I started out at AF.com because one of the regulars, a guy by the username BadDogma, was a co-worker and turned me on to it. It was nice to be able to vent to a crowd of like minded people without worry. At the time, it was a vibrant, active community. Granted, it had its share of assholes, but only it's share. As time passed, the founder lost interest, the good regulars started to leave, server problems started becoming the norm, culminating in a horrific board crash caused by yours truly and my epic "the last person to post, wins" thread. Not something intentional, it seems their board just couldn't handle a 1000+ page thread. The second largest was their member picture thread at a mere 800+ and most threads, even the popular ones, never made it past 100 or so. After the crash (they were down for two or three days) the draconian policies started and I finally gave them up for the far superior AF.org, which was getting rather regularly bad mouthed when I left.
