I thought it was one of the greatest hoaxes of all time. Didn't upset me in the slightest because after all this is only the internet.

A 40-year-old manbaby making up the death of a woman and child is not a "hoax" it's a desperate cry for attention.

Put whatever label you want on it. Dwelling on the past does no one any good.

BTW, I had quoted you, but it somehow didn't make it into the above quote.

Nowheremom = Biggest wise and beautiful woman move in the history of AT. Letting that fuckwit Analfloss back in is the second.

Based on that post, I believe you've got some major anger issues. You should think about finding a way to deal with those.

Pot meet kettle?

The first page or two of comments make me sad for ATOT. WHat have we become?

Enjoyed the recap, reitz. Don't think there was ever more drama at AT than when that was going down.

Know what you mean about missing thoughtful posts with some meat to them. I think the difference is the majority of OT regulars today aren't interested in a discussion, they just want to post something to insult someone.

For me the turning point around here were the Wounded Monitor Children.

Pissed because mom's allowance wasn't enough to buy a 17 inch Hitachi CRT at a rational price for the time.

There's a big difference between being a prick (which I freely admit I am) and being an attention whore who manipulated the entire forum for emotional validation and attention.

Wow! Someone woke this back up again? Gotta tell ya even though some crappy shit went on surrounding Dennil and the whole nowheremom fiasco the firums were never better than they were then. The discussions were actually discussions not simply verbal beatdowns. Did we get pissed and worked up in some of them? hell yes we did. Red Dawn was one of my favorites but I have to say I disagreed with him most of the time. Still do but I never had so much fun disagreeing. I guess everything started going to hell in a handbasket when the P&N forum was created. It was quickly taken over by paid forum bloggers who quickly drove most of us out. After that there seemed to be more moderator problems. Some of them started harrassing posters they disagreed with while hiding behind their moderator anonymity. Sure was happy when that anonymous BS went by the wayside. Things seem to be slowly improving but the discussion needs to become better. Use your brains people try and say something intelligent once in a while.

Dennilfloss: "I'm bat shit crazy and am going to kill off my alter-ego"
Nowheremom: "Ah shit, me and the greys were having such a good time "
RedDawn: "Caught you, fuckface(s)!"

[ultimatebob]

I think that we should bring nowheremom back... ATOT was a lot cooler back then!

1500 words is a decent sized 200 level college thesis paper. Don't lie, it needs cliffs.

I still read it, but damn.

Did this seriously need a bump?

Good post Reitz ..as usual.

So was your initial post Perknose .... lots of names I haven,t seen in a while.

To comment on something that was said ... AT had already changed by the time of Dennil's hoax which was probably why it went down so successfully.


I feel special.

I not only read about how the NowherMom persona matured from a forum newbie to a full fledged love affair with Dennil but I also had the unique distinction of sitting across a table from Dennil and have him embellish the story with sordid details about how he thought NowhereMom was a victim of incest.

Am I lucky or what ?

It wasn't a bump.
I just read the thread after being reading the BBC one and I had a comment to make....2 actually.

I found it amusing that a poster with over 32,000 posts in 5 yrs could say something like : this is entertainment for me, not my life, Mr. Elite Senior Mod

It's nice to see you back, Sam. Hope life has been good to you. I'm really sorry for having lied to you.

I'm gonna re-sort my LPs sometimes this spring. If you ever come to Ottawa again, I may have some duplicate LPs for you (if you still listen to classic rock vinyl).

I was thinking about this today and figured I would log back in and see what was going on with it. Its cool to hear all these back room stories.

Nope, it's still too soon. You gotta wait a solid 20 years before talking about stuff like this, OP.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Didn't they let Dennilfloss back in eventually? I feel like I vaguely remember reading posts of his, and that was all much before my time.

 

[Spacehead]

Yea, at some point they allowed him back. He died several years ago

Was he the guy with the website of historical warship photos?

Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you...
