A few members have made me realize that the bad things in life open your eyes to the good things I was too busy being an idiot to pay attention to.

How to turn into an asshole.

No, seriously, I've had a lot of help outside of OT. OT is just a festering sh|thole waiting to be flushed. Yes, I know, that's why I'm here. See? I knew you were going to say that. OT teaches people to be assholes.

Note: I just supplied the liquor in order to help with this realization.

I don't come to ATOT with personal problems, but I've gotten help several times with code or other computer-related things. Got some help deciding what laptop to buy... I'd say a $1200 purchase is a serious topic. As far as buying houses or cars, no, not yet.

Edit: I guess I should edit this and say that the most help I've gotten from AT hasn't actually been from ATOT but from the other forums.

the best part of ATOT is that you get answers in under 5 minutes. I don't know why people don't take advantage more often... or maybe some people just don't want to seem unknowing or uninformed and are too afraid to ask. *shrug*

The only thing ATOT has really helped me with, is procrastinating and getting useless questions answered.

You would *never* know it from another hot topic of the moment, but AT (and a couple of particular members therein) helped me a lot when I was really really stressing about trying to turn gay. I was more than a bit suicidal. Needless to say, that changed.
