How strange, I read your comment right as jeopardy came on in the background

I also would like a pm to possible new sites. I am trying to wake people up to Q and you all are so talented in deciphering!!!

Losing my online refuge of the last 16+ years is a fitting end to this crappy year.

We all knew it was coming, but it still sucks to see. We need all the 'psychics' and 'prohpets' who have been here over the years to post up the winning Powerball numbers so we can save the site.

I wonder how many terabytes of data here?

It's been stated publicly, can't remember who it was. Probably SO during the original thread in response to questions.

It's 40gb for the main site and 1.5tb of image storage.

So less than $100 to back it all up then.

that's really tiny for a site that's been around so long.

If we have to say, "Hail Hydra" with the new owners, I'm going to be pissed!

Twitter or Facebook might buy AboveTopSecret.com, just to stop us from calling out how Anti-America they are.

It really sucks to see this great place on the brink of destruction. I've been coming here since probably around 05 ish I'd say. I used to live on the ufo boards when my dad got stationed at the naval war college, I was so down and depressed but also found such refuge in this (then) bustling site. I hope someone of good conscience buys it before its gone forever.

Being an owner of a few web ventures with one in development now. The way I see this there’s a reason it’s being unloaded. That reason would need to be divulged since it greatly affects monetary value. Also, the books would need to be reviewed on out going and support costs. Revenue, does the site generate revenue? Whoever purchased site would need to recoup investment. Thus they will have to charge something for use of site. Plus it has to be worth it. I mean you can watch this go down in flames after that a few with some savvy can make a clone type site pick up where it left off. I’d definitely consider it but I feel it’s a smash and grab and disclosure on why and what a perspective buyer is facing.

FWIW...I don't do FB or any other social media. This is pretty much it for me.

When ATS is gone, so will I be. Sadly.

End of an era.

Sad days.

This is sad , the end of free speech and community ? What happens to archive ?

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk
