10. 70% of ATOT post content fails under the category of "repost". Countless new threads pop up titled "OMG YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS", oblivious to the fact that exactly 5 out of the 10 threads below them are showing the exact same thing. There's only so many times any one cares to see the new Apple store, or David Hasslehoff's nipple slip, etc.
9. The "neffing at work crew" and the "night crew" rarely mix, so mingling is rarely possible and the chances for new and exciting introductions, slim. Within a weeks time you can probably attach a pretty accurate title to most of the regular members that post during your particular atot session. The catch is: the title often includes the words "douche", "absofvckinglutely-retarded", or "gay".
8. By some twisted act of fate, the forums have somehow become place where one can receive "free diagnosis for your life-threatening condition", or "counseling on how to deal with your restraining order". These situations, where even qualified professionals historically tread with an extra-light foot, seem to become a favorite among members. Almost as if there is an unmentioned pool going on about who can get the individual in question killed the fastest, or in the most trouble with the law.
7. 80% of the counsel given to individuals genuinely seeking help because they have nowhere else to turn - is given by individuals who base their advice on something they learned from the matrix, guild-members on world of warcraft; or better yet, nothing whatsoever
6. 90% of the members on ATOT are bitter and find the forums a place to release some of the repressed anger they hold for the world and all that it represents. The majority of that percentage will suddenly find sunshine in the darkest corners of the universe and tell the entire community in no less than 15 threads ? the moment an individual, however unattractive, bats an eyelash in their general direction.
5. Post count and intelligence have no correlation whatsoever. You'll find complete imbeciles even at the 8k-15k post mark, the kind that make you want to start a charitable organization for those who had to suffer through thousands upon thousands of their absolutely worthless comments.
4. Moderators rule with a limp-wristed, iron fist. The entity is so damn schizophrenic that one day a lifer might be sent on vacation for a month for making a comment about the weather and Chuck Norris; and the next day a dozen threads about how one should beware of their asian neighbors, for the sake of their pets, all go unnoticed.
3. 99% of individuals have a highly inflated impression of their own self worth. The remaining 1% was emotionally beaten into oblivion by the majority, after posting either a high-school centered YAGT or accidentally presenting a story in a way that could cause the OP to be mistaken as a bigot. That 1% now hides in the shadows, waiting in futility for their name to fade again from the spotlight of notoriety ? but ATOT never forgets.
2. ATOT never forgets. If you were ever overly curious about a spider, killed a fictional person, or even just sold your body in a little man-on-man action to purchase a video card ? it'll haunt you for the rest of your days. Never will you post again without another individual taking it upon themself to reference (links and all) your past. This also works in the lower, less glamorous end of the spectrum. Your opinion is of absolute worthlessness once someone digs up a post you made 8 years ago, while inebriated, about how you thought GWB wasn't "that bad".
1b. 99% (or close enough to it) of the ATOT population claims incredible sexual prowess and will gladly describe, in detail, the 8 hour menage trois session they just finished 'wrapping up', or the time they banged 11 girls back to back, stopping only because they found the experience lacking. And because it was time to hit the gym anyway.
1a. 100% (or close enough to it) of those self-proclaimed sexual adepts, after stealing a kiss in the back row at the movie theater, would actually scream so loud the roof would come down.
