Well mine would have to be to Simon.

My honest question would be "How has life changed since starting the worlds biggest online conspiracy forum". By this i mean how has life changed for him. Is ATS now your sole and only job and what are the benefits of being in control of such a site

This question is for any AMIGO brave enough to accept the challenge.
I really need to know the answer to this query so please assist me in my psychological profiling experiment. What colour do you like best -- iridescent blue or metallic green. there is no wrong answer for it is simply a test. Thank you for your valuable time.
On a final note, if you do not answer this query then a hole will widen at the North Pole and bad things will happen. Thanks again for your time.
Your Friend 'til the End,

To any of the 3 amgios;

Have you ever experienced something that defies belief, such as seeing a UFO?

What do you say to the folk's that claim this site is operated/controlled by the government? I am not saying I am one of them, I am just curious as I have seen a few lingering threads on this issue. BTW fantastic site!

This one is for Bill.

What are the deciding factors that can turn us mere members into moderators? Do you have to have knowledge in a particular subject area or is mod status given out based on overall post quality? Also, have you ever had to ban a moderator before?

I have a question for Simon.

I, personally, didn't see my present circumstance coming until it hit me like a bus doing downhill with no brakes. Did your present professional path take you by surprise, or did you see it coming?

To any of the 3 amgios


If you could change one thing to make the world a better place - what would it be and why?

What do you think is the greatest threat to world stability?

What are some 'sighting' you've had? Alien? Ghost? What? What compelled you to make a discussion board?

Thanks.

I was wondering when the Simon Gray interview is coming? We have had SO and Springer and they were great shows, now I'm still looking forward to Simon's interview.


And my question for him would be:
How do you feel about your baby growing up? And did you ever expect ATS to become the force it has in the conspiracy field?

Simon's Interview will be coming as quick as he gets his new phone system in. Right now, his only avenue to the site is through an internet cafe scenario. We are as anxious as you.... so hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

PLEASE - KEEP THE GREAT QUESTIONS COMING!

Dave

For anyone of them to answer...

How long do you plan on running ATS? Do you see yourselves still owning/running ATS in I don't know...2009? Beyond?

Trying to get Simon set-up for next week (fingers crossed). He is still having problems with the British Phone Company. Questions? Ask them HERE for the Simon Owner's Box.

I just communicated with Simon and we are doing his Owner's Box Sunday the 21st of October. SO, he will be looking over this thread and answering as many as possible for one of the following week's shows.

Dave

Hi simon, I just noticed your new avatar on another thread.

Are you the Artist formerly known as prince?
Did you hire Sheila E purely for her percussive abilities?

I would like to know why you guys seem to keep a healthy distance from the forum members? Are there any times when you can be found in the forum chat? It would be nice to have some connection to you guys and to know more about your personal views on the various subjects discussed here. I would also like to invite you all to come take a look at the Halloween short stories and leave some comments for all of the hard working writers. Thanks Amigo's!

Oh one more thing, I would like to know if any of you start threads on any of the subjects here? I enjoyed the Travel channel documentary and it got me wondering why we are not seeing more from the owners of the site. I have seen pop in's quite often and several moderating threads, yet to be able to Q&A would be awsome.

Simon & Dave

Thanks for opening up the floor for questions

With the new and exciting growth of the site and the anticipation of taking your baby to the next level with the upcoming event in New York City on November 5th,

I was wondering if there was a possibility of the resurrection of an Above Network news forum in the same vein as ATSNN with a dedicated staff and reporters.

Having been a reporter, I do miss the daily operations and interactions with ATSNN staff and reporters and helping members in creating their own entries.

I know that my enjoyment of being associated with ATSNN makes me biased but I still have hope that this small part of the Above Network could someday get dusted off and brought back into the light of this wonderful place.

I would like to know where Simon sits in regard to the 9/11 debate.
To what extent if any he thinks that the US government was involved in the WTC attacks, also British involvement in 7/7 bombings.

Dave and Johnny!

Here's a curve ball?

What would YOU guys think about setting up the opportunity for us ATS posters to interview YOU?

Think about it.

Imagine all the questions? Imagine all your answers?

I know you guys are looking for ideas to promote ATS. Your schedules are probably pre-planned and all that jazz.

I thought it would be a fantastic idea to further ATS Mix unto different levels.

You wanted to get your hands dirty...ok... well...take it from one poster, RIGHT HERE AND NOW, and broaden your horizons.

Mull it over. Think about it.

You guys are TOPS on the board.

Now's your chance to let others see the 'human side' of YOU.

Concidering the 'busy-ness' of your schedule, can you forsee this coming to be?

Now that's interesting..... maybe we will start a topic and see who salutes it!

Nice!
