I'm sure if they put all of us in the same room, there might be a few more dead ATOTers before the day was over.

That might be quite amusing

:evil:

 

[UsandThem]

I remember him............he was pretty entertaining until he got banned.

 

[aplefka]

That's pretty crazy. I wonder if this thread gets locked for talking about him? :Q

Anyways, sooner or later some of us will have to go somewhere better than here.

 

[Perknose]

Don't forget PCResources(sic)! He was a member of more than one single country's special forces, and died early on in Afghanistan. He even posted here after his death.

And what a guy he was! He built 8 way Athlon systems on hand macramed motherboards of his own brilliant design, and raced expensive cars (or was it spaceships). He did everything well . . . no, more than well, SUPER WELL!

Yup, prolly, but if we stop now, I think we can save this thread.

...and my sincerest apologies for bringing it up.

They quoted me :heart:

Soccerman's brother came on AT to give the bad news.

RIP.

 

[GoingUp]

Some ATOTers brother died. He was also a member. Soccerguy or something like that.

9/11 someone died. I remember a thread. RIP

I thought that was proved to be false?

It was HawkeyeNJ BTW.

What AT believes to have happened is that he had his startup page set to the forums with auto-login. I don't think anyone has disproven or proven his death. We can only wonder.

Yeah, I have AT forums on my links toolbar and I could easily see someone accidently clicking it. Thus showing me logged in since I never log out from here.

What does (sic) mean? I always see that and I'm like WTF?

 

[Triumph]

Undoubtedly there have been members who have died, but we'll never know. I can't see how anyone on here would find out if I kicked the bucket, cause it's not like I talk about AT to all of my family and friends.

Used in quotations to desginate an error that's supposed to be there.

Like this:

Now, ladies and gentlemen, important to understand, the president and his friends try to make a big deal out of it. Is it a problem? Yes, it's a problem. Do we need to fix it, particularly for OGBYNs (sic) and for brain surgeons and others? Yes.

or this famous one:

Originally posted by: George W. Bush
I hear there's rumors on the Internets (sic) that we're going to have a draft.

It shows that it's not a mistake during the transcription of the speech, or in this case debate.

Probably more than that, but.....

sic

\Sic\, adv. [L.] Thus.

Note: This word is sometimes inserted in a quotation [sic], to call attention to the fact that some remarkable or inaccurate expression, misspelling, or the like, is literally reproduced.

He means it was misspelled originally.

 

[FleshLight]

Nowheremom = died in car crash
HawkeyeNJ = supposedly died in 9/11
Syringer = [fill in the blank]

 

[Syringer]

Yeah I died once, it sucked.
