NEW: AboveTopSecret.com is Tweeting on Twitter!

Then why does the U2U say at the bottom "This u2u was sent to 600 (something llike this) active members signed on in the past 15 days"

???

We set that number when we send out the u2u, no point in sending a huge u2u that will bog the db server down unless it's really important.

Springer...

Edit to add: I was mistaken in my number... We average a little over 3,000 members a day logging on, the 1500 was the past 6 hours.

Ah good to know Springer. I always took the number in the U2U to relate to the actual number of members signed on.

That will be my edjumakation for the day!

Thank you everyone for jumping in.

More follow-up later, as I'm swamped with "business office" issues right now. Also, the points will be credited to your accounts later today... sorry for the delay, blame Springer.

Ha! If I hadn't knocked my partner on the head this morning with an email reminder of this thread and his promise of points you all would still be wondering where the bloody points were!

He sits around all day listening to beatnik music from the late fifties, sipping $35.00 a bottle beers, puffing on Nat Sherman Esplendidos, and talking about XML to his pugs, and you wonder why he says blame me?

Springer...

i signed up 2 days ago and sent u2u and am following ats but i did not get points yet. the site is ok looks generic

Be sure and check out my avatar of sizzle28. It is a little pussman-cat with a personalized ATS ball-cap. Maybe ATS should follow his lead and offer these for the members. Whadda ya think?

And no-one took him up on this misquote?

This is a mass U2U sent to all 6294 members who have been on ATS in the past 15 days. Please do not respond to this message.

is what it actually says..

Just funning by the way not picking a fight..

So if only a quarter of those that get the original U2U sign up then yes 1000 is quite possible. I figure I'll just follow any old body on the ATS follower list and just cut it down later..

I'm confused...

Am I now a "Tweet" or is it a "Twit"?

Not going to tell you what my wife says.. HA

Semper

Your a Twit that tweets

Really

On my work pc I accidentally typed Titt..

Freudian slip?

By the way nice catch on my mis-quote there buddy ..

is This when the twit hits the fan?
that would be tweet.

so far so good..kind of a pain switchin between pages on twitter,
firewall security on vista i guess.

OK I am signed up and everything. same name with no spaces. Um so i am not sure if you want to attach it to your mobile devices.....it can get a little out of hand.

WOZER

Thanks for the points guys....a true man of your word!
and thanks Springer ...you must have placed them

You guys really are the best on the net. a true hard working crew!
your jobs have to be a real pain sometimes, like last week SO hunting down all those ads with the voices. Man the ad ops where addin' them as fast as he was pullin' em. He got them all down in less then 2 hours.. i am sure that is the least of the problems you folks face every day.

$35 beers for the lot of ya and a fifth of whatever dulcemer is drinkin'

Cheers

Where's my points? I was going to use them to buy virtual ATS champagne for all the mods and staff. Hurry before I change my mind. You know how women are...

peace

Eyecatching thread tittles will get more views... Twitter & whistleblowers...hmmm... I would assume that ancient hairy huge birds don't go "peep" or "twitter-twitter", but go (with a deep voice) PEEP!!! while they're stomping their feet on the ground. Btw, on the tweedlee-dee site, I'm Hellmutt.

i'm kinda waiting for my points too. did most people already get theirs or are you still waiting? (only meant to take space up)

edit: adding line
