New York, NY - April 9th, 2007 - AboveTopSecret.com (ATS), an increasingly popular Web site community and social network dedicated to provocative "alternative topics," announced it achieved more than three million posts of user-generated content on April 8th, 2007.
"Our 3 millionth message is an exciting affirmation of our community, our intelligent members, and our dedicated staff. And it's even sweeter since this occurred during our Tenth Anniversary Celebration" said Partner and Community Director Bill Irvine. "Our members have created a massive and deeply interesting, if not addictive, body of user-generated content that is a wide-open source of superior research, scintillating ideas, and dazzling speculation" added Irvine.
AboveTopSecret.com was founded ten years ago by Simon Gray and began its meteoric rise in popularity in 2003 with the addition of Bill Irvine and Mark Allin as partners and co managers of the community. Today ATS enjoys millions of visitors each month and community of over 100,000 registered, contributing members (or "bloggers" as some call internet authors). The membership and contributions continue to grow at a fast clip with more than 75 new members and about 3,000 new messages every day.
"3 million posts is a mind boggling number when you consider the ultra high quality of the content on AboveTopSecret.com." commented Mark Allin, Partner and Business Development Director. "When our members post they offer something that is not only germane to the topic at hand, but often enlightening and genuinely new information from a different perspective that may not have yet been considered. This is why our site has been used as a resource by most, if not all of the major news outlets and several very popular entertainment series" Allin went on to say.
With the growing acknowledgement of the value of user generated content in the offline world it appears as though AboveTopSecret.com is poised and ready to lead the way in that realm as it has lead the way in creating an environment of civility, manners and mutual respect with in which people all over the world can discuss alternative topics without having to wade through endless posts of meaningless text or rude, unsavory "flame wars", an unheard of situation just 4 years ago.
AboveTopSecret.com was originally created in 1997 by Simon Gray of Swindon, UK. Over the years it has evolved into one of the Internet's top-20 most-trafficked discussion boards (by Big-Boards.com) with a focus on provocative and highly engaging subjects such as conspiracy theory, extraterrestrials, UFO's, paranormal, and other speculative "alternative" topics. With 147,380 members creating 5,002,069 posts covering 385,760 intriguing topics in 157 different forums, you can say "the truth is in here".
