    It used to be called insomniacs, alcoholics, stoners, singletons and people currently not speaking to their other half but After Hours was catchier.

    From the darkest recesses of the human psyche.

    Or maybe the Isle of Man.

    Is this the new "funny" thing that every thread will have to include?

    Go back and have a look at the earliest posts, January 1999, all locked - because they were txt spk rubbish and abuse presumably - intervals of several days between posts, the first six months fit on two pages. Obviously it took a while to take-off.

    Two teams of scientists, one in the USA the other in France, working independently of each other, both made the breakthrough in around the same time, in late 1947. They both forgot to patent it so some other bloke started making it cheaper in the mid 1960's and that pretty much brings us up to today.

    I think they're locked because retarded people used to bump them with a "wow dis is wat aftr hores wuz lyk in 99 lol" post.

    Could be wrong, but I *think* it was suggested by DeVore back in the day when all this was nothing more than a Quake site.
    Cloud was apparently, not totally convinced at the time....

    Boards was a much smaller group when AH opened its doors.
    All the hardcore players did their off topic chat in game anyway :cool:.

    I doubt it. I suspect that severl places will be bombed back to the stone age and bush will want to send troops into a couple of places to clear them out. Expect a lose of civil rights in the states and a few other countrys as a kneejerk reaction.

    Boards user Draco spot on there.

    Seems only a few read it and partake in it, some snobs deride it but seem to still read it and have their opinion on it. AH is the Daily Mail of Boards.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    It was formed by the energy created when Chuck Norris hit the Incredible Hulk with a roundhouse kick in the stones.
