ATS really is a CIA disinfo operation **PROOF**

Ok so last night I was just fooling around on the net as usual when I decided to run a whois search on abovetopsecret I was pretty surprised when I got the results below

So I took a quick screen grab which you can see here
screen grab

I was assuming that it was some kind of an April fools joke on the part of SO or Springer but when I go to the same site today it all seems to have changed back again and look perfectly normal

Then this morning something even stranger happened. I tried to log in to my ATS account and was immediately redirected to this page

again you can see the full page here

A joke is a joke guys but this one is
pretty over the top if you ask me
really
It isn't funny and I'm not
laughing

For gods sake I'm freaking out thinking about all of the info I've put up on this site beeing
overlooked by some sort of shady government agency
or a bunch of spooks. Can someone clarify this for me or perhaps
let me in on the joke?

ermm edit to add
I just noticed the date that the domain expires on too

Same thing happened to me earlier Dave, nice to see it wasn't just me.

Edit: Seems that half of my HDD has mysteriously vanished after posting that, what the hell guys?!

Sounds like a pretty good April Fool's joke to me.
or COINTELPRO!

I'm pretty sure this is all a bunch of bull crap.

AAAHHH! Do I have time to delete my profile? I hope this is an April Fool's joke at its best by ATS or by you.

That's not cool. Flagging in hopes of getting an explanation.

I'm scared to post!

It's a joke, and these types of jokes have taken a very bad spin in the past:
