RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - PLOTUS - 12-12-2020 I would suggest that Phage is a member of RN3 as well as DTOM aka Don't tread on me. All are welcome here at Rogue Nation, and anyone can enter. There are a host of other names, many former members that we will recognize from the ranks of Above Top Secret. I believe they see us as a safety net against the demise of ATS if it did indeed disappear. We will grow and survive on our own merits, not on Laurels. In truth.... "the more people watching the sky, the more likely we are to see something" and that goes with our peculiar kind of sites. More is better, there is room..... oh..... and Phage......... that stuff is disgusting in real life, but anything John Lithgow brings smiles to my face...... how about the rest of you ? RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - NightskyeB4Dawn - 12-12-2020 Was talking with a local pastor just last week that teaches Hebrew and eschatology. We started our conversation talking about named angels in the traditional Bibles, of course that led us to the book of Enoch. An interesting book indeed. As is all the apocryphal books. I agree, they definately have there place among the land of the conspiracy theories. RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - Mystic Wanderer - 12-12-2020 I joined ATS in 2012. I was addicted immediately. I couldn't wait to get home from work to read the threads. I'd get up an hour early just to have time to check things out before getting ready to leave for work. I made MANY threads on the paranormal, UFOs, and mostly all "fringe" topics. People responded to my threads in droves, and I became well known by people searching out those topics. It was great while it lasted, but when they (ATS) said they would charge people who didn't accept ads, everyone started leaving, others got booted off for little reason. Things started sliding downhill very quickly from that point. Most all the people I called friends were gone. I went through withdrawals; that's the closest description I can call it. Then, later, a new site for all those who left ATS was formed: Hernando's Hideaway. That was a good site for a long time. Then it split and half the people there left to come to Rogue Nation. I stayed on both sites for a while, but eventually landed here full time. There were also a couple of others sites that branched off too, but they only lasted a short time. Good sites, but they never could get enough people to stick it out and keep their sites going. Rogue Nation has lasted through it all, and I'm still here. I'm happy to hear that ATS will survive. I have so many threads there that are pure gold and took me through a journey that I don't want to lose in my memory. It's like my journal for 2012 up until just a few years ago. Losing that would be like losing a part of myself. RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - NightskyeB4Dawn - 12-12-2020 Quote:Hernando's Hideaway. That was a good site for a long time. Wow! I loved that place. How could I have forgotten it? RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - PLOTUS - 12-12-2020 "I'm happy to hear that ATS will survive.

Lets hope one day everything internet will be archived somewhere.

I've changed my interests since coming to RN, but I think I still have many topics from 2016 that would interest people looking for "fringe" threads. If we EVER get through all this election/political crap, I'll get back to posting more threads on other topics, but for now, saving my country and waking people up is my main focus. Again, thanks for the compliment.

Sure, they're still breathing, but is that really LIVING? Exactly. I'd throw in the occasional political rant over there when somebody, a politician, deserved it. But I never attacked another member. In my book, they are as entitled to their opinion as I am. Labeling members with an opinion contrary to yours as a "government shill" has become very common at ATS.

Yeah, he should probably stick to technical subjects, because they are his forte and he is very sharp, very good with them. Politics clearly is not, and he tends to get tied up in political discussions pretty badly. He can be led around in circles in them all day long, and never get anywhere. . RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - Wallfire - 12-13-2020 Just wondering what all the fascination about ATS is.

RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - Wallfire - 12-13-2020 Sorry people but reading the comments it seems to me like a group of people pining after old long gone girl/boy friends . Still humans are humans RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - PLOTUS - 12-13-2020 And you could be right. Reading through the different posts both here and there, I was struck by the numbers they were throwing around. $25,000 a month to keep it functioning. ??? Well.... that seems substantial for the site. While it has run well, run long and was an internet favorite, it's time is slipping away. Mystery is becoming a dying topic. There will always be curiosity and a hunger for mysterious topics and fringe sources of information, but ultimately it will be taken as entertainment. $25K a month works out to $300K a year, or more unbelievable $800+ a day.. Despite the celebration and diminishing angst, they are not out of the woods.

The only way one could run bills like that up is lining your pockets, or/and using a IT firm to run it. Perhaps they are using the site to mine Bit Coin RE: ATS WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO LIVE - Chiefsmom - 12-14-2020 I will say, ATS was the first site I found, when I went digging into conspiracy theories way back. When I finally joined, I liked it for the "instant" information breaking around the world. For some reason, the people I was always drawn to actually enjoy conversing with, ended up banned. That sucked. Then I saw over the years the "cliqueyness" and that turned me off, as well as how down right mean a few could be. Do I still check it out? Sure. Not as much breaking news it seems like though. If it makes it, good for them. But I do see it changing. If that is good or bad, only time will tell. I'm glad we have chat here! |
