25 years ago it did. There was an engineer from Windsor and a Husky Engineer amongst others. It was really a totally different site back then. The retards were kept in check and either driven out or kept quiet.
Originally many of the early AS members came from Toolshed forums, myself included.
When was it you joined AS?

Dug back and found my first AS post, Nov 25, 2006!

It was about grinders, and I still agree with most of it!

Now, I promote dressing the grinding wheel more, to expose fresh, sharp, abrasive!

2007 for me.

I was trying to figure out how to put a 038M P/C on a seized 038S I got for free. I got that done with a NOS/OEM Mahle P/C. Still have that saw and it still runs real strong. Was that the first conversion of that type? Don't know. I know others have done it since and improvements/new methods have been used.

There was a lot of knowledgeable people at AS, some have left, some are still there. Lakeside53/Andy comes to mind. AS lost a good one when he stopped coming around AS.

Many have migrated here and left AS and/or got banned there. Some still use both sites like myself.

I got the AS ban hammer once because of a piss ant in the political forums who is still there. Many there contribute nothing except drivel in the political forums. I go there to poke the Leftists in the eye.

I am thankful for OPE. Lots of knowledge and good reading/good people here.

I do notice a bit of a left lean there.

I logged on to AS about a month ago for the first time in about 2 years. I noticed the changes right away. The only thing keeping me there is the friends I've made and very helpful folks.
AI is a growing BS cancer.
AI BS on YT is turning me against posting on my channel. It seems people would rather watch lies than good natural content.

The political forum on AS is a funny one.
Mostly they just want to fight and argue.
I think they all have personal vendettas against each other.
I also think there's lots of accounts run by just a few people.

There all complete retards anyways.
They're are not!

Even 15 years ago it was still going good.
