Hi there
I was wondering about the history of this site - how long it has been running etc but couldn't find any info. Can anyone fill me in !!!! Thanks T

No one answering you there ---- I think about 5 years???

Not a full answer, but have been regular since mid 2010. Others such as trevor were there already. This was pre login, so site tended to be a bit cluttered with trolls.

Thanks Mars10 and AB - As I said just wondering what brought these wonderful cryptic minds together. I don't know anyone who enjoys a cryptic clue - in fact, to use a Glaswegian term , I am slagged for it but I don't mind I'm used to it Thanks again

Hello again where it is very good as a forum
it is a much smaller community than the ANSWERBANK

Mars10 haven't visited the ANSWERBANK will check it out tomorrow but rightly or wrongly feel everyone on this site has been very tolerant of me To be honest I don't think I will ever crack the cryptic mind but hey I enjoy trying T

emrach, check out bigdave44.com . He has a good section about the different sorts of cryptic clues. I found it very helpful.

Hello again Emrach --I think you and me and the rest of us have a cryptic mind not always working as we would want it --

It happens to everybody. Other peoples crosswords are always easier than your own.
