[arwalden]

Ahhhh, good times. That was fun, eh?

[kmla]

1. Yep. Good times. Goooood times.

*hooks thumbs inside suspenders*

Yep. 'twas fun.

*sigh*

[KitchenWitch]

[terrya]

I made a complete fool of myself to the admins one time.

[Richardo]

28. One time?

[terrya]

33. Ha, ha

:-)

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

[Mutley]

5. I do.

Great entertainment there in ATA. :(

[supernova]

6. Skinner, Have you seen my keys?

:shrug:

[Texasgal]

7. " why was my thread locked"?

:rofl:

[arwalden]

45. Why was my post deleted?

:hi:

[ContraBass Black]

8. We should do another ATA redux.

I have a question now.

[redqueen]

9. yeah...

[bicentennial_baby]

10. indeedy

my most sorely missed DU feature, absolutely x(

[progmom]

You and a few others. :hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

I've missed you!

[bicentennial_baby]

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Some of us are relative newbies compared to you old fogeys!

:D

[BrotherBuzz]

[woo me with science]

52. Is that really Will Pitt's mother

asking if DU will sell his books???!!!!!

[BrotherBuzz]

55. Will Pitt's mother, Raven, was a poster at DU

I know nothing about any book deals. :shrug:

[woo me with science]

57. LOL! That's so cute.

That's such a mother thing to do.

[Vidar]

12. I miss it: seemed a little more democratic.

[sbj405]

13. Yes . And I miss these

Skinner doesn't give us Swedish Fish anymore. :-(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. How well I remember it, my dear Arwalden!

I miss it too......*sigh* :cry:

[khashka]

15. I don't miss it much

It only ever got me in trouble....

Khash.

[SmokingJacket]

16. It was my favorite.

Though I almost never posted there. It was like eavesdropping on the principals office.

[dpbrown]

17. Uphill. Both ways. In the snow. To get there.

And we liked it.

[jobycom]

19. I remember seeing the door, but I don't recall every actually going in.

[Misunderestimator]

20. Ah, the good old days.

:cry:

[Placebo]

21. I loved that forum.

It was always great entertainment.

[Hugin]

22. HOW MENNY POZTS DOES I NEED TO MAKES AN THRED????/??

I ARE HAVING HUGH THINS TO SAY TO ALL TH DEMONCRAT ON THE INTERNETS!!11!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. I'm old enough to remember the "Wheels and fire - what're they for?" forum

You young whippersnappers.

[Hugin]

25. Yeah, I remember the flame war on how to make fire.

Rubbing sticks or the flint method.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Obviously, flint is the more sensible choice.

While sticks are more traditional, flint is far better. I don't know why the stick assholes couldn't figure that out.

It's too bad that thread got started so far before the "lock" was invented. Lots of lives could have been saved. But, such is the price of progress.

[Hugin]

29. Replies took longer too... Rapping out a post on the Monolith with the jaw

bone of an ass.

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Oh, you came on board after the monolith?

n00b.

I joined DU when life was still ocean-based and we had to shape the growth of coral reefs for centuries to spell out a sentence.

[madinmaryland]

24. How do a post a reply? I'm series!!1!!

[fishwax]

26. good stuff

:rofl:

[Richardo]

30. Skinner should post a 'Best of the ATA' link - like the hate mailbag

5-10 new ones per week. :thumbsup:

[Guy Fawkes]

31. Swedish fish!

[johnnie]

32. It was always good for a laugh

Any time of the day, any day of the week if you needed a good chuckle, it was a good place to find one.

[xmas74]

35. I miss it.

I cried when they got rid of it. Some of the best posts ever.

[nickgutierrez]

37. Drama Central.

One of the best things the admins ever did was to shut that place down, constant source of amusement though it was.

[likesmountains 52]

38. I can see why they got rid of it, but it was fun reading...

[asthmaticeog]

39. IMO they should have kept it.

Dealing with grievances behind-the-scenes is nowhere near as illuminating to the rest of us.

[ComerPerro]

42. I don't understand why you banned me from your gay, lame site

All I wanted to do was speak my mind and give a conservative viewpoint, but you godless America-hating cowards wouldn't even let me get more than three posts.

[RevolutionaryActs]

44. Half the time it was funnier than anything in the Lounge.

:P

[RandomKoolzip]

46. My favorite ATA posts:

DUer: "I'm angry about some perceived infraction! Skinner, de-activate my account!"

Skinner: "Okay."


I remember like four or five of those. They used to make me actually laugh out loud.

[arwalden]

48. I Enjoyed The "Reinstate So-And-So... NOW!!" Threads.

[LSK]

47. i think i posted something there once

[WilliamPitt]

49. Best ATA thread ever

was a topic titled "I want to start a topic."

The poster was serious.

Skinner was utterly paralyzed.

"Um...you just did."

[VelmaD]

56. I dunno...

I thought the one where nothingshocksmeanymore wanted to know where her keys were was pretty funny. Or the one where I convinced Skinner to get everyone in the Lounge to hold hands and sing Kumba Ya. :)

What annoys me is that links to old ATA threads don't work...they're all gone. At least my bookmarks to them don't work anyway. :(

[Phillycat]

50. Very.

I wish they still had it.

[Richardo]

51. .

:hi:

[Phillycat]

54. .

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

53. Yep, although I don't remember ever wandering in there. nt

[Blue_Tires]

58. we need to bring that back

[Robb]

59. I miss the opportunity we had

you know, as wiseacres, to inject a little laughter into their lives. :hi:
