Long time viewer, first time Poster.

Hello, hello, hello! My name is Mike and I've been lurking in the forums for about a year now. I decided to make an account so I could share my views with everyone. Throughout the year I've been viewing I've seen many many posts. Some scientifically accurate and some horrendously outlandish.

Hey MbretM and welcome to ATS!

Please remember that for now you can only send PM’s (Personal messages) to staff members and you can only post a new thread here in the introduction forum, a forum specifically for you to say hello to our community.

Once you reach 20 posts you’re free to post a new thread anywhere else on the boards as well as send PM’s to any other member, not just staff.

To help you get started, here’s some important links for you to read through:
