Thanks for allowing me to join

Hi guys,

My name is Jamie and I'm 27 years old, nearly 28, so I'm still a youngster really. I'm from England (I'm actually from the south of the country, but for reasons that are too long to list here I now live in the South West in quite a quiet area really). I am blind like Roy Tim, who isn't a very good person, but as a positive I am autistic, or should I say, I have Autism, just like Sanni Ceto, the human-Zeti hybrid. Blindness isn't a negative for me, it's just who I share it with who has a bad rep here. It says nothing about me as a person. I am also, however, a diagnosed epileptic, and I have Cerebral Palsy, but I don't let any of these things hold me back in any way.

One thing you will need to know. I have a screen reader on my computer which will read out everything on the screen that you are typing so I know what you are saying. As a result, photos will show up as blank images, so if you want to put a photo in your response to me, say if you are demonstrating a point or something, you will need to describe that photo to me. Sometimes, in rare exceptions, I will be able to use OCR which is built-in to my screen reader to be able to recognise the photo (it uses optical character recognition to scan what's in the photo and project it as text, if it's a screenshot of something; if it's an image of something it won't work), but mostly you will need to describe photos to me that you submit in post replies. Or if I ask for descriptions of images you have posted, please just describe the images you have posted.

I will hopefully really enjoy my time on this board, and I will hopefully get a lot of stimulation and discussion out of it.

Thanks for joining.
Curious minds want to know.

If I was to do do do do turutu tutuu something like this, will I accidentally trigger an epilepsy attack?

Does it read out emojis? What about question marks?

Hi Jamie

I just spent a week on the River Wye, maybe not as south west or as south as you but still a beautiful part of the country.

Godspeed.

Hi Jamie and welcome to ATS!

England is great! I have lots of family up in Yorkshire where I was born. I’m Canadian now.

What sort of conspiracy things perk your interest?

Ghosts and goblins?

UFOs?

NWO?

CERN?

Ask questions, we got answers!

Hi There " trancer ", and welcome to the Introductions Forum, a place to say hello to the ATS community!

For now, you can reply to any thread in any of the forums of your choosing, as well as send & receive Private Messages (PM's) to Staff (only for now). Once you have achieved 5 posts, you will then be able to start your own threads and additionally send & receive messages to and from fellow ATS members.

Here's some handy links, important must read links (and more links).

Terms & Conditions Of Use (Please read, we take these very seriously and so should you!).

Start Here - ATS Freshmans Forum A cornocopia of almost every thing a new ATS Freshman would want under one roof.

Hey new members!! Come here if you need advice This section includes how to Contact Staff, make Alerts and help maintain the ATS Discussion Etiquette.

Starting a New Thread ?... Look Here First
Great information as we want your thread to get the visibility it deserves, so make sure you've got great content backed-up with links (so we can see it for ourselves), and then add your thoughts on the subject matter.

IMPORTANT: Using Content From Other Websites on ATS. Before you link a website in your post or thread, please read this.

How to upload an avatar/profile picture with instructions and so much more .

Uploading Pictures unto Post-2013 ATS, Serving up member's pictures and snapshots since the retooling of ATS back in 2013, and here's a little secret on your Picture uploads. Always make sure they 'end' with one of these three formats; jpg, gif, png... (a jpeg needs to be changed to .jpg to be accepted as only 3 letter formats are accepted).

Take your time and enjoy, ATS is a pretty large place

There's a lot of great spots to explore and share your comments in. Being this large it's safe to say that not everyone is going to agree with what you might say. And actually that's a good thing as this allows all voices, theories and ideas to come out for discussion.

But be aware that sometimes, people's conviction's can get the better of them and they might attack the person and not the subject being discussed. This is when the T&C's are your friend and on your side. Please notify us of 'their offense' immediately by using the complaint/alert feature. To report an offense, find the little "top-torso-person silhouette" to 'click-on' in their avatar/meme area, make sure the post that your wanting to alert us about is where you click 'that alert' from. These reports are reviewed by staff as we take all complaints and Alerts seriously.

Some areas will require a thicker-skin for discussion and debating and they can get rather heated (in certain arenas). Other areas require you having an open-mind and a need to consider thoughts and theories that don't fit the 'norm'. If you like to tip-toe in to darker areas, you'll find 'like-minded' and curious members that are also into UFO's, the Paranormal, Cryptids and Conspiracies.

There's also places to just chill and cool-down from all the craziness and frustrations of this wild world. Whether it's showing off your artwork in Member Art, or sharing a piece of music you like or created in the Music forum. Maybe you'd like to toss in your "2 Cents" in the General Chit Chat forum.

If you like to read (and compose) good stories, there's a few places for the "mighty fine creative minds" of ATS to hang out at.... including one my favorites the "Short Stories" forum.

And finally... remember these words as "you" are responsible for "your" posts, so please..... " Post unto others as you would have them post unto you!! "
