Perhaps that will be our ace in the hole. As long as we stay united in our desire to learn the truths that are hidden in plain sight, we will stand. No power on earth can shatter a united front. Perhaps, if we can continue to resist the urge to find an oppressor, even where none exist, we can survive the attacks.

Here's a little secret: the titles at ATS, for the most part, held little meaning for those who wore them. They held meaning only in the mind of those who did not. That is why many who received titles quit posting as regularly: they did not want the power that other members gave them and felt as though they were no longer a part of the membership. I fought that myself. Maybe I was just not smart enough to let that win.
There is another small but HUGE thing operating here. One knows what member is responding positively or negatively to your posts. Accolades or frowns (stars by another name) are not anonymous. This keeps decency (respect of opinion) intact and trolling/baiting/rioting in check *naturally*. The Mob would not participate in this type of a fair exchange of ideas; even though an 'anonymous' site ones avatar or identity is exposed to the *villages* scrutiny.

That is a Fair Warning, Thank You and I'll keep that in the front of my mind, but I think the big difference between us and ATS is Monies and who pays for this site.
Totally paid for In-House and No Ads or Google and Your Content Will Never Be Sold.

Rogue nation is for our Members a place to get the Truth Out and Keep The Hungry Masses Inform and By Doing That, we Keep each other Informed.
I am very Proud that some many have accept Rogue Nation 3 as their New Home and by doing so, You and Everyone are now Family, You're Rogues!

Thank You @"TheRedneck" for being here with us and looking out for our future, that means a lot. minusculebeercheers

I hope I have not stepped on anyone's toes or upset anyone. If so I apologize.  :smalleyeroll:



Which is where the name "Rogue" fits us being as we are not sheeple.
We are critical thinkers, think for ourselves, not what the MSM tells us
We don't like to be labeled or place in a group.

We are awake.

And "Nation"  is we are united as one.



*ROGUE NATION*



Let them come for us.
We will fight and stand up for our beliefs

Screw the Elitist/TPTB/Deep State/MSM

Now you got my curiosity up. That sounds book worthy.   tinyfunny

I was not in your position so I have no inside track as to what was going on. I can only guess in the dark.  

I would say what you are spelling out has merit. They became a target. They could not overcome the pressure. Or maybe we as members could not overcome. IDK. But is seems social media platforms have a life span. Look how many have come and gone. That could play a part too. 

Will the same happen to RN3? Hard to say. If it is true and this site becomes a target, finances are unfortunately not the only avenue of approach. If we let it happen again, then shame on us.

Never gonna happen.

I guess I am unique among humans: the allure of green paper and numbers in a computer escapes me. I have everything I need right here. Money cannot buy me. I went so long doing so much with so little that I am now qualified to do anything with nothing... so I need nothing. I ran in the rat race; the rats won so I hung up my running shoes on those broken rungs in the corporate ladder. I own my home; I own my car; I own everything I have. The bank pays me interest... I do not pay it.

And I have never... been... freer!

I'm a moderator, not an overlord. I moderate, not dictate. For as long as I've held positions of leadership, especially out in the real world, I've led from the trenches, not from the office. Leaders lead from the front, not from the rear, and that means they HAVE to be in the trenches with the troopers. Leading from the rear is pushing, not leading. I'm a member first, a moderator as an afterthought. All it does is give me the ability to get some things done that folks can't do for themselves.

From what I've seen of all of the other moderators here, they are the same. They "lead" from a position of service, not from a position of power. They - we - are here for the members, not the other way around.

Folks will see that for themselves as they get more acclimated to RN3.

I've been trying to pronounce that ever since you posted it. I've concluded that it's impossible because there are not enough vowels, and they are in the wrong places. That letter at the beginning is not one I even recognize to know how to pronounce. What language is that? is it one of those "click languages"?

It is a breath of fresh air to see moderators acting as members. minusculebeercheers 

As for how to pronounce #WWG1WGA... that is a particular dialect from an outcast tribe of the Na'vi of Pandora. Pronunciation requires four sets of vocal cords and sinuses shaped like an inverse tuba. I think it roughly translates as "You go first."

First-off... hello! Next, your avatar is waiting, Sir! here's the link: The RedNeck.

I can personally say that if these fine people at Rogue Nation can make BIAD a 'Super Moderator' then it
shows the level of concern we have in regards of members steering their own decent self-responsibility!

Everyone is really a Moderator and from all my time here, I've never seen any 'backroom discussions' that
didn't involve the mundane tasks of running a website. No weird whispers, no 'he/she's not one of us' and
certainly no sense of cultism.

I mean, it's simply a place where folk can come and discuss ideas and those ideas are from the members.
No T-shirt purchasing, no innuendo to acquire funds because 'people need paying'... just people who want
to be here because they want to.
(But saying that, if you wish to donate underwear to BIAD, that's fine. I'm getting sick of seeing his junk)
tinysure

It always surprised me at ATS how much control was there and why it was exercised so readily. I can't
recall any time here at RN when any sort of stern management was used -except for the occasional porn
spammer or self-advertising gang that attempted to join.

I agree with you, it is a breath of fresh air!

I was already putting one together... just managed to finish it and upload it. A little darker... but I kinda like the way it turned out.

Now I have to decide which one I like more... tinyok ... my brain hurts...

What Redneck is saying is the truth that I believe has happened to ATS.  The "loss revenue from advertisers" was nothing but a BS screen to hide the truth.  ATS's demise is not due to money.  It is due to ATS members sharing the truth of what is going on in the world.

The truth being said about the Covid 19 and BLM riots was too much for ATS's government handlers to allow.  They are the Sandy Hook of topics that those in power don't want discussed.  Um, I can still say "Sandy Hook" on RN can't I and connect it with stories of multiple shooters and actors posing as victims?

It saddens me that ATS has turned into the brain dead version of what it once was.

You can say 'Sandy hook' here, pose theories on what happened and even make anagrams if you wish!

I guess I am in good company, because I don't remember ever seeing the acronym before a couple of months ago, and didn't know what it stood for until I looked it up.

I just have not been able to get pass the massive "Q" threads you find everywhere you go. It has truly been overwhelming for me. Maybe when things calm down a bit with all the other stuff that is going on, I will have time to decipher the "Q" mystery. 

Now don't laugh at me. [Image: tinycrying.png]

For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not. 

Yet I still post.  tinyinlove

I pray that works here. I see differences in the way moderation is approached. May those differences be enough.

I like your common sense, Sir !

Admins, Super Mods or members, friendliness comes first and foremost. In those years here, I think we've temporarily post banned one individual (which was way over the top) once and have never used the ban hammer.

If a war comes to our door to implement a debate on our freedom of speech policies, unity should make the difference, no matter what the title is.

But we must realize that discussion forums may already have a target on their back. Big or small. Future will tell. :)
 In  all my years online i have never used foul language or called members xxxxs etc etc  even in real life i very rarely use a swear word in a sentence , I have a weird sense of humour and just like a lol online , some people can forget about world time when Modding some sites and get a ban for posting a funny picture at 2 am there time where a mod is viewing it at 8 pm their time seconds later . minusculebeercheers

What a strange collectivist concept! Where I go makes most normal folks pee on themselves a little bit - are they sure they want to follow me in there? No, seriously - stop following me! I got enough of that when I was a kid, and it still creeps me out a bit!

Kinda sorta. Can't make out the first word, but the rest says "... we (space) go (space) one (space) we (space) go (space) all (space)". The first word is (something) e (something different) e, but I couldn't get it sorted.

That may be why I didn't know what it was if it's a "Q" thing. I avoid the psyop known as "Q" like the plague. I don't really need them trying to manipulate my thinking - it's warped enough as-is! 

I've already unraveled all of it I need to in order to know all I need to know about "Q".

BUT - I've no problem with the rest of the world sitting and waiting until hell freezes over for something Q said to actually come to pass. At least it keeps them busy. Waiting.
