Project "ATS Dark Matter" -- The Evolution Continues...

The new version of ATS is code named, "Dark Matter".

In addition to introducing a significant change in the "look and feel" of the overall ATS experience, there will be a number of significant additions and changes in our core code base. In short, we're well on our way in evolving from one of the most advanced discussion boards to new level of online collaboration, discussion, debate, research, and social interaction.

Over the next few days, the new design will be slowly introduced on a page-by-page basis. Some of the design attributes were highlighted in this thread, and some will be a complete surprise. As we progress through the difficult transition period of moving a very busy and complex website into a new design template, there will likely be some moments where the pages don't look quite right. Be assured that it will be short-lived.

And over the next few weeks, new features and services will be added that extends the core discussion board into something completely different... something for which we do not yet have a name. Some of the new features will include:
- Integrated social networking
- Some level of display customization
- Advanced personal podcast feed management
- Advanced conspiracy master post management
- New search and research tools
- New content categories

So hang on... ATS is evolving yet again.

So when is the Grand Opening?


Or is it still being tweaked???

comspiracy


Conspiracy? Or some weird thing I don't know about?

interesting. The bush hard hat picture had me rather worried. I thought we would see the headline "ATS bought by Halliburton" and that was the surprise reconstruction lol j/p

Look foward to the coming weeks.

Sounds good. I can't wait to see it!!

How come John Titor didn't mention this??? Geez I'm lost now. What maybe he did... didn't he mention a black hole or some such thing... Hmm perhaps that's what dark matter is. So then... if we are lucky every John Titor thread will get sucked into a black hole. Wooo Hooo Dark Matter.....sign me up.

Whoa! waiting and anticipating. This new design should really bolster membership even more. It looks so simplified ,user friendly, and super spiffy!

I am looking very forward to the next stage of ATS. Keep the great work up Amigos.

Saaaaweeet this is going to be most incredible I must say!!!

Dark Matter, whats that who knows, its awesome anyways

Change is certainly a good thing in my book! This proves that evolution is truth!!!

Hmmm dark matter, anything to do with Guiness perhaps.

Well, the last set of major changes worked out quite well, so I'm expecting big things from you, Skeptic Overlord

Exciting News! Really looking forward to the podcast feed management! But I hope the blogs don't suffer any ill effects after the transformation.

Everytime I think I can get away from the computer and go outside, you keep pulling me back!

Here's a hint...

Great now I'll never get any work done at work. Seriously guys ATS is making me so unproductive at work, it like it's seducing me or something. Can't wait for the new look.

Integrated Social Networking eh? Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that I'll no longer need a MySpace account? (Not that I actually have one... I'm much too macho for that *looks around nervously*)

I guess I better go buy a mic so I can engage in shameless self promotion via podcast before the pond gets too big to make waves in.

Now that looks awesome SO.
Keep up the good work, cant wait for the new look.

Sure there isnt a place in there for Guiness though.

Very cool, I was wondering how long it would be before the
changes began.

Love the name, it fits ATS, as dark matter is the mysterious
stuff that makes up the majority of the universe, ATS is all
the stuff that makes up the majority of truth, or something
like that.

Please... The Overlord snubs his nose at Guiness and prefers these when he goes dark:
