Sadly I lack an account for the Atlantic, but I am going to assume that they were bought out.

They got toys R us’d by corporate bookeeping shenanigans where they take debt from other companies and dump it all into one business which destroys it.

Articles that lie to me like this make me want to punch the author in their momma smoocher.

Iirc they went broke because their first product was a huge hit, so they followed up with a bunch of useless crap that nobody bought.

Buy it for Life

Create post

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won’t last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.
