No, it’s not a complaint actually...
More of a siren to attract folks for what could be a useful thread.
Apologies for the clickbait (I’m not really sorry).
Now and then over the last couple years, and very frequently in the last 12 months, we’ve had a massive influx of threads asking “what
happened?”, “where is the old ATS?”, “why so much politics?”... and so on...
These threads usually generate quite a bit of traffic, no matter how often they appear.
A lot of agreement, and a lot of “why don’t you be the change you want to see?” responses...
Then eventually the thread dies until the next pissed off member decides to vent their understandable frustrations.
While I fully agree ATS has become pretty predictable and, sadly, very establishment one could say...
I still believe those who tell those nostalgic members to do it themselves have a valid point.
But it got me thinking, not a lot of the membership here actually comments, let alone creates threads...
For many different reasons I’m sure...
So this is an invitation to those members to comment below, and rather than reminisce on the good old days, please tell us all what threads you’d
really like to see...
I myself, and maybe many others who do not mind creating a thread, will be happy to make them for you, time permitting.
Does that sound reasonable?
I do not judge those who want better, but for whatever reason refrain from thread creation...
Instead I make a simple request of you, list some to subjects, however far-fetched, fringe or frowned upon...
Suggestions of conspiracies you feel would be good for ATS discussion...
And I give my word, when I have time, I will make the threads for those who can’t.
Others may even join me in assisting you to bring topics here that are currently ignored due to the political addiction our beloved site is suffering
from, if what you suggests peaks their interest and they have the time to do so.
This is a genuine offer, and possibly the best solution, so please speak up now (not literally now, but when you read this)...
I can’t promise to see to every suggestion... But I will do my best.
This is a one time offer, in the sense that after this thread, I won’t be participating in/flagging any more “where is ATS” threads...
If you pass up on this then it kinda leads me to believe you don’t really want change, and that you just like to moan about things.
Show ATS you’re serious, give us the ammo, and we’ll do the loading and firing for you!
Peace!
