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

I agree with the Poll Option - I think it would be great to see the results - that span accross the site. It would be great for both sides, the skeptics and the believers to see eachothers numbers. And the different opinions on a variety of topics. Vote Once. See the Numbers. etc.

I also second the idea for the separate Forum for 2012. As we have about 4 years, and we're getting closer to the "date" it might be wise to have a separate forum. No doubt, closer to the date, more people will be posting threads that are about 2012 and the Mayan Calendar.

Edit to add: I like the idea of a Crime Forum (i think I may have already said this but I notice that goose posted it), because some people have a really big interest in Crimes, and like to look at the information and try to solve it themselves. *Dulcimer's Thread - On the Smiley Face Killings* I dont even know how many pages long that was - but it was great to have a bunch of members collaborating on one case and throwing different possibilites out there.

A brand new forum titled

"WORLD GONE CRAZY"

for articles such as..

Grandad going to jail for not sowing new lawns.

Professional gardener arrested for carrying garden tools

Burglars prosecuting their victims for preventing them stealing their possessions

Marmite banned from school breakfast tables...

And so many more that just makes you want to rip off your clothes and go running into the sea hoping for a rapid physical devolution so you can live with the dolphins.

All I would like to know is how to go about deleting my account?

There must be a button somewhere for that?

This is ridiculous place where you can't have a real conversation, because people whose only aim for being here is to feed their egos, are allowed to run amuck?

Why does everyone think that everything is somekind of a pissing contest to see whose brain is bigger, don't you people understand that if you serve ego you are serving Moloch?

Ro 6:16

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

End;

In the words of Morpheious, your believing is not required.

Maybe try conversing instead of preaching.
No offence,but it's just not worth trying to stuff religion down people's throats that aren't interested.

Constantly quoting from the bible only works if your name is 'John Paul' or something( or Ringo )

Part of the ego is the ability to make up your own mind and suffer the consequences.

While I think the stars are a great addition to the site so you can show your support for a particular members individual post, but I was wondering if there could also be some kind of applause that actually adds the persons name who gave the applause in a similar manner to the stars, where the "more" option is available too, so a list can form, likened to the ******* +27 more stars type of thing.

I just think that it would bring the community together as a unit as we all have some very valid and beautiful things to say from time to time and I'm sure it will also show us that all in all, eventually we all get along and agree on some front.

You're barking at a guy whose signature says that God is no respecter of persons? lol

Don't be so silly, after-all if he's doing and saying these things to other people imagine what he thinks to himself this place is filled with .. .PEOPLE, just like in the real world although here you click on what people say, you don't walk within earshot, and hey, it takes two to tango to after all you do have to read the material to judge it, there is lot's of great information here, it isn't like your local city though because here you can stumble within earshot of some truly profound people who have gems of wisdom to drop for those whose hands aren't full of hot coals.

I request a feature "jump to page...." for making it easier to navigate trough large threads.

Just click on the page numbers at the top of each thread...

S...

Lol... yes I know that but if I would want to jump from page 1 to say page 232 in a 400 page thread do you know how many times I would have to click before I get there?

But thank you for the answer anyway

I have been lobbying for a new format here on ATS and quite sure some would agree wqe need a big change to keep the site fresh and keep up with the general movement towards a collective conscience.

In regards to my former posts aboput letting the members vote up threads and replies that are especially good, this would work better if members were allowed say 3 votes in each category. The best replies would rise to the top, and bad replies would go towards the bottom.

The 3 vote rule would not only create a new excitement amongst the membership, but it would help to make sure the best replies are easy to find without searching through all of the pages.

Of course there would still be interest in viewing other less relevant posts because with the categories well thoiught out as mentioned in earlier posts people would want to see what their replies are ranked.

Like another member said earlier, well my very good reply is buried within the 4000 plus replies on the blossom GFL Spaceship thread, so I wanted to post a new thread with the information that got buried.

That is the prolem. Good replies get buried, and people become weary of having to look through all the replies to get to the few really good replies...so again I say give us a true hand in ranking posts and replies so we can make sure that the cream will rise to the top!

If you know the page number you want, you can change it in the address bar.

This

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread21761/pg1

To this

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread21761/pg35

Not a built in feature, but it works just as well.
