Poll: Do you miss the "old" ATOT?

[clicknext]

I don't think I've been here long enough. I first joined under another nickname around the time IGN went Insider.

 

[mrCide]

yeah.. you mean when there wasnt 10 YAGT's a day? or 'guess what--i got laid' etc.

yeah.

 

[LED]

I miss the GeoCities Format 😉

 

[Rage187]

or WTFBBQ nonsense

What happened to Jerboy? Why did he leave?

He was getting out of control and started attacking posters because he had sexuality issues as well as issues with street people, lightning, and just about everything else.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Ah yes, the mighty n00b infestation. I left the [ H ] when it started to flood, and when I realized that it sucked. I came here, and rejoiced at the off-topic-ness. Woot.

 

[Linux23]

🙁

 

[Brutuskend]

Do I count as being a old timer yet?

On ATOT that is, I KNOW I'm OLD! 😛

 

[jacob0401]

I lurked about half a year before i joined, but mostly in FS/FT. I didn't post much until i discovered ATOT...

I've noticed the crowd here seems to be getting younger and younger... and the topics, attitudes, opinions, and incredible overuse of "omgwtfbbg" etc. seems to be indicative of a declining.... can't come up with the right word here. But, I haven't been here as long as some of the rest of you.

These were the days I was thinking of when I read the title of this thread.

I agree. It's hard to imagine but I spent even MORE time on AT during those days.

*sheds a tear*

Indeed. Cheers. :beer:

DrPizza: The word is "old" as in we're getting old 😉

 

[Anubis]

yes

 

[alkemyst]

1999 was my join date...but my account got purged somehow. I posted a joke that was deemed way offcolor.

if you joined in 2002-> now you don't know the old ATOT

 

[Squisher]

I'm telling you people, it all started with the splitting off of P&N.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Everything is just in a slump, and a lot of the old timers are just that - old timers, with an air of pompousness and assholishness.

:thumbsup:

with Russ joinin' in.

yeah, Jorboy's weird obsession with lighting made for several interesting threads 😀
Texmaster's obsession with proving he had the best of everything, that was always funny.
What was the handle for the guy that got flamed to all hell when he scted like a douche in the "how much money do you make" thread?

You used to be a super-nef back in the day, now I don't see you posting as much any more (did that sound like a challenge? 😉 )

Heh....I remember Jerboy's obession with being a complete POS. His threads were fun for that reason.

 

[Anubis]

i really miss the babe weekley threads, the enjoyment i gout out of waiting for thoes to load on a modem was so great

I kinda remember those times, but all I did was lurk and read OT threads at that time 🙂
But yes, there has been a huuuge influx of n00bs and OMGWTFBBQ!-style threads in the last few months, sigh.

 

[kami]

Half the reason I only post here once every week or two now. The other half is lack of time. But yes the old ATOT was fun.

Cheers :beer:

 

[thomsbrain]

i was around for a couple years before my joined date would indicate, let's just say that. and i dunno, it's pretty much always been the same old, although there were a few "colorful" characters that i miss cause they spiced things up even if they were a-holes. 🙂

 

[Ketteringo]

I wish I had found ATOT earlier 🙁

Every now I then, I either see a thread or start one, and unless I see some "old" timers, it doesn't seem as much fun. 🙁

Am I alone in this "feeling" for the old days or not? 😕

yeah those old babe threads were awesome!

OT was sh!tty way before P&N came along.

As PC's became more and more inexpensive I think it was inevitable that the demographics are now younger . I miss the cowbell and good, original photochops, not the lame "pwned!!" pics.

I do miss the old days.
