abierman said:

Since it became 2.0, I think my signup date as TRON was 2-22-2002.

But I was part of the black and purple days as early as '98 I think.

AndGodCreatedMe said:

since Hammers closed - I think that means '97 or '98

Since 1998.

counting the old purple black org.....almost 10 years!

You are right! People on AMP were something else. There were a lot of childish folks on there who didn't know how to conduct a proper discussion. I don't think there were any mods or anything like that, so basically people can say whatever thats on their mind. The things they said on AMP they wouldnt otherwise got away with most forums online not even on the org. I didn't participate too much, but I did love seeing the action as I sneaked to go onto AMP while using my library computer at school.
Yesterday, I went back to AMP and looked up some old post just to bring back memories:-D

I think he still around. He's probably finding ways getting back on here yet again under a different name....again.

Yup... I remember using telnet to connect to my email account on a large Unix server so I could read the PML/PPML (and respond to it) with the text-only email client Pine. Cut-and-past with a mouse? Hah! I had to make do with keyboard commands.

I could never get the hang of the old site either. I would just pop in for news once in a while and leave it be.

fantasyislander said:

Heh... I'm actually thinking about installing Pine on my PowerBook, since Mac OS X is UNIX-based and can run it.

dewalliz said:

That's what people were telling me about AMP, which is why I never bothered going there. Don't understand why there were no mods on there to keep things in check.

psychodelicide said:

Most Usenet newsgroups are unmoderated. While moderated newsgroups do exist, they require a fair amount of work to maintain, as a moderator must approve every single post.

Personally, I'm glad that AMP exists as an unmoderated forum... if users don't like our policies, they can visit AMP and do whatever they please (within the bounds of the law and whatever their ISP will tolerate, anyway).

matt said:

I've considered that too. I like Pine.
