The "Golden Age" of ATOT

[DAPUNISHER]

Hot deals nearly made me go bankrupt saving money too.

ROFLYES! I bought stuff I had zero use for, just because it was a killer deal. Hard to sell it here, because everyone knew what you paid I was not willing to ebay back then either.

I think a lot of the threads worth reading were real people in real scenarios. A lot of the threads are content taken from another place.

I am not so certain about the real scenarios part, in some cases. But, at least they were highly entertaining and creative. Creativity being the operative word here.

oh I know, I was mooching off Yoyo big time.

Never again am I going to play one of those games... NEVER!

Good times, good times. I lurked for a few years before I finally joined.

Maybe history will repeat itself, maybe not. Here's hoping: :beer;

It's still funny! I'd forgotten about "Children of the Corn."

There was a certain person (who shall remain nameless) who exploited a vulnerability in the boards and took complete control. He unbanned and banned a few people before the mess got all sorted out.

I still have screenshots of his monologue from that day.

one of the greatest golden ages IMHO was ATOT's complete domination of Ikariam.

Twas quite awesome.

Conquered Theta.

Some of us are still there, in some fashion. I'm only kind of "there", in that I don't really actively do a whole lot anymore. I'll mainly gold farm, then when a war comes, build up a reasonably epic navy and jump to the top 10 Generals Score on the server, do some damage, and then go back to gold farming.

M4H just merged with Valorian Mercenaries, now the #1 alliance on Theta. Some of the haters over in Wrath are begging to have their towns looted, so we shall oblige.

Oh I've made the comment observation many times... when they relxaed the rules is when the downhill momentum gained serious speed. I still love my AT, but I started here because it was the one, fairly civilized place on the web (still is by many standards I guess).

what are you talking about, atot was most lively when there were few rules, let alone about "babe threads". it got murdered when the mods decided that they needed atot to be presentable to anands mother or something. and its never been the same since. its a lesson, with a certain amount of chaos comes creativity and life. which is why 4chan is a meme generator, and atot is now pretty much irrelevant on the web and is pretty dead a lot of the time now.

1998. Oh wait, most of you guys weren't around this place then

What I think ATOT misses most is the YAGT threads, which are now in the L&R Forums that most of us don't visit.

And there have been some true gems there recently.
To be honest ... some of the best (humor) threads were YAGT threads.
Geeks and girls are just an irresistible force of comedy.

The golden age was before fusetalk.

/thread
//possible exception up to about mid 2002.

 

[shortylickens]

This place peaked with the Night of a Thousand Nefs.

 

[ultimatebob]

I think that it was the Nowheremom era... Which would be 2000 through early 2001.

And, YES, I had another account back then.

always good times but some were better than others

i nominate 00-03ish though

 

[coolVariable]

Oh - I just remembered the spider thread:
So it's 2:30 a.m...and a girl who lives 3 floors below me

 

[meltdown75]

nothin better than the good old "remember the times?" forum post. classic. :thumbsup:

 

[JEDI]

I am feeling nostalgic for back when I first ventured in here. A time when there were already so many ATOT memes, I had to either search, or wait for some kind soul, to explain what was going on.

In the spirit of that time, I submit for your edification, a true classic of the era http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmDPdCzCfFM&feature=related

As hard as it is to imagine, some of you have likely never seen this before. I hope you enjoy it, as much as I did, the first time I saw it.

and thats why u are a mod!

loved it!

I only joined in '05, and would say '05-'07 were "golden" for me.

Really, this place is still interesting, it's just that a lot of the older members got too mature to visit here anymore (i.e. they got lives ) and the forum changes alienated a lot of the other members.

Nah, they just use Facebook instead.
