Herm ... I'm the "guy" that did the Greek translation and I don't remember getting a pm from you, that said I may have forgotten. I did however post later on that thread that I didn't care that they used it without permission.

I am not taking it personally but clearly I have been one of these posters and I am just defending my actions while happily stating that I won't post anymore from that website.

I'm a firm believer in "THEM" visiting the Earth both presently and in our distant past. So I take every report seriously but they also need to be taken with a grain of salt. Debunked or set into the ever growing folder "Unknown"

They are seriously degrading the field of research that has become the butt of jokes do to exactly their type of crap!

On the one hand it's always interesting to see such info, even if it's from ANW.
On the other hand if 99% of what we get from ANW is blatant BS then as SD said, we will end up pretty well ignoring everything from that source.
At least we get a few pictures & videos to consider from ANW, which is more than can be said for the rash of bizzarre reptilian storytelling threads that are popping up so much lately.
The thing that disapoints me the most is the rabid will of some to believe what is in the ANW articles, despite all logical argument to the contrary.

To be fair....every site, this one included, has hoaxes and BS stories popping up quite frequently.
You have to sift through them to find any little nuggets of truth.
All the site rehash the same stories and you can guarantee that if it's on ATS, it will be on ANW, GLP, OM, and any other forums too.

It's just that we (ATS) are a little better at seperating fact from fiction and the wheat from the chaff.
And the staff and owners have a strong dislike for hoaxing....which i applaud and perhaps some of the other sites let slide.


My 2p

I've noticed this site taking a few digs over the past few weeks, and to be honest, apart from some uncredited articles and information, it really isn't as bad as a lot of others I have seen over the years, if people have a problem with their articles or information being Plagiarised, then surely that is the problem of the person who originally posted it and the Admin of that site and on ATS if they have an issue anything?

I've noticed it tries to steer away from the repetitive stories which pop up over and over again, like has been mentioned the Betty and Barney hill story, that is fair enough because the story has been beaten to death, and with no new information I don't understand the constant resurfacing, the same with the Rendlesham forest incident, that used to be one of my all time favourites, but again it has been beaten to death so much I cringe at the possibility that someone else has decided to take a pop at it, the whole incident was turned into a joke once the credibility of the witnesses was questioned by some not so credible people themselves, that is just annoying, some of those people wouldn't know respect if it smacked them in the mouth covered in skunk spray, and there is a tendency by some, who believe the whole UFO Phenomenon is an American only Phenomenon, that has been brought up before, I know it has, but it is only a very few people who do that. (so very wrong)

I am also starting to think this whole ANW is becoming more personal than concern for the World of Ufology, you can see it if you go through the threads, but that is just my opinion, sure others have noticed.

However not being of the sheep kind, I shall make up my own mind, and so far all I have seen is a whole bunch of complaining, if your words have been stolen (LOL) then go see a lawyer, don't do what you accuse that site of doing yourself, making Ufology look even worse.

People will make of that site what they will, I'm sure they are big enough to decide for themselves, The stories posted here, are a long long way from being the worst I've seen here.

Funny thing is, I have never visited that site before reading this thread, I 'm sure I will visit again.

azz,

I’ve been to both sites over time what I see is, it’s all the same. Same stories, same news, only thing different is the layout. What’s the difference where material comes from as long as it can be verified and PROVEN? You guys actually think all the ATS threads are "solid" material? I look at both sites as though they are the national enquirer, we know its all bull#, but sometimes one true story does make, only to be spun into the mix, and loses any credibility it may have carried. Great places to come use your imagination and blow off steam.

i have a feeling this site is going to be proved wrong later if not now.
how come its the only site that has the news it produces, and many of them are outstanding and bizarre. welcome to the tabloids of the internetz
