I thought Jerkboy was before Dennifloss. Excuse if I sound to noobish.

jerkboy was WAAAYYYY after dennilfloss. dennilfloss was given a permanent ban BEFORE I joined AT Forums.

No he wasn't.

I joined after you, and I remember the whole thing. I also remember posting in some of the same threads as him quite awhile before it all came down.

I actually remember nef being banned and thus forever being immortalized in ATOT.
Tho I dont think that word is used outside of ATOT very much.

And all those names being mentioned, man, all those memories of me sitting in my college aptmt surfing ATOT.

shit, was 1998 really so long ago? Sigh.

and i remember paulson had his paulsonator site and how he got banned several times then.

I didn't even realise Jerboy had been banned until this thread. It just suddenly dawned on me that "hey! yeah, whatever happened to that Jerboy guy, he used to nef here so much..."

hehe, guess I lurk more than i post.

Wow AT was originally UBB also?!?!?!!??!!!?
I only say also because the original Maximum PC magazine forums were UBB back in 1998, and that's where I started my internet forum career haha. Sadly I never posted on the original boot forums although I did read the mag.

I guess back then UBB was the only decent board solution heh.

Haha actually when Maximum PC migrated over to delphi forums-actually, I don't think it was delphi forums back then...but a series of weird acquisitions and whatnot has pretty much left it Delphi Forums today, half the board refused to use the new interface and fled to their own forum. Of which I was a part of(dualboot.net) until I was banned. Heh. I think I had some problems with the founder of dualboot being a giant pr1ck to me, and that was that. I then went over to the Delphi/whateveritwascalledbackthen board and dealt with the cruddy board system.

I think fusetalk is actually better than the Delphi setup though, although I guess we'll always miss the good old UBB setups. Ah, UBB, I'll miss ya!

Paulson was banned and unbanned about 5 times before a lot of these people were around. :)

Seems like time to bring up Thunderbooty!
