There's also one near Topanga State Park

The Flying Pig of Topanga

Along the twists and turns of Topanga Canyon Boulevard, you’ll find the Flying Pig of Topanga — a winged pig taking flight.

Depends on what "a" is referring to!

wait a second, theflyingpig's profile used to be available but it isn't now!

did the mods hide his freaking profile? it was a treasure trove.

cmon, it's been 10 years.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I noticed that too, it's not available anymore.

Did it get deleted?

That means he can just sign back up with the same name and avatar.

Dang. Remember back when evenings on ATOT were overflowing with new posts? You'd post something & it'd be on page 3 in minutes haha.

I also remember walking to Blockbuster to rent movies, and AOL was king.

Nowadays, you'd be lucky to get 3 new threads a week

When was the last time you saw his profile as available?

He could have logged in since then and set his acct to unviewable.

Or Could it be switching to new forum software a few years ago?
(I can't view Mosh's profile either)

tbh I miss Blockbuster. Now we just watch a minute or two of a bunch of shows on streaming channels for half an hour & then go to sleep lol.

I'm speaking here as a poster, shiny badge aside:

No, asshole, "the mods" didn't and haven't hidden any poster's profile, ever. You do realize that impugning the integrity of the mods is an infractable offense, for reasons that apparently escape your simian excuse for a brain.

Speaking now as a mod, I don't wish to add any points to, ummm, your profile, since I believe you to be more feckless than ill meaning.

And, since it seems necessary, asshole, DON'T REPLY TO THIS POST IN ANY FORM WHATSOEVER OR YOU WILL BE INFRACTED.

Thread locked to protect the ignorant from themselves.
