Hi, I'm Becca. I'm a software developer and an AT noobie. I didn't know my crappy opinion was so unwelcome.

Welcome Becca, don't let the clearsil cowboys here bother you,we old timers blame them for turning the place into an AOL chatroom.

It helps to start the most inane threads you can possibly think of. "Where the fvck are my socks" is sweet. High neffing potential there.
Offering gifts to appease the Gods is also a good idea if you don't have boobs.

The real problem around here is a basic mean,nasty streak, a level of jadedness that's shocking to see in people so young.

It's the spoiled brat effect, geekbabe. Yank them off the titty and send them out in the real world where the folks don't pick up their clothes and make their bed and they get testy.

[SacrosanctFiend]

I don't think that's really the case with the world though. I think that most of my generation, most of my friends at least, are very good people with good hearts. Unfortunately, the internet disassociates them from any sort of humanity. On ATOT, most people post with the desire to be humorous or interesting, and that leads to an extraordinary amount of sarcastic bitchiness. ATOT isn't really a community anymore, just a place to kill time.

I don't think the mean/nasty/biterness translates to real life. I hope.

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's noz what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it's only round and round.
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.

I'm safe

Man, step away from the computer. Of course, you have more of a life than Gurck, who is getting close to lifer status after 9 months. I have roughly 500 posts in 2.5 years. At this rate I will become a lifer in April of 2052. I'm looking forward to losing my noob status, let me tell you. Of course, I may be dead by then.
