Hello Tambo man

not me

Oh, I see...this is a different forum now.
I knew there was something fishy going on...

Well, in that case...hello, I'm Tiny! - "Hello, Tiny!"

Are all of ye ol' threads gone forever?

...hello Tiny. I remember your name from old ATU but I didn't post much then and we didn't speak. When old ATU collapsed AATU appeared with sj who turned out to be Power Pete as the owner. The site was on fire...then my computer crashed and while I was gone some sort of shit-storm went down and sj left...

I see, thanks for the breakdown...and thanks for the words of introduction. I, too, remember your username but I suppose we really didn't
talk much in the old days...well, things may change...

It's good to see that AATU seems to be up and alive...
...and sad to see that powerpete left and that there are still major shitstorms tearing apart our community.
I still don't get how people can get so worked up by words posted on an internet forum, especially if they don't even personally know the
person who's insulting them (and vice versa).

I noticed that some people didn't change their monikers - good to see Eddie, pinhedz, LaRue, Nash and precinct around: hello again!
And I think I know who the VanCleef guy might be: g'day to you too, sir!

Good to have you back Tiny

That was an excellent summary of events by Moonie

Thank you, Nash! Good to see that you're still around!
I hope nobody got lost (or crapped on, for that matter) in the shit-storm except for powerpete (which is sad enough).

Is Andy still in town?

Oh, and who's the boss now that powerpete stepped down from power?
Are there mods? Or is this forum maintained by rockers?

Ha Ha it's me but I don't moderate anything other than deleting spammers.

We lost Andy for a bit, but he looks in from time to time as Nemo.

Apart from PowerPete I think the gangs all here.

Ah, that's great news!
(I mean you being the boss and all)

And good to hear that the gang's still a gang.

And there are so many GREAT SMILEYS!
That fact alone is bound to lure 'em back after a while...well, at least Andy...

But if you're the boss maybe you can answer my question: Why am I not allowed to post links?

Hey, look, there's even a red bouncing ball. LOVES it!

I have no idea why you cannot post links, I don't think anyone else has a problem. Weird?

How are you trying to post them, through cut and paste?

I've tried it both ways, as a simple link and with the URL function.

Maybe it's a restriction for new users to prevent them from spamming the forum?
Like: you're allowed to post links after your 20th post or something?

...sometimes I think you know people more authentically...behind the mask of an avatar they reveal more of themselves than they do in their day-to-day lives.

I'm still not allowed to post links, including youtube videos.

I can't really imagine why that is...does anybody have the same problem?

No problems here, Tiny.

Copy and paste the URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgANuwSNsok

Use the link button, like so: House of the Rsing Sun

Or use the video button, thus:



All work fine. (not gloating )

Looks like one for Nashie to sort

EDIT: Oh yes, also using the image button, so:

In some ways yes I ageee. But I am amazed at how often in forums or chat rooms people seem to direct so much anger at some one they barely know.
