ATS Admin/Staff Appreciation Thread

You know, there is never a bad time or place to do some good old fashioned butt kissing

That stated, ATS Admin/Staff have a way to publicly show their appreciation for a members contribution to the website. However, ATS Members are limited to how they could publicly show their appreciation to Admin/Staff.

Therefore, I am composing the following thread as a way for ATS Members to publicly show their appreciation for our one of a kind ATS Administration and Staff. There has been quite a number of times that a member of the ATS Admin/Staff has gone out of their way for me as far as I am concerned. I always receive speedy responses to my requests. I have found that every Admin/Staff Member I have encountered thus far has been pleasant and happy to help. In a lot of these cases the help was automatic and I didn't get to show the appreciation that I feel was deserved.

Now I know that some of the Admin/Staff will take the modest approach here and say they're just doing their job, but I for one would like to be able to show my appreciation for the work they do, not only on an individual basis, but on the site as a whole. I was raised to say thank you and with the creation of this thread I now have the ability to do so.

Not to mention, as an Admin/Staff Member I realize that your job also requires you to enforce the TOS, which I presume, is not usually met with a smile and thank you when you're enforcing it. If fellow ATS members have personal issues or feel the need to vent their frustrations, you are in the wrong thread. Please direct these type of posts to this thread: The ATS Issues Thread

So Admin/Staff members, with the creation of this thread you now have a sanctuary to come to periodically that will be filled with uplifting, positive, and appreciative posts from ATS members.

Fellow ATS Members, I humbly invite you to show your appreciation for the one of a kind ATS Admin/Staff that supply us with such an outstanding site because of all their hard work. After all, most everyone appreciates being appreciated.

I guess it's only fitting that I go first. Foremost, I would like to thank all the Admin/Staff involved in the ATS Live show! This show turned out to be much more entertaining than I originally thought it was going to be.

This show has allotted me with a great number of opportunities to meet new members as well as being exposed to some GREAT music and informative topics. My appreciation is truly immense. My Saturday nights will never be the same. Do keep up the good work.

I have seen this flow by before but it never really hurtz to show some appreciation does it.

Yeah !

Are you somehow implying that Supers are better than the lower ATS Staff?

Thanks for the sentiment...

And Supers are pretty cool...except when they make me wash their capes and have an issue with an extra count on their mixed drinks...

Hmmmm,a butt kissing thread eh??

Well they do a good job so I will show some appreciation.
I will say tho that I don't like the ats live shows but do appreciate their effort.

I have a few mods that are my favourites so I will single their poor butts out.

I`m continually impressed by the visibility of the owners and operators of ATS . Instead of spending all their time in some seedy, poorly lit little back room counting their largess ..... they split their time between said room and `the shop floor`, meeting and greeting the riff raff ,and pressing the virtual flesh

Thanks for welcoming us into your home guys - i like what ye have done with the place . !

Mods are people too .....

This is a joke right?
They are owned by TPTB.
The bottom line here is making money.

Ok maybe they make some mistakes sometimes and
do bad things.

Deny your ignorance.

Ummmmm...I had a huge problem with my computer just a moment ago and for some reason GreenEyedLeo didn't show up in my first post.
Looks around and whistles.

I will leave it simple and true -

Thank you ATS Admin/Staff. All your hard work and effort is appreciated.

~Tragic~

As a venue for exposing conspirators with sourced statements, ATS is second to none.

As a venue for the average joe to vent his viewpoint, ATS is second to none.

As a venue for the opposition, and devil's advocates, ATS is second to none.

ATS Admin/Staff: You guys are unenviably in the middle, and although I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, I appreciate the staff's positive efforts, as this is significant to humanity.

"Thanks for everything I really appreciated."

Yeah the mods and admins here are great. They often bring some sanity back to a runaway thread. Sometimes though, they add some posts that sound just as nutty as the rest of us.
It's cool too like another poster said that they are so visible and present, getting dirty with the peons.



Okay, so wheres the bump to Bronze/no ads status for me now? I wasn't saying those things for my health....

A big thanks for a big break...

If anyone doubts their ability to be subjective without bias, u2u me...I'll tell ya'.

It is my hope that at some point, the internet's capacity for allowing instantaneous communication will supplant TPTB and archaic means of social heirarchy.

A major Thank You to Skeptic Overlord . According to Springer on the ATS radio show last week he is almost single handedlly writing the code for what will be the new ATS 2010. ATS is already the best looking forum on the web, but hes making it even better.

Thanks to the ATS staff for an outstanding site! I have been on several boards over the years and this is the best!

Thank you for the great site, and for doing away with the unfairness we find on so many others. Here is a place to research to the truths of a matter without fears of the censure our findings evoke at times.

You remind me that there is hope for freedom and awareness yet. I applaud your service to mankind.
