It seems that the sheer size of our ATS community and the variety of subjects that we tackle that there are people out there who make hoaxes just for
us. Case in point:
I took particular offense to the first one because his story claimed that he was directed to this site. He came to this site to attempt to play with
us, in a shameful way. Our quality members quickly took his story apart into the little hoax that it was. He thought to himself. Hmm some "alien
nuts" and then manufactured a hoax. This is a personal attack in my opinion towards the site.
The second one although not made directly for ATS just shows what we as a community are capable of surgically dicing apart any photo or video for
truths sake. This is what I believe is great about ATS, and will continue to be so. Thank You.
ATS has always had, and will probably always have it's share of hoaxers. Not to worry though, the ATS community is pretty darned good at weeding
them out, and the mods always do an outstanding job of finding them and taking the required action.
Sensfan is right.Its hard to pull the wool over alot of members here.The most despicable hoax that comes to my mind was a kid claiming to be dying
from a rare form of cancer.After a few pages of people saying how sorry they were(some members actually knew he was lying)he admitted he was not dying
and insulted everyone who felt bad for him.
