This is not meant to be a thread where we attack or put somebody down!
This is meant to be a positive thread!
I have been on these forums since 2005,,,,I know not along time!
I am not one of them because its hard to grow up when your already grown up and almost aged...lolol
But in this brief time I have watch certain posters appear to grow up and change how they post on these forums!
All is good!!!
It is a good day for ATOT!!!

I remember when I joined ATOT- back in 1999 during the great Staples $50 off $50 printable coupon debacle. Bought a Microsoft cordless phone with it. It was badass! That whole situation made national news and caused companies to rethink the way coupons are distributed :D

I think the "Great Account Wipe" happened sometime around 2001 or so, so everyone's old accounts were deleted and recreated.

Joined 19 years ago at the age of 42, lurked like 2 years before that. I've seen everything.. it's not the same forum. Pictures of posters then and now, you've seen them age.

Too bad original thread was not archived...
Hitachi wounded monitor children - :p

I haven't changed a bit. Growing requires some introspection and I ain't having none of that.

I am gonna turn 40 in a month. I joined this forum when I was in school and defending amd (vs Intel), overclocking my voodoo 3 graphics card was the shit. Now i dont give a damn about the pc and on most days get by with the phone. Yep, things have changed

Did anyone else rear the post title "Did I have watched certain posters grow up in these forums!" as "Have I watched certain posters blow up in these forums!" ?

Hard to believe it's been near 20 yrs. I joined AT for Hot Deals and also kept up on hardware then for building and upgrading my game PC. Back then I just got married, got a new puppy, started new job, and spent lots of time surfing for deals and playing Action Quake and Counter Strike beta.

Fast forward now I have 3 teenage kids with the oldest to go to college next year. My dog passed away 3 years ago (RIP). I don't play video games or build PC anymore but my son is carrying on the torch building his first gaming rig last year and active in a CS:GO clan. Not a prolific poster here like some but I've gotten lots of advice here on kids, finance, career, home/auto repairs, where to get bulk beef online about the size of an alternator etc. Been thru many jobs and have moved different places but this place is the one constant.

Yeah, I signed up in '99, but at some point it changed to 2001. Actually, I’ve been here since the geocity days. Stopped posting over some 'subscription' bull and didn’t come back for quite a while. I haven’t grown up here, just aged :(
