A note about the seeming "commercialization" of ATS.

There is enough that is free to allow anyone to participate.

Don't forget folks, we evolved from ezBoard to this custom super system.

Old skool ATS, its hard to believe that it all started there. Did you guys ever think ATS will get this big?

Well I didn't...we did notice the forum got more popular over time, but we didn't expect to have an average 2500 new post per day

Here is a nice graph abovetopsecret.com... this is not the entire ATS from history, some data got lost. And the Ezboard data is also not included. (I believe the info is from both IkonBoards and all two or three XMB boards )

Well thanks for clarifying everything Skeptic. I was curious at first why you removed the pay pal link. I still don't think that the fact that it would be "simply a drip in the bucket" or somethign like that, is enough to refuse donations, but I can see where you're coming from, so... It's your choice anyway.

Hey, at least we can help by buying t-shirts and eventually, hopefully, other things.

Keep up the good work
