Pretty sure he hand wrote a post on a piece of paper and the person scanned it in and started a thread with it
Random memory of the day, when AP.net got the ATL Weightless premier and the server basically got it in the neck due to all the traffic.
Was having some AP.Net nostalgia. Anybody remember the late 2000's thread (I think I made it IIRC) about trashy MTV reality shows where everyone ended up collectively watching episodes of True Life and Made together; where we ended up finding the MySpace page for an annoying scene kid who was on an episode of Engaged and Underaged, and made fun of him to the point where his wife made an AP.Net account to join the thread and yelled at us? God we were assholes when this community was mostly 19 year olds. Fun times though lmao
I was unaware of that happening but that's pretty funny that his wife made an account to yell at you guys haha
The most embarrassing and kinda shitty thing I remember a bunch of us doing back in late 2000's era AP was sharing links to like proto-chaterbate porn live streams and everyone in the thread raiding some poor sex worker's chat. We thought that shit was hilarious.
There was also a "Would you/would you not?" thread where we just posted pictures of female celebrities and judged them, that now feels very problematic.
The word “toxic” is extremely overused but absolutely describes a majority of the AP forums. There’s a reason they got nuked and I thank the lord everyday that they did.
I took a couple year break from like 2011 to 2013, and when I started posting again in the early 2010's I remember a little jarred by the significant vibeshift. That era was toxic in it's own way though. I remember some big drama where 2 or 3 of the most prominent younger snarkposters got banned at the same time because they couldn't stop bullying and harassing people. I remember when they tried to lobby to get a mod banned by digging up his years old edgelord late 2000's posts.
I posted continuously from when i was age 16-22. I took a break from 2011-2013. Then I took another break from 2017-2021. I also started posting again because Covid.
Besides of course Jason and Drew, the only poster I remember consistently being around and prominent during all eras of me on these forums is Big Mike. I am almost 37 and I remember Big Mike being around here since I was a teenager. Mostly because he has never changed his avi once lol
I haven’t stopped since 2008. Before that (when I was unaware of the site) I was cutting my teeth in Myspace groups
I forgot about the babe thread. I guess the "would you?" thread was a precursor to that just a little more overt.
