[Spacehead]

i remember stalking Dezign... she was hot. also went to an ATOT meet at one point.

 

[SKORPI0]

Oh man, I totally remember that. I was really excited because I found his pic on a YTMND page, so I recognized him immediately and was happy to know he was from AT.

That page still exists too (and now mobile friendly): https://meetyourmaker.ytmnd.com/

Oh hell no! Not even close.

EDIT: You know, she was the only woman that posted here regularly back then, that I did not think was cool.

Had another thought pop into my head, maybe you meant sealy?

9/11 happened shortly after I finally stopped lurking and joined. Every other drama at the time paled in comparison.

I was going though some of the old threads the other day. So many great memories of this place. I remember hanging out with some of the ATOT night crew on one of the old messengers, MSN maybe?

I forget her handle, but the cute redhead that used to be a regular here, posting about a rare night out, and getting hit on by a guy at the bar wearing a sponge bob shirt, had me laughing so hard I almost passed out. Then there was eakers. She was a sweetie pie, and I was pissed the dorks here chased her off by harassing her. ATOT was home of the OG incels.

Now the dirty dozen is all that's left.

You talking about Wombatwoman? She's the only redhead that comes to mind.

I think it was "Change of Culture"

About half the people here were telling me how good it used to be. The other half were obsessing over Reese Witherspoon.

Do you remember Dennilfloss' obsession with Sarah Michelle Gellar?

Something about a blowjob and a video card.

As a male escort, etc.... Funny to read, way, way past what I do for a graphic card.

That was sonz70, I think I linked it in another thread semi-recently.

I missed out on most of the forum drama because I was too scared of OT. I first joined because of Hot Deals forum and mainly kept to the Video Cards and later the Mobile and Gadgets forum. It was years before I gathered enough courage to start visiting OT. There were some really witty and smart posters back in the day. And we actually had some females here. At least I think they were females.

That about sums up my journey to ATHD then one day (almost a year later) I ventured into ATOT. Then some @olds guy lured me into the basement where I befriended CasioTech, PAB, yakko, Baked, MacBaine, PowerMac4Ever, Skoorb, etc., the rest is history. It's crazy to think how long ago that was, just after Y2K. Finally, I'm embarrassed to admit I spent so much time here it was basically an unpaid part time job, lol.

Sadly, I wasn't here to witness @ElFenix 100k post.

Ah yes the rose colored glasses of nostalgia strike again on ATOT.

who was it that shared their password and let people have at it with their account? loke or red dawn?

 

[mikeymikec]

Not when I joined per se, but I remember it seemed like half the fucking forum was against me re gamergate; in their eyes I was a "feminazi".

That's believable.

Wasn't that just a few deranged members that posted a lot?

@0roo0roo used to post a hell of a lot.

Now that's the kind of high-quality nutjob we don't really have anymore.

Maybe, but when you've got four people arguing against you at once... the GG thread is about 145 pages long, these days I would have realised a lot sooner that I was wasting my time with those people

Back in the day when I first joined here there was a proper 'live in a shack' loony that was well into biblical conspiracy theories and was a very much "if your sons or daughters are gay you need to take them behind the woodshed and shoot them" type. He was a proper loony and I was glad there was an ocean between me and him, he was the first person like that I'd come across that wasn't in a secure facility!
I wish I could remember his user name.

sounds kinda like cheez, but he's more recent. anarchist420 was always unpredictable back in the day
