimie, Tom Jackson, Walt Oregon, I believe Stu Be, even Just Asking showed up on Ask.com a couple of times. I think we became friends there, too! But the longest stay-true friend I have known and continue to know (with the same name) is Jaimie. A true friend with a zest for life. We've always clicked and have great times together, no matter where we land. :) :)
I was known as MerlinNme on Ask.com and MerlinNMe2 there, too. Dodgy shortened it to Merlin and I kept the nickname. Here, Baba was the first person who I felt bonded to. He/she was profound, answered me back and I loved the avatar. Rosie and Daydreamer were others who answered me in my first days here. Positive reinforcement is always needed when it comes to having new friends. JA, of course, could not have been more inviting and nice and Randy D, too. I took a liking to Randy D through adultmug. Element and Carbon with their quick humor was always entertaining. I've grown very fond of Element for all the elements that make him. He is a definite asset. Adultmug was another reason I was attracted to the people here. I find AnswerMug has a bit of sugar and bit of adult spice. It is a nice combination. That means ALL the people here make it a great place to land. Thanks Dodgy, wherever you may be. :) :)
P.S. OH! I almost forgot!! Stinky and Stinky Jr. Stinky Spunky? The skunk person is hilarious and smart and I've known them a long time. The incredibly profound and smart women who has an American flag behind her. I'm at a loss of names at the moment but she is REALLY cool and I like her and have known her a long time, too. I have tons of respect for her. Ugh. I'm sorry I can't pull their names up but hopefully you know who I am talking about! :) :)

I think it did go down because it became More of a social site than an information site. And yeah it was clicky, but it had thousands of members so of course gonna form some clicks :) last I heard Didge had moved to Quara from here :)
Randy D is the first one I met who is currently active here. He says it was 2009, but I really feel like it was a year or two after. :/ He was one of the very first people I started talking to when I joined Answerbag.
There are a couple more people who I think are still members here, but have gone dormant- Araya and XT. I met them at roughly the same time I met Randy D. And, I feel like Amber was one of the early ones too, as was Element. But, we're talking meeting them all within my first week there, so it's really hard to nail down the exact timeline. Randy D was definitely the first one who is active here now though.
And, once we get past the first few days on Answerbag, there's a deluge of people. I don't want to leave anyone out because I've literally "known" or at least interacted with many of these people for close to a decade. If I compiled a list of people I've known since AB who are here now, I'd probably list 30+ people. Maybe more. It's crazy to think about it because I didn't realize I'd known them all for so long.
