Help ATS Get to 100,000 Twitter Followers

Ok so I now have a twitter account.

The only reason it exists is because of this thread. I may never log back into it ever again.

Ya me too. I probably will never sign back on again either. But I also said I would never get the internet or a cell phone.

I know it might sound weird, but I'm willing to bet well written "gloom and doom" threads would get the most attention

Not really, look at the second and third post in this thread, they show the top 48 most-engaging tweets of 2015 so far. There's a really good mix of ATS threads that are indeed quality topics.

How about clemency for some of the banned posters. A lot of good posters got banned in recent months.

It is worth pointing out, that the above would not fit into a tweet.

You don't have much faith in me, do you. That's sad. Did you really expect ATS to do "normal" tweets? Really?

I just tweeted that, and the link goes to your post.





Game. Set. Match.



Edit to add…

It's "trending!" You already got a favorite and three retweets.

Anyone who is banned is welcome to contact us via email and discuss their situation. That always has been, and always will be a wide-open option.

I thought I was following ATS for years, oops. Followed.

What were you following before?

Actually it looks like 9/11 threads FTW. Of course, who wouldn't want to see some Sasquatches on a volcano?!?

UFOs crush 9/11 on Twitter. Look again.

Granted, but what about a sasquatch flying a UFO out of a volcano?

That would break the Internets.

Ok, I can see that, skimming through it again. But still, 9/11 gets a lot of attention. Maybe we need more members to start good threads about Ufo's on 9/11!! Oh boy what a riot that would be!

While both are interesting, I always click the threads that mention impending doom first! I guess that's what makes me the red-headed step child around here.

Wait for it... The U.S. Senate, the CIA and NSA fellas, flying in a UFO with Jimmy Carter, landing on Downing Street, picking up the boys at MI5 and 6, and exposing a Volcano that had been hidden for centuries in the Vatican.

Done...

Best. Thread. Ever.

Even more flags than the famous Untersberg - The Mystery Mountain !! It would be pure chaos around here.

I also have bit the bullet.... and joined this abomination of a website / social media thing

Only to show support and help ATS in the small way I can

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

I sold my soul also . Have i become what i hate . Hell no , never go to twitter again .

This really isn't on topic, but I think it would help if you get an easier way of finding someone has PM'd you or replied to you. I realize it is not that buried away. But it took me a while to figure it out. The way Facebook does it is instantaneous and very easy to find. Maybe the programming to implement something like that is difficult, but there is no doubt of its effectiveness.

twits use twitter

It's also a false rumour service that governments and lazy journalists use

I would help but my old twitter account was hijacked and locked. I don't want to go through the hassle to reclaim it.
