Considering i've been lurking in ATOT for the last couple of years, since year 2000 at least, I agree somewhat that the number of intelligent topics and posts seems to have decreased.

But my poll was about "mean", and I don't think that has changed one bit..
People here hide behind anonymity and make really nasty remarks about other people that they wouldn't normally make in real life. Then again, its like that everywhere else...

Tho I'm afraid what would happen if ATOT should become a martha stewart haven....

A lot of posters are disconnected from real family (college students, single guys/girls) and being away from family leads to sad/unsure/bitter/confused times, and might be reflected in their posts.

Also, many people here are young, so immaturity in their post content is normal.

There must also be posters in here who are just pessimistic by nature and can?t help it. Some get their kicks by showing their superior geekiness in being knowledgeable early adopters and can?t understand why other morons like me are slow to adapt.

Some community members need to demonstrate more love, man

p.s. This is a great online community, jus a pain sometimes.. lol :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

get over it biotch... I tried to ignore your stupid ass... but obviously that didn't work. You're like herpes, just won't go away, I don't like responding to you because your ignorance is just overwhelming, I think it's the results of daddy's hitting a bit too hard on the back of your throat, and hit a nerve way back in the days. Now, please, I'm gonna politely ask you ignore my posts, as if I don't exist to you. I can even stand OIKOIS over your moronic ass.

I'm neither amused or flattered that you mentioned me, even though personal recognition should be welcomed, and I think you do think of me too much, may be in an unhealthy way (it's ok, your psychological damages will heal in time, and you too can and will have a normal life).

I'd rather have SackOfAllTrades on this board then your dumbass.

I'll say it again: ATOT is better than it was 2 years ago . . . now almost three years, I guess. I say that primarily because the favouritism that was so prevalent before is not as obvious. There's also less personalisation amongst the different echelons. However, currently ATOT is worse than it was last year. Last year was decent.

This year, it's close to 2 years ago, except at least you had intelligent and helpful subjects and posts two years ago. You could find discussions of religion, history, philosophy and mathematics and gain insights, whilst competing with the many neffing threads. Now, it seems people are in despair of having not much to discuss. Hence, you are more likely to find hostile individuals due to idleness.

luvly, for you information, you will not get away with this. It has to stop right there. Enjoy until your time is up.

Immature egomaniacs who have no self-control. And the people who try and police them.

Doesn't make for a good gathering, does it ? :D

ATOT rules because people post every 1.5 seconds. That is all.
