While it may bother you that there are so many Pimple Farmers here whining about their relationships or their lack of relationships, at least this and the Hot Deals forum keeps the idiots out of the Tech/For Sale Forums for the most part. Do to that I feel that this forum serves a valuable purpose.

There still is a good community here. I talk to some users outside of ATOT via IM clients and of the people that i talk to, they're all pretty cool. I'd do business in AT's FS/T with most of the people i post with in ATOT.

On a separate note, what's with all the "Nik" bashing? If you have a personal problem with him, do it via PM or off the public forums. What are you guys, two years old?

Red Dawn always seems get it right. He's been here longer than most anybody. And there isn't a person he hasn't flame basted. I have to agree about this place being a Chat Room. Although, I spend a good amount of time in Motherboards and For Sale/Trade forums. I still come here to back my political ideals. There's enough flag-waving CNN-watchers yelling "terrorist" to anybody who disagrees with anything U.S. to keep a good thread going.

I see where your coming from, but I still stand by my points. Nik used to be a funny guy, until he got PMS or something. I'm not jealous of Nik in any fashion, I too used to be a crusty internet support tech who had to deal with inept management, retarded users, and bonehead co-workers, so i can see where some of his crankiness come from. If you think it's sounds childish to point it out, oh well.

I did use a bad analogy for Anand, but that was the first thing that popped to mind. Everyone taks about how they can't pull themselves away from OT, and how they have to take a 'sabbatical', because they can not figure out the meaning of moderation. That being said, I apologize to Anand if he happens to glance through here, but my comments stand.

I generally frequent OS, Networking, FS/FT, HD, and DC. I'm unsure how to find out where you post most often, not that it matters, short of asking the admins, but that really does not matter. I usually see you posting in Network and OS, and have gleaned a small bit of knowledge regarding *Nix OSes. I like to read most threads in OT, but I guess I hit a saturation limit of all the pimply schoolkid girl threads... c'est la vie..

thanks for the coherent rebuttal though, it's a rarity sometimes..

I'm such a pimple farmer. But I apprecaite the randomness the ATOT forum provides. Especially when I'm at work (when I maining frequent the site). For bad or for worse, I still find enjoyment in ATOT.

it would be nice to see the forums as a place people can go for help, advice (on tech issues... not your life stories)

tech issues? this is off topic, we have a technical support forum if you need help with tech issues.
