People who don't want to sound like an idiot.

A-TOT to me just seems like a more efficient way of saying it; that's how I "say" it to myself when I think it. However, it's also not an abbreviation that I use often.

A-T-O-T. not like I would say LMAO like "lm-ao"... in any case it's not something you would say.

I would SAY "Off Topic" but I would type ATOT.

At - ought, but that's in my head. If I say it out loud I say "Anandtech".

all you A-TOTs are fvcking stupid. AnandTech Off Topic = A-T-O-T. if you grouped it the way it looks it would be AT-O-T which /= A-TOT. A-T-O-T sounds and looks better.

...by stupid people!

:D

Obviously, cause they were all A-TOTer's! Or A-T-O-Ter's? Or...

Ah well, says a lot for us when we can't even agree on what to call ourselves.

For the record, my vote is for A-TOT.

why does NY get to decide for all of us?

Also, why not ATO-T

Yeup, great way to make your point there, because obviously one is much more logical than the other.

A-TOT flows better and requires less effort to say than A-T-O-T, which is why I use it. But as another poster said, that's only in my head; if I'm ever actually talking about Anandtech anywhere, I'll either just say, "I read in an online forum" or "at Anandtech..."

HowTF is A-T-O-T winning? Even when I was a n00b and didn't know what the hell ATOT "meant" I thought it out as being A-TOT. This poll is garbage I tell ya!
