I Finally Joined, After A Long Time Lurking

I found ATS a few years ago, and have been lurking for some time now. I don't usually get involved in groups 'n stuff, but I decided to join today. It's nice to know that there are so many people who think outside the box ~ also many for whom there is no box. I find the various topics and views here interesting. I'm just happy to finally be a part of it.
Hi To All...

You will do well here if you promise never to use the sentence "outside the box".

Just kidding, welcome aboard and express yourself freely.

welcome to ATS teejay. i hope your not one of those " skeptics "

im kidding of course, as said previously, express yourself

Hiyah TeeJay....

And please don't use the word "empowered" unless you have a Midol drip ready for me

Welcome to ATS and happy posting!

Hi and welcome. I was a lurker too for a while but recently became a member - gotta be careful though , don't know about you but I feel my geek rating has been going through the roof ever since!
Enjoy.

Hi TeeJay and welcome to ATS. Jump right in and start posting and enjoy yourself. Stop by BTS sometime to relax, grab a good joke and hang out for a little chit-chat. It's a great place to get to know the other members.

Welcome TeeJay,

Good to see a long time lurker join us, i was one of those. I thought i was addicted to ATS before i joined, boy was i wrong.

You will find this to be a wonderful community. Enjoy your time and remember to wear your TinHat and Deny Ignorance.

Here are some helpful links to help get you started on your ATS journey:

Also, like hsur2112 said, don't forget to stop by BTS for everything else that doesn't fit in ATS.

Many of your questions can be answered by visiting this thread; Index of Important Website Related Threads *Read First* This thread is invaluable for all the frequently asked questions about this site and what you can do here.

the ATS Handbook can answer a lot of your questions about the site as well, it's quite informative and helpful if you have questions regarding your Avatar, Signature, or purchasing perks in the ATS Store.

Points are a valuable commodity around ATS and some members want to know how to gain points quickly. There are several ways to do this. One is to podcast, Podcasting if you don't already know is kind of like making your own little radio show about some subject that you’re interested in. Also contributing to TinWiki is a great way to make some points in a big hurry. Also by joining up with Twitter, you can get a lot of points right of the bat.

In BTS (our sister board) one can also find fun games and contests that are happening now, and also get you those points. By signing up with ATS you are automatically signed up for BTS as well, all you need to do is log in and join in the fun with the rest of us.

One should also familiarize themselves with the Terms And Conditions Of Use for proper ATS etiquette and site rules, this helps everyone avoid problems.

Again welcome to ATS and I hope you have a great time around the site, if you have any questions and have met the requirements to do so, please feel free to U2U me anytime about any questions you might have. I would love to be able to help you whenever you need it.
