Best of all, membership is free. Our entire community prides itself on the free flowing discussion on a wide range of diverse topics with a broad spectrum of opinions. Ideas and expression must be free, and so is ATS. We have grown to our size through one simple formula, encourage informed and stimulating debate, while discouraging troublemakers and hoaxers. The only requirements for membership are a working ISP email account (not through a free service like HotMail), and a brain.
