Hi!

Hi there,
I've been visiting ATS forums for several years now, but I never had any reason to join myself.
Today when I stumbled upon a topic where ATS community helps with solving a mystery, I realized there's this story I read years ago that still bugs the hell out of me as I can't find any mentions of it anywhere anymore. Yet it's one of the most intriguing and weird stories I've ever came across. Somewhere out there must be at least few people who would know about it and ATS seems like a very good start for a mystery hunt.
I already started to form the topic in my head, but turns out I must have at least 20 posts before posting any real topic of my own. Fair enough.

I probably won't reaveal much about myself here, I like to stay in shadows And I don't think it'd be needed for anything actually. But I believe I can bring forth some interesting aspects to ATS community.
Cheers

Welcome to the site. I look forward to seeing what you are curious about.

Glad to see you join

I think if you try and divulge a bit of yourself, it does help distinguish not only yourself, but your ideas and contributions to this forum.

I'm not going to try to preach. I am rather open about myself, but, there are some places I simply am not going to go. So I can relate. But, there is much to gain through sharing even a smidgen.

Glad you're here!

Yeah. Actually I just wrote that first part and wanted to post it as it is and then I looked at it again and thought "that's not really an introduction", so I included that second paragraph to kinda justify it, haha.
I'm ready to provide info that will be necessary in my future posts and / or if someone will ask about me, I'll reply - no problem. I just feel like people reveal too much about themselves in today's world of social networks. It's way too easy to get personal information about most people just with google. It's kind of scary, silly, but mostly unnecessary, so I'm generally having a bit different approach, it's not just ATS

I hear you brother (assuming you're male, probably making an ass of myself .

I myself work in the IT field, am a programmer, and work particularly with Databases. Believe you me, I know how data can be connected. It is scary, and something most people have absolutely no cue about. Yet I deal with it every single day.

I've acknowledged a few truths about myself. Where I've lived in the past. Where I live today. The fact that I am married and have children. The fact that I am divorced and have children who live in other countries away from me. I even posted a smidgen of contact info about me once.


Why?

Because I know the footprint that I have already left. I occasionally google myself as well as my given name to see if somehow overnight I've become as famous as twerking and miley cyrus. I also know full well that anyone with the wherewithall to follow through can and WILL find out who I am. That is simply the society we live in today. I frakking hate it with every fiber of my being, but it is the truth.

I am not admonishing you for being private. There is much to be said for this. Rather, I hope you realize as I did, that to make connections in this world, you sometimes have to put yourself at risk to do so. I was blatant with many facts about myself with my personal introductory post. I made the conscious decision to do so in advance. As a result, I've made a few friends. Some in person, in this short time. I value this.

Welcome, my friend

Welcome, my friend

Yes, I'm male, no worries, haha. And I hear you too. Both of our approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. I'll have to say a bit about myself in the topic I'm planning to make for it to make sense. In the end, I really have nothing to hide and I don't take my internet privacy too radically. I just didn't feel like to spit it all out at once since I'm just getting used to everything around here from member's point of view, haha.

In any case, thanks for warm welcome! That goes to everyone else as well! Cheers

Welcome and Good Day Sir!

Enjoy your stay and have a nice Day!

Spy's are everywhere, there's one at 7-11 Now!

Peace.

Hi,
Welcome aboard! Twenty posts will fly by quick. Then we can hear this good story you have!
