Same here!
It started out like that

now it's like "Are you on Abovetopscret again?"

Congrats to the ownership and thanks to the admin and the contributors who make this the great site that it is.



Salute

This thread has a graph, I like graphs 216 countries is good going.

Long live ATS, the bickering, the love, the wibble and the wobble. Cos we love it.

Will this increasing activity in ATS more direct government attention? or that is happening already.

I wonder.

I hope we don't run out of pixels again... Happened back in 2007 after the first huge growth spike. It was horrid.

Seriously though...

This is a direct testament to the brilliance of the Membership of AboveTopSecret.com. It's the content you all create that keeps the people coming.

THANK YOU!

Springer...

Congrats from Denmark Very nice to know that 216 contries are reading and posting in. Thanks to everybody on ATS. Personally i come here everyday. Again Congrats.

Why is one of the keywords '13 year old porn'?

No surprise easily the best forum on the net, for people who just want to discuss anything in most part.

Ats in many ways is what is good about the net, of course there are negatives but the positives obviously outweigh that.

I'm fairly new to ATS, but I've been reading for a while now.

Most of the time when I google a subject of interest ATS is one of the first sites to appear. It just makes sense to come here first to see what is going on in the world.

You guys (and gals) do a great job of keeping the general public informed. Keep up the good work! I for one absolutely love it!

If and when you post elsewhere, link it to ATS.

The worms are really coming out of the can now, huh? Keep it up & the Stats page is going to soon have numbers that rival Congressional Budget Proposals...

I've been hanging around the ATS forums almost since the day they were put on the web, in 2002. Check the Member List & you'll see me there at lucky (?) number 13. Heck, for that matter, Simon Gray (#1 slot) himself registered himself on the forums only 2 days before I did...But I have to admit that was the day I first saw ATS.

Way back when, I never figured on ATS to grow so big. I guess it shows that the idea of Freedom of Speech is socially & culturally imbedded within the human psyche worldwide...Because that's how far ATS has grown. NWO-supporters beware! You can't "engineer" natural social evolution out of the human race & we come here to emphasis that!

I sort of feel like the frequently-visiting uncle watching his nephew grow up. I'm also starting to feel "old as dirt" for the same reason.

Intimidating, isn't it? People could be out there hanging on your every word...bated breath, just wondering what you've got to say next...

Lol...or any number of us could be developing huge files at the CIA...

Seriously, great news on the continued growth and I can't until that triples...
