The AMA Huffman had just before the APIcalypse, was absolutely epic. It’s going to be pretty hard to make anything even close to that level of legendary quality.

But can we talk about Rampart?

That’s definitely somewhere in the top 10.

AMAs were a casualty on Reddit long before. About the time they fired the person in charge of them (I don't recall the name or details). I figured Spez's AMA was probably the end of it all, since it was so "well done".

i read this site all the time and i am dying to know the answer to this:

is it pronounced "aye arr ess" or "arrrrs"?

[–] kekkers 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's arrrrs, comes from a Latin word

I know how to pronounce it and I still say arse. PNAS is also quite the mouthful. Still easier than spelling out the full name.

I've always heard it pronounced "arrrrrs-technica"
