I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

There.  Fixed it for you.   Hug

If I listed a dozen reasons why, I would have been questioned on the order of the list.

Please don't speak for me by changing my words to what you think they should be.

I am done with the subject.  I chose to leave TTA.  I left...it's done.  No further discussion is really needed on that subject.  Save it for over there please.

From outta:
My sincere apologies.  Simply seeking some acknowledgment that not all of us feel you killed the forum, in any way, shape or form.  And to repeat:
Some even made a point of defending your right to your decision even while not agreeing with it.

We're all hurting in our own way.  Especially now that it is an official certainty that Seth will not allow TTA to continue to exist in any way, shape or form.

Don't I know it. I put up flyers in every high school and community college and can never create a gathering. 

What am I doing wrong???
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Try appealing to "born again virgins."  You know, the ones who claim to get a re-do on their virginity...  Bigger pool to draw from.

This was pretty much exactly how AF.org started. About 12ish years ago I created atheistforum.com (not atheistforums.com) with an acquaintance who ran the server etc. but played no part in the actual forum. For two years we gained members and then one day the admin section wouldn't load. I contacted the guy and he said he'd sold the forum to someone else, no idea who.

I already owned atheistforums.org so I set up a new server and the entire community moved over here, where we've been for the last 10 years.

I'm always going to be a part of AF, it's been a large part of my life, I've made friends through it, met my wife on it, etc. You can pry it from my cold dead hands before I ever closed it down.

I'm liking this place more and more. That's really awesome of you to take care of the community like that. It's nice to know this place won't be going anywhere for a while, being a closeted atheist my sanity can only take so much without having SOMEWHERE to go so I can be myself without god being jammed down my throat. Thank you for making this place possible Heart
