Re: “a few loyal participants, politically polarized”
First, it's good to see you! I hope you'll return.

Second - just so there's no misunderstanding - the leftists are welcome on this board. They've walled themselves off from the big, scary world by choice, prohibiting the less extreme majority from using their forums.

Third, I had no idea AB was twenty years old! I guess it makes sense, but I wasn't here from Day One so I was unaware. Thanks for the heads up - and THANK YOU, BOB. I have no idea why practically everyone left -- A lack of interest? A preference for Reddit? It's a mystery to me since what initially attracted me to RagingBull continues to exist on this quieter site. We aren't numerous, but at least the folks who use this board are standup people. (I honestly don't think clo would say the same about all of her board's members.)

(Reposted from ABGT)

Twenty years ago, Bob created ABGT as a place for a group of refugees from Raging Bull to share investing information and commentary. It thrived and grew into a lively forum for just about everything.

Nothing lasts. Not much remains but a few loyal participants, politically polarized like most of the online world. To those few, however, Atomic Bob's is home and to his credit, Bob keeps the now-ancient forum alive.

What a long strange trip it's been. I keyed by first online message at 300 baud a quarter-century before ABGT's birth. But I don't want to get all weepy and nostalgic...just dusted off my old alias to congratulate and thank Bob for making this place a reality.
