Hi from Benarius

After months of lurking I decided to sign up. Will probably take time to get used to this forums features. My intrests lie mainly in the exploration of where we came from and how we got this far. And how it all will end. Hopefully I got another 20 years, if all goes well.

Good luck to you all.

good luck and welcome aboard...

I hope you find some answers and maybe give some others a few too...


peace

thank you

Welcome

just a little heads up...

read the terms and condition and get familiar with ATS moderators .

I have observed that many new and welcomed people get frustrated that their posts get ...

1/ moved to a more appropriate thread.

2/ modded to conform to a privately owned companies T&C

3/ complain about website cookies,ads,spyware and that this is an C.I.A. or capitalist outfit.

enjoy the ride but remember you can leave the "free" ride anytime you will it to be so.

I am your freind.

Thanks for your tips.

Hi Benarius and welcome to ATS. Mods are here to help as well, don't hesitate to u2u any one of them if you have any questions. Now go post away and enjoy yourself. Stop by BTS sometime for a good joke, laugh, rant or chit chat. It's a great place to get to know the other members.

Benarius, welcome to ATS, this indeed is a great place, and we are glad you are here, if you have any questions or concerns there are a few people that you can talk to. I hope you can consider this post as your one stop shop for answers to most of the more frequently asked questions on this board.

The forum moderators are quite friendly people, they are here to make sure you enjoy your time on this site. If you have any questions make sure to shoot off a U2U to any one of them for an answer. Also members like myself your ATS Concierge, or enjoies05 are also very helpful and will be glad to try and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to shoot me a U2U whenever you need a helping hand. I am always glad to help

Many of your questions can be answered by visiting this thread; Index of Important Website Related Threads *Read First* This thread is invaluable for all the frequently asked questions about this site and what you can do here.

the ATS Handbook can answer a lot of your questions about the site as well, it's quite informative and helpful if you have questions regarding your Avatar, Signature, or purchasing perks in the ATS Store.

Points are a valuable commodity around ATS and some members want to know how to gain points quickly. There are several ways to do this. One is to podcast, Podcasting if you don't already know is kind of like making your own little radio show about some subject that you’re interested in. Also contributing to TinWiki is a great way to make some points in a big hurry. Also by joining up with Twitter, you can get a lot of points right of the bat.

In BTS (our sister board) one can also find fun games and contests that are happening now, and also get you those points. By signing up with ATS you are automatically signed up for BTS as well, all you need to do is log in and join in the fun with the rest of us.

One should also familiarize themselves with the Terms And Conditions Of Use for proper ATS etiquette and site rules, this helps everyone avoid problems.

Again welcome to ATS and I hope you have a great time around the site, if you have any questions and have met the requirements to do so, please feel free to U2U me anytime about any questions you might have. I would love to be able to help you whenever you need it.
