Good idea. :beer:

Seconded! We need to perfect that little device that'll allow you to st@b ppl in the face over the net. The membership here would plummet 90% the first week alone.

Oh, and ban the e-thugs.

My point was that the good isn't here anymore... it's all bad. Back then, taking the good with the bad wasn't so hard because there actually WERE a majority of threads worth a damn.

Actually, not nearly as much as I used to. I lurk most of the time. Just because I think the place isn't as good as it used to be doesn't mean that I don't have a right to say it --nor does it mean that I am required to leave.

I never said you had to leave, but if it "sucks" so much, why bother even lurking? I'm sure there's plenty of other forums out there that live up to your exacting standards. ATOT doesn't exactly stimulate ME intellectually most of the time, but I find it entertaining.

Hey, I resemble that remark!
No, you resemble someone without a high school education. You mean you resent that remark.

You resemble someone who just saw an old joke go flying way over his head. :p

i agree.

you see how this makes no sense without a quote button?

people just need to learn to edit their quotes.

Custom avatars (within limits), and temp ban repost nazis.

Honestly, it wasts so much less bandwidth and time to see something, realize you've seen it before, and click "back", than the amounts wasted by posting 500 posts from 500 different people, all who feel the need to say that they've seen it before.

Some people haven't seen everything, it's not a repost to everyone.

Allow restricted posting for anyone under the age of 25. That means no homework threads, no YAGTs, no college roommate threads, no my professor sucks threads, etc, etc, etc.

Works sort of like car insurance - once you prove your posting abilities then the restrictions are lifted. Of course, once you hit 25 you won't want to post any threads like those listed above anyways. It's a win/win scenario.


Also, ban anyone who doesn't properly use loose and lose.


Oh, one more - ban parody threads!

Fill me in, is this commonly known or is it a nerd joke specific to AT?

The easiest way to prevent this is to not be a total douchebag.

So, you want to keep all the nefs, basically? I've been here far longer than most. Hell, I was here before the fusetalk switch. I just don't feel the need to post as often.

What I'd like to see is far fewer people living out their fantasy lives and more people that keep it real.

Thanks for coming to my defense Encryptic. I thought I was going to have to push that "member dies" button and delete him. Now, after reading his next post, it's time to ......
