So FYI Antonio has convinced me that AAD is nothing but complete garbage and Old Atlas is where it's at. So I'm going to use this to highlight the type of contributions that stand out on Old Atlas and that we don't have anything of the like on AAD.

Let's start with this wonderful bit: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=216663.0

That alone completely puts every post on AAD to shame. Wonderful!

OK, I admit it. I reported that thread, suggesting that consideration be given to deleting it. No action yet by the FC Mods. I guess they're busy. Pity, since if removed, that would have, well, interfered with the genesis of this little thread. Tongue

Oh, regarding the 2016 Presidential election board, I think it is much improved myself, and/or got an unfair rap before (I really didn't participate on it much until fairly recently). You should check it out BRTD. You need to keep up. Smiley

I just love how BRTD is criticizing some posters for having a negative opinion on ADD while not being present there, while he himself is hopelessly out of touch with many Atlas boards.

Forget Lewis Trondheim. No what we need is this type of cutting edge analysis!

Jon Huntsman (I) 47% 273 EV
Bernie Sanders (D) 38% 222 EV
Donald Trump (R) 14% 43 EV


All hail rightful president Jon Huntsman (PBUH)! What a sensible, moderate voice of sensibility. Almost as good as John Kasich (PBUH)!

Heros for centaurs everywhere.

Anyway, maybe Dead0 and others are being unfair, shouldn't be talking about a forum they've never been to, etc.  But when a bunch of people on an internet forum post something like "This forum has some good points, but has way too much crap.  You need to try this other forum that's much better.", and they do this repeatedly over several weeks/months...can you really be surprised when people who like the forum they're on, and have no desire to move, start to get annoyed and respond with snark?

Nevermind the snark, it pretty much proves that the place isn't all that freaking great.  Things that are great don't need fanboys telling everybody all the time how great the great thing is.


(and I have seen a screen cap or 3, it was exactly like what I imagine it to be.....people's true colors fly when they don't think the person they're sh**tting on will see it....the cowards know who they are)

I don't like that about AAD but thankfully that's only a small fraction of the discussion. 
How do you feel about Tweedy still being there after what he did, or the several people that sent porn to people here?  I get not being happy with this place, I get (not really, but whatever, I'm making a point) missing the update, I understand it's fun to be able to swear freely in front of your friends.....but doing so in that company of toxic assholes like Snowbigot and opedo seems like way more trouble than it could possibly be worth.

Uh, opebo doesn't post on AAD. Although if he did you're kind of delusional if you seriously think that everyone would see that as a negative due to how much of a following he had.

Also the "people who sent porn to people here" don't post there either (it was likely Atheist2006 who was likely behind solarstorm and he isn't an AAD poster.) Yes Tweed is not banned but why should he be? Should someone be banned for a security breach on a different forum? If I posted confidential Ingress information on this forum would that warrant banning?

And yet you guys raised a havoc on here about what Joe said on a diffrent forum. I love your double standards.

Obviously, and I never suggested otherwise.  It would be a negative, of course, but I don't expect everybody to see it that way....though I'm clearly not alone.

I was under the impression Snowbigot was involved?  Perhaps I"m miss remembering.

The fact that you and the other clowns can't see why Tweed should be banned says everything an outsider would need to know about the place.

IIRC, Snowstalker posted some porn as part of his "I'm going to act crazy-stupid so as to force Nym to ban me" campaign. It worked, but he could've just stopped posting and saved the forum some drama as well as saved his reputation.

Though, IIRC, the porn (and anti-Semitic images) only lasted here for something like 30 minutes before being deleted, so most people never noticed it.  So I don't think there was actually much drama.  His going out with bang ended up being more going out with a fizzle.

Oddly though, he has a namesake who can't spell "atheist", who never posts but lurks constantly:
