BTS: First impressions? (Updated: Goodbye BTS!)

All wrong.

Now 3,000 points. I really didn't think it would be this hard. I did give everyone a hint after all.

Is it some old internet symbol. I dont know.

Is it simply depicting the global reach of the internet? P2P icon or FTP...something like that?

Or is it an icon used by an organization?

It's a logo of an Internet-related company/product/thing.

R they/it still in business?

Old Compuserve or Prodigy logo?

-B.

It's NCSA Mosaic ... gimme my points!

she got it right !...dagg,..and I was hot on the trail, but was beat to it.

Mermaid Girl Power!!!

NEW ICON, ?
guess


SHERLOCK HOLMES' >>> CAP or PIPE or MAGNIFYING GLASS ???


[what went whizzing by--?? over my head??]

Yep its mosaic, jeez i remember using that.

I feel old now.

hey man, I used to use Lynx before Mosaic. I'm ancient

Wow MC. I used Lynx for fun like in 1998-9. But you actually used it to, you know, browse? You must be the oldest member on ATS

Archie anyone?

Gopher?

CIS 3.0?

I still use Lynx to preview what Google sees when it indexes a website.

How is that question supposed to be easy? I've never even heard of Mosaic!!!

I also noticed that ever since BTS came out, the mmod meter has been hovering around "Aware".

Finally, order among the forums!

I remember using Gopher way back...

Just a comment on the new ats/bts segregation...

I have been playing around and really like the ease of going back and forth.

The color schemes differentiate easily visually,...and within either site you can bounce back or forth with ease.

I havent used bts much yet, but it is early.

I noticed the ats activity has really slowed down,,..but that is good as I dont have to search thru all the chit chat to find topics of interest as chit chat was filling it out alot.(I use the Recent Posts box alot to browse hot or current topics)

Once again....Excellent Change for the better.

I like BTS. After some initial getting carried away with posting, I am slowing down with the posting.

So basically it has curbed my posting addiction which would have continued at ATS. With BTS, I don't feel like going to ATS.

Yesterday was a big day for ATS. ATS-specific stats were 9,600+ unique users and 160,000+ page views, a very high traffic day (second highest)... and BTS traffic is not included in those numbers.

It's the ATS logo! no?
Google! Not that either, eh?
A surfboard! Getting colder you say?
Altavista logo! Why are you making that face?
William's old Avatar with that twitchy screaming guy?

Digging deep into the old archive of ancient posts, I recovered this little gem to lament a passing of a dear friend who served us well... www.BelowTopSecret.com As of midnight, tonight on September 10, 2010, the BelowTopSecret.com domain is official off and redirecting to AboveTopSecret.com. Take a moment to pause and remember. Now that that's over... welcome our wandering daughter back home. All BTS forums are now official part of the "OFF TOPIC" forums on ATS. Long live BTS!
