He was referencing the political environment on ATS and how the 2016 election changed the atmosphere. I just managed to see it before it was removed.
I'm not trying to get off topic either. Just some context on what he meant.

As much as Simon used to get harassed, I genuinely don't see a NDA as a reg flag alone. ATS has attracted some real crazies over the years, so I understand wanting to be anonymous. I just don't think its possible in today's world.
From what I understand, the new ownership was pretty convincing at ensuring everyone that they genuinely cared about ATS. It's a shame that was a lie, but there's no shortage of con-men in the world. Anyone can be had.
23 years is a hell of a run though. I'm proud of that number, and I'm proud to have been a part of it then and now. The evolution of ATS is one of my favorite bits of life's nostalgia.

It wasnt politics that killed ATS, it was the new owner dropping the ball. Were all capable of scrolling past mudpit threds, we're not all capable of
paying the hosting/domain.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
It's okay. Different people have different ways of dealing with stress......... and loss. We are all dealing with this thing -- this ATS meltdown thing -- in our own way.
As it turns out, I kind of took offense as you did in Zanti's abrupt announcement, however, look..... we're all in this together, yes? Zanti, apparently, wants us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and deal with it like warriors. I have no problem with that. I have no problem with people gnashing their teeth or stamping their feet.
I think we deal with the possible meltdown of ATS in our own way, and we need to afford each other the grace to do so also. That is what I think.As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
Thank You Kind Sir .

Hmm.......Here's an Idea . " Someone " with some " Pull " get in contact with Elon and Make a Pitch to him about " Maybe " getting him to make a Safe Investment in acquiring ATS . God Only Knows this Site could be a Great Outlet for his Personal Views on things Without having to answer to the Corporate Ghouls that Haunt him Every Day over the running of X . At Best , it would be a Great Tax Write Off come April 15th and his Inventive Tech Savvy could Turn this Site into a Real Great Place for Free Public Discourse On ALL Topics Again .

I seriously doubt Musk would want to keep ATS as it has (mostly) been for all these years, someone that doesn't like criticisms is not the best person to understand what a discussion board is.

I really hope the lights stay on....I've spent twenty good years making sure the Intellegence Agencies have a comprehensive profile on my brand of
weird.
I even pimped put my Profile Page with all the bells and whistles!
If we go dark I don't know how I'll start over.

I wouldn't worry about that. Lights on or no, if they ever wanted it, they'll have it forever.

In the greatest conspiracy of the millennium : the universe's premiere conspiracy theory website is wrangled from those that birthed it and loved
it.
Bamboozled by swift-talking lawyers.
I want to thank all that birthed and maintained the site over those years.
It's just a bit sad that it all comes down to money, and lying lawyers.

I just need a copy for my own records....but I have no idea how to scrape my contributions to print and file away in a binder on my shelves for people to find after my death.
It's easy get a listing of your own posts. Once you do that, you can open each post and print it.
It's going to be a labor-intensive and time consuming process, but it can definitely be done.
If you're a prolific poster make sure you have plenty of paper and replacement ink nearby.
Let me know how you make out.

I'm not super prolific, but it's twenty years worth.
I'm kind of on a tight budget, so I might just copy cut paste to a dedicated .pdf and print later.

No need to cut and paste. If you are using Windows PC, you should have the option to print to pdf directly.
Right click a page and select print; the option should be present in the drop-down menu of available printers.
