AT BBS, prior to the switch in 1999 to the forums as we know them.

199...8? It was a huge metaphysical, philosophical thread about the relative merits of butter and margarine, couched in theological terms, complete with prophets. And thou shalt read from the book of butter...

SKOORB used to be cool and ever present.
This post count took real work. When I hit 50k I stopped for a year just for the heck of it, maybe a touch longer, and came back a few years ago but I was doing 10k/year.

Now I'm only a few k.

all as my biggest fan.

Back then the forums were also much more helpful. I almost feel that around when i first joined, it was the best, but i see how immaturity (myself included) slowly invaded what was once a very good community focused on the community... but maybe thats just me.

I don't remember your username from that time but I sure remember crysla's creampie pics. :shocked: I hope Jake is happy on the other side of the gender divide.

This is what Skoorb's fridge looked like 8 years ago, back when he was Brooks.

I still have tons of pics saved on CDs from 1999-2001. Maybe I'll post a nostalgia thread with them after the holidays. Hell, I even have the MP3 of Paulson singing country and the video of Russ bungee jumping (gotta put that on Youtube ).

<---not the original name. unfortunately, this is all i have left, all my posts, all the time, etc.
however, me and jake had it out a lot, as well did me and russ, and red, and.....man, those were the days.
looking through the banned list of names here brings back memories, of others and me.

I believe you are confusing her with someone else. (Dezign/MrsBugi?)

Eakers got accused of it, but she never acted like that. I remember meeting her (along with yllus, martythemaniac, Windogg, TuffGirl, and others) at the Toronto netmeet, she was pretty damn awesome, though easily entertained by the fact that Windogg's car had all the instruments in US units.

shit when was this? must have predated my presence here.

Yup. She was very creative. She took GREAT photos of herself, and wrote with knowing sly humor about her relationship(s).

Remembers this. <------- She was the very first poster on this forum to employ the self-referential arrow.

Ducknuts in general.
Sonz70 manwhoring
Bulk beef
Mouse in my air conditioner
Aimster's stolen rims/slashed tires
McBaine's epic 10k flameout

And most recently FBB's "lose my virginity" thread in L&R (still in progress). I know it's not technically ATOT, but it's so good it deserves mention.

All I remember that was big was sonz70 being a prostitute, that was a good read. I should also point out that I was lurking on here since 2000 but I was too fat and lazy to actually make a forum account till 5 years later!

yes, yes she was, i do remember.

I think she had a sorta pretty face and super blonde hair that looked like it led to a huge pear shaped body that she was hiding. She was going to come to an ATOT event and all the lil spanksters wanted to meet her then she realized she couldn't show up as just a face or something.

oh she did show up did she have a big ass?

-Syringer's spider chronicles

-The great nested quote nef ban thingee

-HawkeyeNJ's unfortunate passing (we think) in the 2001 WTC tragedy

-All of us who got burned by Shawn White's scam hosting company Cyberwings

-Everyone obsessing over the resident asian hottie who went by "Kei" back in the day...

-Lolawiz's boob job and the 109448010852 views that thread got...

-sonz70's epic manwhore manifesto

What are your greatest ATOT memories?

Glad to help

Banning of SnowPunk98, never did understand what happened as it was apparently a behind the scenes transgression.

For me, the thread I made where people on here (and SPCR) were nice enough to donate money to cover 75% of the medical costs for a stray cat I caught, who had to have her tail amputated. I probably need to get around to posting pics of her now that her hair's grown back where they shaved it off for the surgery.
