I think DTOM has her own forum now. Maybe this is what you are looking for?

Deny Ignorance

As mentioned, not my site. But I do help moderate there.

There is no one at the helm on ATS, and there hasn't been for many months now.
ATS is a rudderless ship......with no way to update anything. Or fix what breaks.

What about the spirit being that fixed it in October?

He "fixed" it so we could reset the email and passwords for members.
From my understanding, there is no way to make changes to the database without Admin credentials, which we cannot assign.

IOW, SAMO SAMO...

We can still warn, remove posts, post ban and ban members.
We can still maintain a level of decorum.

That makes sense. I’m trying to connect dots here. Seems uncanny that you and Djarums ‘administrator’ credentials were removed before all this took place. Almost seems like it was all intentional. Is that your feeling? I understand if you don’t want to comment publicly.

I wonder if the new owners happened to be banned members out for some revenge?
Just throwing noodles at the wall to see if they stick.

a reply to: KKLOCO

All I can say is darko was here. We were suddenly not Admins.

I cannot say what was on his mind. Or what his plans were for ATS and its all-volunteer staff.

That’s a lot of coin to spend simply for revenge.

However, this has been done in the past, many times over. It takes a tremendous narcissist, coupled with deep pockets for it to happen.

a reply to: DontTreadOnMe

Most of us appreciate the all voluntary staff.

It would be nice if others did more. Particularly, the owner.

Malice, or indifference? I lean towards the latter.

a reply to: randomtangentsrme

I just don't like the format.

Or maybe I'm simply getting old and stuck in my ways. LoL

a reply to: DontTreadOnMe

Is there still no contact with any of the owners as the time draws close or any way of doing so?

a reply to: yeahright

Agreed. As well as the patriot supply company, they now run a CBD company, and numerous other failing business ventures. They're like scam artists that just set up another tent in another town when things don't work out to their liking. It's not malicious. He's just a loser.

Never having joined one I assume it is AOL Chat model, or something akin.
Not trying to be a Luddite. But the further we progress, the further we regress.

a reply to: andy06shake

We have absolutely no method to contact.
No email, no numbers, nothing.

That is just strange, the whole situation is very bizarre.

Curios if anyone has talked to Mark about the situation? I know SO chimed in awhile ago but I haven’t talked or heard from Springer in a long time and wondering if anyone has heard from him?

a reply to: KrustyKrab

He's the only one I havent been in touch with. I've even spoken to Simon briefly. Simon and Bill were both kind, but I think they've moved one. Although Simon did say he'd join DI eventually as a member, and we'd love to have him. For all of those who haven't gone back and read Simons original postings, please do.

a reply to: theshadowknows

Okay, thx for the info. I haven’t talk to him in years so wasn’t sure what he was up to. I know those guys have pretty much washed their hands and moved on. Not my monkeys, not my circus🤣

That’s very cool Simon did that, I had no idea, kudos to him👍
