Yes, lots of camaraderie in the early days. I so remember the lead-up to the inaugural in 2001. There was a daily thread way back then, which morphed into America, the Right Way. Chairman_Dec_19_Society started us off with a morning round-up of news.
Then, in the Great Purge around 2008, ATRW shut down. I am glad this thread is for this era.
