All users of ATS read this

Why is there almost no users over at BTS?
There is way too much BTS-related stuff at ATS, and BTS is ignored.
I know there are many new members and the Mods are quite busy.

You can use the same login and password you use for ATS, you know...

I think that pretty much sums this thread up...



I'd say give it time... the powers-that-be are due for their bug in butt time, and things will get cleaned up and rearranged pretty soon.

I use BTS quite a bit...


and there are several "bottom" or umm "below" dwellers who spend almost all of thier ATS time there... just an observation..


I think BTS gets used very well and hope that it's always around for us to use.

Why do so many people post BTS material on ATS?

Because they don't get points on BTS.

What is BTS (sorry, a bit new still...)???

Below Top Secret. It is a forum for everyday chat. You can get to it through the yellow tab at the top of the page.

Or simply click the links in my initial post...
I post there often. Mostly the "Global news" forum...

then why do I keep getting 2 points for posting in the Chit-Chat forum?
I'm aware (and agree with it) that there shouldn't be points awarded for a BTS posting, I'm just saying that there are

Not about points for me - points are crap-all, don't care about backgrounds and yadda yadda. (now taking bids for existing points, lol).

I just don't see anything that interests me.

But then, I am persnickety

Misfit

That is bizzare! I was always told that no points were awarded for anything in BTS. Perhaps it is a glitch. Although I would never notice any way as I have more then I could ever spend.

What? No points at BTS? How come? While I don't see points at particularly useful (bought mudpit access with them today, was somewhat dissapointed), I would think BTS posts should give ATS points. After all, it's sister site, no?

This post isn't exclusively for the purpose of gaining points, mind you. Only partially for that purpose. More so curious to know why no points are granted.

I wold hope not as you don't get points for posting in "Board Questions & Business"

Right well, whatever. I'm recieving points for these two posts in my mind. It's good enough for me.

Summed up perfectly

posting is about quality not points

I'm guessing this "error" was corrected, as I haven't gotten points for my 2 latest BTS posts, or so I've noticed
I was getting them before, however

I go over now and again because all my threads usually wind up there!

What's wrong with that?
BTS is great
People should spend more time there. That's where people get to know each other better.
