Ask Not what ATS can do for you, But Ask what you can do For ATS.

We Need A Hero!

Dangit I want to see this election go to fruition. I know it's a hard road but if your going to do something important it's up to you to convince us the ATS members that it is important to you.

The mods, super mods, and admin of this site have quite the hand full to deal with on a day to day basis. They have a rough job already. If you are going to be the ATS president you are saying you want to be a leader. I am calling for those that said this that wanted to be the ATS president to be that leader.


remember this logo? Make it mean something. Be the ATS leader you want to see. The mods aren't going to hold your hand through this election. They have other duties to preform. You, if your a candidate for the election have the duty to campaign. Debate each other and make this an important issue to everyone of the members on this board.

We Need A Hero!

Make this exciting again. I read through all the candidates I quit speeches and I say NO! Just cause you don't think that this is getting enough attention or is moving in the direction that you think it should go, that is good enough reason for you to quit? Heck no. If it isnt getting enough attention that is because you the candidates are doing something wrong. Don't think that just cause you declared your candidacy that is all you have to do! Get involved! Be the leader you think we need! I don't want to elect someone for ATS president because they are the last person left! I don't want a moderator hand held election. Heck no!

Get out there make this exciting again. Like it was in the beginning! Poll the electorate. Get involved with what your campaign promises were. Tell us the ATS membership what you will do when you get elected. Not what you would do if you were president of the united states but what you will do as president of this board!

The candidates for the United States Presidency aren't sitting around waiting for some debate moderator to guide them to the next debate they are out there polling the electorate, making speeches and in general getting into the face of everyone they want to vote for them. You should too.

Get excited! Get going people! Make those threads, make a stand, and make a difference!

I'll be the first to say that I absolutely agree with you on this. However, here is the thing...

We have been told that there are in fact several people running in this race, but up until yesterday it was only me and Bodrul that I could see. Both of us were doing what we could and answering questions posted by the one other member on this entire site who seemed to care about the elections.

Now, having said that, what is the point in trying to do anything more. Could I schedule a debate between Bodrul and I? Sure I could, but why do that when it would turn out to be nothing more than a private screening for xpert? Why should I continue to try to reach out to someone other than the four or five people who frequent PTS when it seems the majority of the ATS population could care less?

Don't get me wrong about this, I'm going to keep running and I will continue to try and become the ATS President. I'm just not sure how much could be accomplished when only about 1% of the ATS membership even knows we are trying to elect one.

Thats why I am trying to help. I am excited about the ATS Presidential Elections. I think they are a great thing. But I think that the people of this board need to be reminded and reminded often about it. What happens is that we get caught up in our own little niches on this board and forget that there is an entire world of different things to explore.

One of the most (in my opinion) important jobs (I see) that the ATS President can do is bring brand awareness to AbovePolitics.com.

Part of being a candidate is also being a salesperson. You got to sell your product to the masses. Who is your key demo? Well you got quite the captive audience here if you can just sell yourself right. Your interviewing for a job candidates. It's up to you to sell that to the members of this site.

If you can't do it no one can.

Yes, it's about time AP got more recognition for the excellence of its posts, and getting people interested in this election is a part of that.

Its also a fun way to get involved. It is our chance the regular ATS membership to be able to elect one of our own to a lofty position.

Don't get discouraged. Get excited this is something to be excited about. I want to do whatever I can to get a buzz going about this. Perhaps a mass U2U to remind everyone that this thing is still going on. Or yes debates. Get the candidates that are still running going in a debate.

Campaigns are all about creating a buzz creating brand awareness getting the message out. Wherever and whenever you can. Nothing is stopping the candidates from speaking their platform when they post to topics. (as long as the platform is relevant to the topic of course)

Get your message out there let your voice be heard. Podcast! do whatever it takes to get your brand to the top.

We are not Evil We are just Spiritually & Morally Challenge
Love above All.

I have words to say to you my friend
Is it hard to know what’s right from wrong
Have you ever felt your life so self assured
You don’t know the things that you’ve done wrong
And then we’ll say
We’ll rip out our covers
Shake the walls until they break
I’ll hold out my hand to you
Supreme love and respect
Peace man
At first it seems so daunting
How to start or how to grow
But make believe becomes a living
Cuz in life, in life you will know
Peace man

Awesome johnb1 if you want to get involved please contact chissler here he is a very nice person that is easy to talk to. He is also a super mod that can help you get going in this election if you so choose. I am happy that you want to get involved with this election. The more the merrier in my opinion.

The dead horse has finally been been left to die . I have seen some of the highest quality discussions on AP go unnoticed by the wider community. But hey when it comes to denying ignorance the mission counts far more then recognition .

The number of flags a thread gets is depended more the nature of the topic rather then the quality of the discussion. That is why UFO threads and so on will always have more flags then top notch political debate.

Sad to see this thing die, I guess I was too little too late everyone I apologize for my failure.

I wish I could have done more, I certainly do. This to me was an important subject and an important topic.

I cant speak for anyone else but I for one appreciate the effort you made.
But it was time to call it a day. If your interest in political debate there is the Head to Head debate forum.
