Reflecting on impending shifts for ATT, I've been enjoying digging back into the historical posts found on Google Groups (formerly hosted via Dejanews). It's a real slice of life to dig back, over and across the years, and remember so many now-vanished voices and faces that were once fixtures here.

Earlier tonight, I found this real gem: an ATT Trivia game from 1999. Not only is it fun to read through what is most definitely an artifact of a gentler time; it's also a reminder that, once upon that time, it really was possible to "know everyone" - or, at least, most people - in the TF fandom.

Enjoy!

We should try and make a 2023 version.

1) Who still posts?

1a) Why is it Zobovor?

2) Is Gustavo Wombat still with us?
