Question so long and thanks for all the fish

That's what I thought, it wouldn't really make sense if classic avatars weren't allowed or were banned, etc.Now we can sleep more peacefully, but also have a few light beers.

Light beers? water?

I'm now registered over at FPSReview. Is that where we're collecting now?

Yeah, in case of any trouble or these forums suddenly being taken offline.

Can't trust whimsical corporate overlords.

@Schro I am registered fwiw

It's an option, and seems like a pretty good one. Better to have more choices than fewer.

 

[coercitiv]

I think the FPS forum is the best option, with one of the Discord servers as a backup (to get in touch with other members, maybe chat and misbehave, but not to continue there).

can someone give the link where are people hopping on?

forums.thefpsreview.com seems to be the current destination.

Liver says she's comfortable with light beer, but has no complaints about water at all. 😏

I've been following the discussions since the mid 2000's, obviously haven't posted much, but enjoy the banter. My morning routine used to be AnandTech, TechReport, Xbitlabs, and The Inquirer for the heck of it. Glad to see this continue elsewhere, should the bottom fall out. Not many places left with substantive discussion!

Fun fact, my username is the product of a morning of frustration: trying to find a Yahoo handle that was even remotely interesting for me... all were taken. Driven to despair, I asked myself what is the first word I could think that most humans would not pick for their user name. The physics course from the previous day came to mind - Coercivity

Ever since that day this handle has served me well, readily available in most if not all places on the internet.

-Yeah, I've been on the internet so long at this point that anytime I try to create GodisanAtheist somewhere and it tells me the name is taken, it's because I registered there once upon a time and then promptly forgot.

Also got run out of town in a few places because the mod was a "warrior of Christ" or some shit and took issue with the name for some reason.

Quite possibly, but make it 4. Back to lurking!

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Quite possibly

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power 'just cause some deity that doesn't believe itself threw a question at you!

On that topic: There was someone with a 1999 or 2000 join date that made their first post last year.

U sure he was not waiting for AT to shutdown?

- it tells me the name is taken, it's because I registered there once upon a time and then promptly forgot.

While my name isn't all that unique. I have been around a while. I too, sometimes go to register at a site to post and it tells me the username it taken. So I default to one of my alternate usernames. Then it tells me this username is used..... then I get the email reset link and login.

I've done that a few times over the years. lol

 

[NTMBK]

My username is pretty unique oddly enough, not had any issues signing up for it anywhere

 

[igor_kavinski]

NTMBK - Not Too Mad 'Bout Killin' ?

 

[511]

Mine not so much

 

[bba_tcg]

Mine's unique, I believe. Probably only one person here could guess what it means...

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Better business association the computer guy?

I have no idea...

 

[bba_tcg]

The last part's right. I actually told you what it was once. @DAPUNISHER

 

[bigboxes]

Mine's unique, too!

 

[LightningZ71]

Mine just seems to irritate USDM full size truck aficionados...
