Addicted to ATS

I would just like to say that Ive been a fly on the wall here at ATS for a long time now,and just recently decided to join up.Actually it just kinda sucked me in,
and now I cant get enough.I spend at least 6 hours a day reading different thread topics and verbally discussing these topics with my fellow employees who are also members on aATS.In stead of us working, we are on ATS all day long.Then when I get home Its back to aATS.

I have supplemented the 6:00 news and prime time tv for ATS.I lay awake at night thinking about ats.I have even got up a few times in the middle of the night to check what people were posting ATS is like real time in depth news from every prospective that keeps me wanting more!!!
Does anyone here feel the same way I do, and if so could you please share with me on how you became addicted.
thank you,

Hi, my name is chissler and I am addicted to AboveTopSecret.

Honestly, since the day I have registered I have been a fanatic of this website. The information that goes through these pages in a day is remarkable. Second to none when it comes to current events, I always check ATS first. It is so endless, you can come on this site at any time of the day and find something interesting. Even if there is little traffic at the time, the archives on this site are enough to occupy a member for years.

Deny Ignorance -- Deny Boredom -- Deny Apathy

This is one addiction that I am more than happy to indulge in on a regular basis.

Chissler,

O-MY-GOD...My head is spinning from all the information on this site.

Its like CNN- no ATS

CNBC- no ATS

ABC, NBC,CBS- no ATS.... Its overwhelming

thanks for reply.

Peady-

Well appreciating and understanding how great ATS is a step in the right direction for a long lasting relationship.

Amen

Peady,
You certainly aren't the only one addicted to Above Top Secret.

I became an addict to ATS the first time I came across the site.
I didn't join right away. Like yourself, I lurked. But I was a daily lurker.
I found myself coming back to ATS, over and over again, every time I went on-line.
Finally, I simply admitted to myself that I was addicted and resigned myself to my fate of being AWARE. I decided to Deny Ignorance and strive to for knowledge and critical thinking.

I am benevolent tyrant and I am an ATS addict.

Hello- I'm DGtempe and i'm an addict.

I wouldnt have it any other way!!!!!

If someone can find a better addiction... keep it for yourself!

bt,
The truth is that everyone here is addicted to ATS....Thats right..... EVERYONE!!!.

The first step is addmitting that you are an addict. (as I learnd in AA) this is not a bad thing....

To deny Ignorance is a good thing....

Thank you for your post....I am not alone!!!!!

Peady-

Yes, web addiction is real. So is addiction to places like this.
No, I'm not addicted. I USED to be addicted to places like this, but then I detached.

DGTEMPE,
Thanks for posting..
We need to give this a name....People who are addicted to ATS ......ATS AA ?
how does this sound?
Man This web site RULES!!!!
PEADY-

The members who you will come to know and love, are the addicts of ATS.

Unfortunate not everyone is an addict, and not everyone loves ATS. Some come to preach their cause or hatred, and are quickly shown the door. Some days on ATS are better than others. But the one thing that never changes is the level of conversation within this site.

For those that are willing to open the mind and willing to learn, it is endless.

When I first joined ATS, 9/11 was something that seemed slightly fishy. Nothing major, but just a few I's to be dotted and T's to be crossed. After twenty minutes on ATS, I realized there were alot of questions out there to be answered. Some more absurd than others, but alot remained relavent.

The media was another aspect I was ignorant too. The biased shown in our national broadcasts was another issue that had never crossed my mind. Why lie I thought. I was severly infected with naivety.

Thanks to ATS, I have opened my eyes.

ATS merely shows you the other side of the coin.

ATS Anonymous?

But i'm not trying to break the habit.:shk: I love it here...its my home page and i'm here till i get banned.

I've lived, breathed, and been on this site for years now. I wouldnt go anyplace else where nobody cares and nobody answers your posts and the only person on is the moderator. AT least here there are people around...or are they?
You dont suppose its empty of humans and its just the avatars talking???

DG your are scary.

This is one of the best site ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After I found this site and spend sometime I found out how much I didn't know and now everyone knows I'm updated and the go to guy to find out what happen in the world.

dgtempe,

This is a good habit...

We are fighting the good fight.

It doesnt matter if we are scholars,mods, owners we are all here for one cause....

To DENY IGNORANCE!!!!!!!!

I think the First step is to identify who we are and what we repesent..

Then tell the world!!!!!!
