Let me introduce myself

Hello, I've been a member for a few weeks now and finally decided to introduce myself on here. I had been reading ATS forums for about a month before I finally decided to join. In the past I have followed different websites regarding conspiracies and the like, but ATS is an interestingly different site. There is a strong group of non-believers here, not the typical gullible folks that believe anything and everything. I like that people here really dig for evidence not because they want to prove someone wrong, but because they want to prove someone right if possible. I also like that for the MOST part people don't alter info to fit their ideas, and if they do, members are quick to correct them.

I am a believer that carries a grain of salt on her back. I do like to see some strong evidence from reliable sources, but I always keep an open mind about everything. My main interests here are general conspiracies about our world, aliens, paranormal, and end of the world survival. I tend to not comment much on threads, but if I do it is because I feel I have something genuine to add to the thread.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, so with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.


* Please check out those links posted above before getting on one of the rides. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

* Please be sure to act like an 'civil' adult and are at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward).

* Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your all on. You should be mentally fit, stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

* Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might expect. Be aware you also might end up learning something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride.

* Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

* Please have fun! But be aware that if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentially spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is not only for your safety, but also for those both young and old on the ride with you.


So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!
