Will you post here when you're old and gray?

[Kev]

This goes out to all the younger folk around here... do you think you will still be posting on AT when you're older, assuming it stays around and the world doesn't end? Do you see yourself at age 60 or so on your quantum computer posting messages with a 100,000 post count?

 

[Miramonti]

Not if earthlink buys AT from Anand and then fires him. I'll probably post somewhere else if thats the case.

 

[MajesticMoose]

some of the people here already are old and grey.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? WTH are you talking about? I didn't hear anything about this...anyone else know what he's talking about?

If Earthskank buys AT, I'm gone. I can see it now..."GET EARTHLINK DIAL-UP SERVICE...IT'S F-A-S-T!" Popups everytime you click a thread.

I was old and grey when I first started positng here when this forum was interesting back before all you Kiddie Lamers made this place another AOL Chatroom.

 

[js1973]

I think that depends on what the web evolves into when I arrive at "old and gray".

 

[SyahM]

of course ... till death.

 

[Miramonti]

Just a joke MD. Sysopt was a great tech forum then earthlink bought it from the creator Scott Wainer and later subsequently got rid of him. Mass exodus followed. There are no rumors of that happening here tho and I didn't intend to start any.

 

[Nefrodite]

sure why not when your friends are all dead and stuff, why the hell not. better then how it is now with those poor old ppl that can't be bothered to use computers. i'd imagine that being old in the future won't be so bad, the net, all the time in the world to play multiplayer videogames. old ppl laying smackdown all over the globe

[coder1]

You know Red Dawn, there's an easy solution to that problem.

 

[rudder]

when some of these peeps here are old and grey they won't have a choice. Everyone's brain will be connected like a borg ship and whatever you think will instantly appear on these forums.

Not that i don't like it here, but when i am old and grey, i ma going to be walking down a street somewhere in Florida with gold shoes, and amulti-colored jogging outfit with big sunglasses and gawdy jewelry!!!!

 

[erikistired]

hey if it's good enough for red dawn it's good enough for me, when i get old that is. he's already old. and fiesty. but that's okay, at least he's not boring.

No there isn't. You Zit Monkeys multiply like Lemmings. We can't flame you enough to chase you away. In fact ATOT is now only good from insulting FsckTards like FFMCockg*bbler and his ilk. The difference between ATOT of 3 years and ATOT now is night and day. 3 years ago it was wild, interesting and the average age was 30. Now it's extremely silly, downright annoying and the average age is what..16? Does that mean everyb0ody under the age of 20 are idiots? No, but many are.

It use to be that the Hot Deals Forum was the Red Headed stepchild of Anandtech. No more, compared to this Forum that place is Heavan. You know everybody is complaining about not enough bandwidth for Anandtech Forums. A great way top regain some of the bandwidth would be to close this Forum down for good. Hell you kiddies could always go back to your AOL Chatrooms..same difference.

i thought we were at AGN 3 years ago?!?

~erik <- only 26 tho, not old and grey. yet. altho my wife is working on the grey part.

 

[sharkeeper]

How about Earthworm? :Q

I admit I'm probably 40% gray/white. Pretty scary combination of ten years of marriage and computers! Imagine the horror! :Q

Cheers!

 

[Geekbabe]

Hate to say it but Red has a good point. When threads like "Which way do you wipe" stay on page 1 for hours you gotta question quality. What's embarrasing though is the fact that I've allowed myself to get away from quality posting and been guilty of acting like an AOL chatroom kiddie on way too many occasions to count

 

[Egrimm]

Maybe, unless I've gotten a life by then, hey it could happen!

 

[Miramonti]

:Q

btw, what the heck is an "NCNE" - is it something we need to know?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

If AT is still here and I haven't been totally fed up with the all-too-liberal religion-bashing trolling thread crapping weirdos, then yes.

I hope that by then I'd have better stuff to do.

"Will you post here when you're old and gray?"

Russ still posts here.

 

[slunk]

I really hope I don't.
