Nice one Ginger...Swarmy are us!!:)
Nah, 'swarmy' are sons-of-bees. ;)

It's mostly due to so many of our members being young males with the natural tendency to be disrespectful, a PITA, and shoot from the hip instead of premeditating a response or considering the feelings of others. I would have been banned my first month here if AT and the internet were available to me when I was 17! The upside is that they will grow out of it and have to suffer through the next generation perpetrating the same juvenile nonsense on them ;)

Youth may be part of the explanaion, but there are certainly some very nice young guys here, too. AMD Junkie and Paulson have both contributed quite a bit to the forums (never thought I would say that about Paulson, but it is true.) Viper GTS was in his teens when he started here, and he's one of the best guys around.

On the other hand, Dennilfloss, Texmaster and Johnny Reb were older fellas, weren't they?

Ahhhh - Sweet Revenge!!
I have already lived long enough to see my son have a teenager just like himself.
Now, if I can just hold on long enough to be a burden to my children I can die a happy man.

Texmaster is 26 I think and didn't really thread crap, just force his own inflexible and confrontational rhetoric on eveyone. BTW 26 isn't old ;)

Why are you getting bitter? I always figured you were never born. I just assumed you congealed in a sewer somewhere...

So because you are old you feel the need to prove yourself to people younger than you? ;)

Who's bitter, especially when someone can come up with a creative way to use the word "Congealed" in a flame:) Never in my wildest dreams (ok maybe passing thoughts) did I ever expect a Pimple Farmer to slam me with that:) Good show!

Actually it's the other way around! They are always trying to be the "Alpha dog" and prove that they are men, I just show them that they are young men ;)

Yeah.. that I can about give myself a cardiac arrest trying to keep up with some youngster on the Basket Ball court only to have the ball slapped right back in my face when I attempt a Jumpshot (skying above the ground with my impressive 1 and 1/2" vertical leap)

Now we have wankers who post pics of Bimbo's they bang in the garage of a hotels, guys who weep because their boss doesn't buy them a nice gift at the end of the year, Funny Freaks who care only about upping their post count, Religious Nazi's who get all red in the face because others refuse to believe the unbelivable (and go running to the Moderators like Mad Rats). Hmm it seems like we have a lot more material to work with these days:)


I would've loved to have been here to see that happen. If that happened here now, horns would sound and balloons would drop from above. :)

This is What Caused DannyLove to Leave ATOT in the first place. It wasn't that he was about to hit lifer status it was that ATOT Changed from when people cared to as he put it "A bunch of worthless prepubences that need to grow up a bit, it's ruined it for me and I'm sure I'm not the only one that has left because of it"
