They said the world would end, we would all die, that is what the prediction was, an apocalyptic event.

And I'm sorry if you feel you're already a perfect, "finished" person.....
WOW!!!
You must be really enlightened in order to see that I posted I felt like I am perfect & finished. I'm mean shining sooo bright that you can read something that is not there. Truly Amazing!
I'm sorry that what I stated upset you so much, that an enlightened person such as yourself felt the need to lash out.

However, I think to put all 2012 threads straight into the hoax bin could potentially alienate and make angry a lot of regular members here. Particularly the "spiritual evolution" crowd.
Would that really be so bad?
Well from ATS admins perspective sure that will probably be bad for advertisement revenue to alienate regular users. But from my perspective it means people that knowingly posted BS for years are not coming back. Which is all that I could ever hope for...
However I think even if they were angry they still have the need to perpetuate their lies or misplaced beliefs. So they will never leave. They need to feel special and they need other people to acknowledge it.

2013 is already being called the year of the Meteors. Supposed to be an increase in them. Doomsday will continue.

You're right that it would be very bad for them, business-wise, to alienate a very large segment of their very regular users.
And what do you mean by "knowingly posted BS?" The word "knowingly" implies, quite obviously, knowledge. And that's not what we're talking about (in 99% of cases, at least). We are talking about people who legitimately believe something, not people who are hoaxing on purpose, regardless of whether that belief is not shared by, or acceptable to you.
And everyone needs to feel special. Some do it by playing pseudo-scientist and "debunking" anything they don't personally believe in.
And don't get me wrong there-- I actually respect and appreciate true debunkers. People who do research and point out relevant facts that will dispel a given false story. That is pure awesome-- when done properly. I have the feeling a lot of people think they're "debunking" when they make statements which essentially equate to "nuh uh... you're a dummyhead if you believe that! *eyeroll**lol*"
