Instead of having to sift thru all the different political sections to see our favorite trash Obama threads; perhaps they could have their own section specifically designated for criticism of the President and the Democrats in general. Space saving and efficient.

I still think we need more ideas for the point system. People have points past 100,000 , like what are you going to thoose points collect them? I say there should be new things for the point system. Things you can buy for 50,000 100,000 even 500,000 like big point prizes. It would be sort of neat i think.

some cool new gear in the ats store. im sure the plain white clocks and mugs with the ats logo is great for skeptic overlords in home office. but many of us want original beatiful designs on them.

Go to deviants online shops for ideas.

also selling blacklights might bring in some more revenue, also some ats branded U.V mugs/clocks/shirts/couch throws would be cool.

I would like something that tell you when you have a reply to your message and in what thread, which will take you right there, as well as something to tell you how many new messages are in a thread you wrote.

It just needs a number like
I am an alien thread! 4 new responses
Response to your post in thread 'I am Special and You're not!'

ATS, BTS, What would you like to see in the future?

I'd like to see a single login that covers ATS, BTS, and the Video section, as well as the other sections I don't use for that matter.

"One Log-in to rule them all
One Log-in to find them.
One Log-in to bring them all,
And on the black background bind them."

Good suggestion. I was going to suggest the same.

Its almost impossible to remember where you posted a msg, and as much as I'd like to maintain the discussion or reply to a response. It gets harder & harder the older the posts & I get.

Please don't use email notifications though. If there was a way to stack reply id's (or something) in the ATS account, that would be cool.


Anyway. Still love the site though.

Thanks,

Lets have a annual competition about who can design the best advanced word or mathamatical puzzle.The prize could be a two week all expences paid holiday for two in the country of there choice.I can design some really advanced puzzles.Then again i can design some really advanced encryption codes too.I guess when it comes to mathamatical pussles and encryption codes there runs a fine line.

I fully appreciate ATS has to maintain numbers to stay in business.

Working in media and business analysis for many years, I do see a flaw, possibly a fatal one, that is being committed.

While new young members fattens the rsster and increases the traffic volume, something subtle is happening.

Regular contributors from professional fields and the older, better educated types are being drowned out, insulted, and often harassed. The response is to stop posting.

And it's been happening at an accelerated rate. Some of the best people who contributed for years are either frustrated by the overall quality degradation or had one too many incidents with mouthy kids.

I know this because not only do I observe it, I often get U2Us telling me how they feel.

For the people checking into the site and reading through threads, the place looks more like a circus than a discussion forum.

There always are and always will be less informed and more vocal kids on the Net. But ATS had a draw of knowledgeable articulate people who are now less in evidence. When they go, and they will, they won't be replaced.

The numbers have swollen and this may continue for a while. The sensational nature of the topics does this. But when the overall quality level dips, the sustainability will dip as well.

Watch.

Stars in BTS. I didn't read the whole thread, but it might as well be brought back.

Thread was closed, I'm here to add my support for a police state board. I see this as separate from an nwo idea.

I also wanted to ask if the idea of a "free speech" zone has ever been discussed. I realize that the site has certain areas and topics that make it uncomfortable to the operators. Has there ever been thought given to a section that would allow these topics to be discussed? Perhaps a forum that had to be accessed, like the "rts", but call it "fts" or something.

Still hoping waiting and begging for a mysteries board. a lot of unsolved mysteries out there to discuss. Chappequidick, Lizzie Borden, Casey Anthony, and that guy supposedly buried under football field.

I also would love to be able to give, trade and bet points.

HEY GUYS CHECK OUT THE THEME SONG FOR ABOVE TOP SECRET!!

I think a multiple upload. Like, upload more then one picture at a time. Like 7, since it is the number of completion. Just a thought.

just gettng onsite gets 91+ cookies
answering a U2U gets 40+ cookies
doing recent posts on (75.126.76.151) gets another 127 135cookies
