I still converse with most of those mentioned and I can tell why they left. The stupidity of the younger wankers who became members.
I'm not surprised to hear that. I hardly ever come here myself because of the screeching kiddie problem. I wish there were two OT forums, one for the older folk (and youngsters who know how to behave) and the other for the wankers to romp around in. OT and OT Lite.
What you wish for is AT in 99 before the AOL Chatroom Kiddies infected it!
You got that right.

I wonder if Zuni can build a time travel function into FuseTalk?
Actually when Zuni's Fusetalk made it's appearance here so did the AOL Chat Room Kidies. Coincidence? I'll let you decide!

The only reason the two are related is because with FT, the forums uptime was finally enough that it could be useful.

It seems to me that OT really went to hell shortly after the membership levels were expanded to include Golden, Platinum, and Diamond Members. Yacketing neffers came out of the woodwork trying to get these new titles, as if they meant something. There were (and are) postcount whores on every street corner.

Not all of the young people here are wankers. Most of em maybe, but not all. I am young (20's) and I never viewed this place as a chatroom when I was an active poster. I wish things would be the way they were in the earlier times, too. I miss most of the people who have been mentioned, except Elladan, who was a real pill.

Creator of the infamous Butter thread, I think he moved to Hawaii and became a Lesbian.

Damn, where is compuwiz1 anyways?

Texmaster and Elledan would be good returns too, but it wouldn't really be the same. Perknose was a sharp one. Windogg, while still online in other forms, never comes here anymore. Moonbeam's officially lost it and no longer contributed anything remotely interesting. ArkAoss was a good guy, was he banned or just leave?

Wduaqnug and Jerboy were never productive members. And what's the name of our seriously demented fundie who would post snide message about us all being forigven and having the Holy Word revealed to us after we die? He was...interesting.

Raging B1tch was your typical Anandtech geek, but he met a girl at Staples (of all places) and doesn't post here anymore:disgust:

Hawkeye was very helpful in the HotDeals forums
