I joined ATS in 2012, became addicted on the first day. Spent years being very active in making threads and participating in others. I made many friends while there.
Even though most of my topics were on the fringe side, most people swarmed to my threads; seems people like that sort of thing regardless of being afraid to admit it.
I don't remember exactly when it was that the old ATS started banning people left and right, and then started with all the ads popping up, but that is when I lost a bunch of friends there. I felt very saddened and alone. I only had a couple of friends left after all that.
I stayed low key after that and just lurked for the most part. There was still one active thread of mine that I needed to tend to. It was my second thread after joining, and it is still active today, although I have said my good-bye at the end of the thread now.
I have so many wonderful threads I made over at ATS, and others I subscribed to that I hate to lose; such a huge loss!
I feel your pain too.
I've been active with RN since the beginning; dragged all my threads on different boards until we settled for this one, RN3. This is my home now, and I can tell you it's a great place to be.
