But in all honesty the question seems pretty redundant to me... we all post here knowing it's a public message board where anyone can read what we post. I bet ATS has been data-mined plenty of times, by intelligence agencies and by universities doing research. It's not like any of those other forums are any more protected from the same type of data-mining. What makes them think their posts on their forum aren't being monitored and collected?edit on 2/10/2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)
It is commonly believed in these communities that ATS is in fact an experimental website where members are given data and their reaction and/or knowledge is observed and recorded.
I know the truth. And even if I didn't, I have enough software on my computer to know what packets are coming and going. And from where

Heff,
I notice you spend a lot of time defending ATS. In this instance you go to great lengths. One might go as far as to say you're a "Dis-Info" Specialist....Forgive the persona attack but you brought your persona into the mix. Remember we are just profiles here.
NOW in Regard to the OP
What all fail to recognize is that ATS is nothing other than a monetary gain (Zionist) on the psychological aspects of Terror Management Theory.
every click, log on, gets paid. With the rebel towards Capitalism, why do they KEEP CLICKING ON? every click, log on, gets paid
Fear.....Terror Management Theory

ATS is a LAB and we are the RATS

I think the most interesting angle on this topic, is that a variety of groups may indeed use ATS and other such forums to run trial balloons on a number of ideas and issues.
This data would then be analyzed and rehashed to the general public in such a way as to control perception and world view.
Awareness of such tactics would go a long way in keeping such groups from falsely altering paradigms.
Does the structure and function of stories vary considerably across cultural contexts or is there a universal theory of story?
How can we take stories and make them quantitatively analyzable in a rigorous, transparent and repeatable fashion?
What analytic approaches or tools best establish a framework for the scientific study of the psychological and neurobiological impact of stories on people?

I'VE NOTICED, that Heff is a very good Moderator, who writes great threads and participates in forums quite often as just a poster. As for your comment, if there was a MOD who didn't defend ATS when it was needed, thats when I would question them/their motivation for moderating and being here. It's kind of getting silly how many people try and call him a "dis-info" agent. Take two seconds to go to his page and read his threads, he seems like a pretty normal person to me. If you had already I don't think you would be calling him such things.

Yes I would still come here and yes I would still post. Just so they have that statistical anomaly in their research. A bit of random chaos to keep them on their toes.
