Me too, but I didn't create new account till years later and used a different name.

I remember all the old guys, ViperGTS, Skoorb, MadIndian, Hazeleyedgirl, Isla, RedDawn
 
17 years here. It doesn't really seem like yesterday. In fact, I can't remember yesterday.
 
I can't believe how long it was. Actually registered even before 1999, I think they either had a major forum overhaul or I lost my username and had to create a new one. Might have even had an altavista or netzero email then.
 
Perknose... If ya had to do it all over again would ya...?😀 (or could you remember it...?)

Me I too am getting close to 15...😱
 
Is my 9800 PRO still good? You guys recommended it highly ~12 years ago, tech is like wine and gets better over time right?
 
Been lurking the AT site since it's inception just for current computer building news. Wasn't aware of the forum till late '98/early '99 and began reading most of the postings. Saw the forum reboot happening and accounts closed, mine included.
Re-registering wasn't a top priority of mine since AT was just one of the tech websites I regularly visit amongst others. Then someone posted a question and I wanted to comment. The rest is history.

Only time and will tell how long this forums last with the new ownership. 15 years is just a blink in time.

we really should have a huge southwest, northwest, midwest, northeast, southeast meetup. I've been to a few for the car club and other forums I belong to and they are way smaller than AT but they have a bunch of functions and group meetings.

Pretty sure I got caught in the server wipe also, just one of many Ive endured.

In the old days I thought I was the old man here and some of you guys needed to grow up. Im still waiting. LOL, wouldnt have it any other way.
 
to all -- so, if this place ever goes under, do you continue participating in forums elsewhere or is this it for the foruming era and all chatter moves to places like facebook and such?

or

If this place sticks around for another 15 years, do you think you'll be here to reply in one of these posts in that time?
 
I don't think this place could go under, as long as moonbog and brainhulk continue posting every fucking thought that crosses their mind.
