I miss Amused...

[ohtwell]

You were always a sweetie. You are one of the few I DO miss. I hope life is treating you great, and the road always rises up to meet your feet.

I had, and still have, a wee bit of a nasty streak.

My life, thankfully, is pretty flippin' awesome. School starts back soon, so I'll be back to work. Actually looking forward to it. I'm probably one of the few teachers who doesn't enjoy summer break.

Hope you are well!

Hey, Amanda's back

This thread is like the bat signal for old members.

 

[skyking]

I'm liking it

 

[Staples]

I really don't keep close tabs on this forum but I have always been fascinated with this phenomena of regular everyday regulars just disappearing. I have always attributed it to "internet nerd meets a girl/boy for the first time."

Anyway, I would like to know how many of these people mad a goodbye thread or post notifying everyone that they are leaving? If I was loved, I probably would do it because I have spend many years of my life wondering where people have disappeared to and I'd like to save people the time wasted doing so.

 

[RossMAN]

What up.

I miss too many people to name! I used to have a blast coming here and posting ridiculous things and joking around with other users. Now I'm too old, or everyone else is too young. Either way, it doesn't hold the same allure that it used to for me. Nostalgia brings me back, though!

Now go find Mill and Skoorb

Wassup you two?

In your opinion what join date constitutes "old members"?

I'd say pre-2002, what say you ATOT?

For you '99ers I would think it's only 99 and 2000. For those of us on the tail end of the "Golden Years" it would be 2001-2003, somewhere in there.

Golden Years made me think of GoldenBear, remember him?

 

[ElFenix]

whoa, ohtwell, aves, and pyonir (though pyonir never really left :hmm: )

sup guys

aka goldenguppy aka miatagirl aka about 1000 other rbms?

LOL. I remember the username, but nothing specific about him. I do remember a lot of others from that thread though (LordMaul, lol)

Totally forgot about those RMBs but that's nothing compared to the recent RBM guy who re-appears every few months drunk off his ass. He usually comes on here about this time 1AM Easternish, posts about 20 new threads whining about why he was banned, by the morning all the evidence is gone, poof.

LordMaul there's a name I haven't seen in a while.

Someone shine the bat signal and bring M4H back here, stat, please!

I don't miss any of them and when you guys stop posting I won't miss you either. This place is a revolving door. New people come in and old people eventually go away.

I don't mean to sound heartless but it's the way the internet works. How many of you talk to your old BBS buddies or those contacts you met on IRC?

 

[SagaLore]

I miss RossMAN

 

[Amused]

And Brutuskend... and Mosh. :'(

It warms the heart...

I'm not banned. Simply went on hiatus and occasionally lurked. I've missed you guys too, actually. Nice to know I'm thought of.

So the silent do have a voice.

yeah yeah you're an rbm.

what's before 99... ME! RedDawn, Russ, H8Tank, NoWhereMan, and folks I still see here.

I was an illiterate (dyslexic) 17 year old; since then constant communication on this forum in written form has allowed me to develop my ability to argue, reason, and express ideas to the point that I'm now a published author :-D

[bbhaag]

My apologies DixyCrat but your ability to argue, reason, and express ideas seems a bit moot.
You failed to express any of them.

I agree with your revolving door analogy, to describe the last few years, but when I first joined it didn't seem like that. People hung around and posted more often. It was different.

I miss those guys! Makes me think of the one and only ATOT meet-up I ever went to. Fun!

I won't speak for Robin, but I am great! We're still married and still have the world's cutest cat. She is 10 years old now. Crazy!

How are things going with you? Hanging around representing the "old crew?"

*looks at join date* I'm not an "old member!"

[sjwaste]

Heh, I often don't even realize half the people in these threads left until, well, a thread like this. Then again, I'll disappear from ATOT for months at a time and doubt anyone else notices.

Except for people in the fantasy baseball league, because I stop responding to trade PMs. Those terms are unreasonable! UNREASONABLE!
