Just dropping in to say that looking back, some of the fondest memories of my college years took place on ATOT. At a time when I was just a kid that hardly knew anything about real life, some of the voices here were invaluable to me and I appreciate all the folks who were a part of that. And to all the regulars in the Ventrilo channel (Rossman, Actuarytm, Upscillion, Platypus, chuckywang, and so many others) - those sessions were some of the most fun I've ever had on the internet. Cheers to you, wherever in the world and life you all might be now. Maybe reading this message in another 20 years when we're all 60+...

18 is the number of years which have passed on my present journey through our solar system, just recently passing Saturn on the way to the next planet where I sincerely hope to find the previously mentioned occasional, rare, and elusive olive.

Nothing seems set in stone. I've stumped for @Red Squirrel 's forum (anyf.ca) but there have been other suggestions.

The forums seem stable for now. Perhaps we won't be forced to move.

Appreciate the listing of these places; especially for someone very out of the loop.

Is that... uh... other forum still around, in any iteration?

The one begun by .. you know.... three individuals?

It's also in my profile. https://www.anythingforums.com also goes to it if that's easier to remember but when I saw a 4 letter domain available I had to go for it.
