CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
mines is just a simple portmanteau of my names (and a subtle nod to the simpsons) Comes from not being able to get my name as a gmail address until I shortened Stephen to Step. (which itself comes from the terrible pretension of not liking my name being shortened to Steve.)
Basically it's like an onion.
"Basically it's like an onion."
That's been said about Edinburgh - layers of people who interact with each other more than other groups.
I'm sure It's the same with people/societies everywhere.
But some people think it's more acute here - stratas, vested interests etc.
Sites ask for usernames, therefore a username was chosen, settling on this one fairly early (originally on h2g2, back last century). It just seemed to be the way things were done, but also protected people with vaguely rare surnames from being too easily-identified and/or provides that vital 'posted under the pseudonym' de-identifier in case I ever want to vaguely grumble about people or work, just to keep such things a fair few clicks away from my real name should I ever be Googled by a potential future employer.
I know wingpig because we both use a consistent username on here and Flickr and blipfoto.
Don't think we've ever 'met'!
