Politics @ AboveTopSecret.com

And it came to pass during the end of the fourth year of the new millennium, that the Great Gray deemed the world was in dire need of a new means to solve it's differences through the lofty exchange of ideas. The Great Gray, in his benevolent wisdom, looked down upon the hapless denizens of the world, caught up in the divisive rhetoric of the dominant political machines of the day, and said, "They should have a place to meet, learn, and heal." And so it was done, in the fourth year and the age of one million ATS thoughts, the Great Gray made possible the new Politics @ AboveTopSecret.com discussion board to bring together the divided people into a new era of understanding, tolerance, and wisdom. Use this new board for your growth. Use it to listen. Use it to learn. And most important, use it to voice your concerns. politics.abovetopsecret.com...

Thereafter the Pisky dids't look across from Pixyland and saw that Politics@ATS was good. And he didst laugh like a Piskey, for there would come a time whenst Tony Blair wouldst suffer verbal abuse for his treachery, and Blair was afeared.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE GREAT GRAY...

my last name is GRAY so i guess i am a little GREAT too

hey guys, is there anyway that yous can rig it so that we can jump from above top secret, to below top secret, or the polical board, or the other without having to log onto each one separately...
If just doesn't make sense to me....unless they are hosted onto different servers or something.

Three different domains/directories... www.abovetopsecret.com... below.abovetopsecret.com... politics.abovetopsecret.com... Given the use of cookies to manage user data, there's not much getting around it.

Ahhh, the Great Gray has been kind to us.

We shall worship him in all eternity !

Politics - Chapter 2

1 And lo, the inhabitants of ATS, who were wise in the ways of conspiracies, didst look into the [email protected],
and they did see that Gray's work was just and good, and they were pleased.

2 Behold! said Gray, I have cast the demons of fire, who are known as the Flamers, into the pit from whence they came,
that they may tear at each others' posts and that my people shall be free.
For I am just and good and generally an all-around nice-person.

3 And the dwellers of ATS didst look at each other and nod with much agreeance,
and the tea, cakes and biscuits were plentiful throughout the forum.

4 But lo! The flamers did cry out in great anger, and they didst wail and gnash their teeth, that they had been cast from the forum,
And they were as terrible fiery eagles, and fire did spew from their right wing and their left wing,
but to no avail.

5 And on the seventh point two version, Gray did rest, and He saw that his work was good,
And he did send the SkepticOverlord into the forum, that he should rule over it,
and it was good and nice and spiffy.

Thank You!

It's great that that politcal stuff has been given it's own forum, but why is the Political Conspiracies forum still there? Looking at the threads, people are still using it to take shots at one side or the other and cause the inevitable, albeit calmer, flame wars.

Example:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

A legitimate thread turned into more partisan crap by the "usuals".

A conspiracy is a conspiracy!

A little while ago I denied apathy with something about paperless offices, in the Environmental forum but with a leaning to paperless electronic voting which is part of a bigger picture of FRAUD which is a conspiracy that must involve not only corrupt admin and corrupt electoral officials but also corrupt voting machine manufacturers.

Who knows how another Board will help to develop the "Community"?

Today I even learned there were topics and posts at "ignorancedenied.com". I could not tell what that was for.

Happy posting and may you never tire of chasing your own tail!

BTW Mr abovetopsecret.com, are we not at least at the end of the fourth year of the new millennium? (I am not accounting here for the erroneous assumption that the new millennium commenced on 1 January 2000).

Count with me now...

2001 - year 1
2002 - year 2
2003 - year 3
2004 - year 4, of which we are nearing the end...

I do not know this feeling that I missed out on a year somewhere or lived a bonus year that abovetopsecret did not!?

Given the nature of this board, I imagine that it will bring more tarfic than the ATS, does any body think is going to become a problem of lack of trafic for ATS?

Wow- just got home in time to try out our new set up. Awesome

I look forward to staying up ALLLL night now..

Good categories, the only think that struck me as being out of place is that it is the U.S. conservative, liberal and socialist party insignias which are represented in the respective arenas. I presume Simon Gray takes no issue with a UK stamp being absent, commendably so, yet in deference to the various nationalities posting, the insignias are not representative of a global discussion board.

Perhaps I should be more apathetic.
