what year was ATOT at its best?

[BlahBlahYouToo]

when do u think ATOT was at its peak? you can define it any way you want...

most active, through-provoking threads, interesting posters, funniest moments, best moderating, the "good ol times", etc.

I assume it was already on a downhill decline. But seriously, its only gotten slower and slower.

Hard to say, but either 2000 or 2001.

OT was funny
GH was informative.
P&N, L&R, and the other lame forums didnt exist.
The repost hadn't been invented yet.
Doing DC projects was cool.
Fusetalk avatars were new and exciting. (and FuseTalk worked)
Member ranking meant something.
Forum was busy as shit.
There was only one kid in the whole damn place.

I've been on and off the forums so much that I've lost count of when I joined. But then I look at my join date and it all comes back to me.

[geno]

I didn't even read through the thread to get others' opinion and I chose '01

 

[maziwanka]

i was probably a hot deal lurker before 2000 and officially joined in 2000, but i can't really remember the forums back then. i hardly used them until i started work in 2003.

in any case, im not sure if it's worse now than it was then.

 

[meltdown75]

time for an 'old days' thread again already?!

obviously anything pre-november 2004 was awesome... then all these neffers showed up.................

 

[GTaudiophile]

The "early days" back in 2000-2002.

 

[Regs]

First two years I've been here. Though I loved to talk about tech...now i'm just bored with it. Just the same ol' stuff year after year.

This. I did nothing but lurk during that time. After I signed up in 2003, I noticed that things had started to decline.
