This seems to be a question that comes up very often, and it is apparent that many of you don't have an answer to this question.

I do.

The answer can be given in two words: To flame.

If you've learned anything from what I've just said, you'll send me a tounge-lashing reply. If you don't, I will have to condemn you all as the woosies that you apparently are.

EPIC GRAVEDIG OF GREAT JUSTICE!

_{(because ATT doesn't have enough active topics and I can't think of a good topic to start. And because I can)

(I'm sure you understand)

(Stop looking at me like that)}

Why am I here? Why do I exist, and what is
my purpose in this universe?

(Answers: 'Cause you are. 'Cause you do. 'Cause I got a
shotgun, and you ain't got one.)

I hereby declare you "Supreme gravedigger of ATT" for making the perfect gravedig at the perfect time.

It exists for the same reason that the Coldstone forum, the Avara forum, the Ferazel's Wand forum, and the Cythera forums exist.

Because they've been around forever (well, not so much with Coldstone) and destroying them would be counterproductive.

Besides, getting rid of history isn't cool.

Even though this topic itself qualifies as that history, heh.

It is a happy coincidence that the sentiments of this topic dovetail so nicely with the normal treatment afforded to gravediggers.

Satisfying both of those demands at once, I say: gray shirt ninja, you jerk.

To ask if Coldstone will ever be fixed, for discussion of various Avara 2 projects that will never be finished, to discuss getting Ferazel to work in OS X and discussing the few people still making new maps, and for a people to try to squeeze every last secret out of Cythera?
No idea that was what ATT existed for.

Also it's really weird that this topic got no replies. Was the ATT at a particularly empty state at that point in history?
It's also weird that it was posted 2 years before its creator joined.

I'd hope there were strippers with those polls.

If an 'epic' gravedig is the way to be 'kewl', I would honestly dislike that title very much!

That happened in another recently bumped thread. I think there was also a random edit that the poster made several years later, long after the thread died, but long before it was gravedug.
