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 be sure to be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** 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 think or 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! Be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & 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"...!

THank you both & will be looking through the rules as we speak.

Welcome. You will find just about every topic imaginable here to discuss to your hearts content. Be warned though in advance, most of the folks here, not counting myself, are really on top of things. Most important thing to remember is to have fun.

Your already starting to sound like a disinfo agent wih your "i heard this" talk

You need to stop listening and focus on the truth. : p welcome to ATS

Welcome to ATS, the stars and flags are good apparently, the W and K I have no clue and could really care less.

Pick the forums you like and start telling your story or sharing your experience, But always keep in mind this is a huge forum of skeptics and if you claim anything without sources or simply saying it's opinion you WILL be met by a bunch of rude people (not me). Once you get over this and get used to the hoax bin you will have earned your wings.

On that note, thanks for joining! We look forward to your contributions
