Hey!!!!!!

Welcome back! Been a while! Was getting worried, when I tried to email and it bounced back!

We had a war! It was great! Well, not really....so far we're mucking it up.... Lots of heat in Europe...most think it's HAARP on the prowl... [/sarcasm off]

Nice to see you back...

Welcome back.

Why didn't you just use your old "The Blade Runner" account?

Where you been? What have ya been up to?
Everything is happening here, don't worry though. Mostly just site upgrades, and alot of new members.

You plan on hangin out more now, or are you just pokeing your head in like usual?

Replicant

Model number please?

In a nutshell:

* A NYC-based think tank has added all the bells and whistles to ATS as your playthings, and it has been shown that ATS will survive both external threats such as power outages and internal threats such as hacking attempts

* the average intellect and post length and quality have declined moderately but there has been a very recent insurgence of quality change agents and the return of missing VIPs

* A small band of revolutionaries stole the 'Take Back ATS' motto and killed it for good, detonating themselves in the process

* There were quiet murmurs and whispers about anticipated terror attacks that sent the board into panic, engaged the FBI in activities including database copying and * !!!!! post editing !!!!! * and raised the bar on fear and paranoia to well above mainstream delusional levels, probably for the long term

* a fleeting visit by GeneralDilemma, who flew out of his coop to whip the soft and indolent underbelly of ATS into shape, succeeded as a social experiment in authoritarian resistance

* the withdrawal symptoms associated with enforced ATS cold turkey treatments have been shown to be very severe

* there is still an outside world where the vast majority of the earth's population want to be rid of the useless, deceitful, corrupt Bush administration, and there is a small core of ATS members who continue to defend the incumbent 'president' in the corner over there, cowering behind ThomasCrowne.

History is subjective, but I am an accurate observer and recorder, for I am MaskedAvatar.

wooohooo i got my acount back wehay!!!

Regarding the FBI involvement:

Look at all the WhispersInTheDark posts and screencaps that other members got.

Form your own judgment.

The official position is it was a hoax.

Freddie, who says he informed the FBI and was exposed by another member, hasn't been seen much since. He's a lawyer. I hope he's OK.

humm, if it was a hoax or not, it isnt funny, there has been alot of weird stuff going down on ats since i joined .....

its as if outside influence is trying to make the site destroy itself from the inside out....

a sort of inside job if you like, boy who cried wolf senario...

the more so called hoaxes happen the more people will lose faith in ats, as a source for the truth, or intelligent discussion...

hoaxes are not good for this website.....

allthough admittedly there are alot of people on here that understand the real importance of a site like this....

and probably wouldnt leave no matter how many hoaxes happen...


keep the faith!!
