New ATS Owner [Was: ATS WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE]

Lots of gratitude to the New Owners.

I don't know what I'd do without the wealth of resources and discussion here at ATS.

Thank you!

Members don't decide what is and isn't a T&C infraction.

Well, sometimes I give myself an T&C infraction warning and the accompanying point reduction. I donate my points along with a basket of choco let chip cookies to some member that seems down on their luck. It's the least I can do for such a loving community.

Agree with you that chocolate chip cookies should well be a medium of exchange in this broken world. ;o)

That being the case, I'm wealthy beyond my wildest dreams!!!!

I spent thousands of hours when
I was a teen a decade ago trying to get around the
ATS TNC raging against it not understanding
how much of a cesspool and REAL CENSORSHIP
the internet would become today without it.

Left or Right we all abide T N C

WE ALL GET TO #ING TALK ATLEAST HERE UNLIKE THE OTHER SITES !!!

thank you guys for everything .

I started here prior to 2006 with my first account dnero6911, I really miss the atmosphere here way back then.

I ended up creating a new account shortly after dnero6911 because I didn't really like that username.

I was "PuRe EnErGy" and I was quite active around that time.

I wasn't aware of the ownership change or any of that, I wish I was around.

It seems like sort of a ghost-town around here now compared to how bustling it used to be with BelowTopSecret.com going too.

Long story short ...

I recently tried to log in with my original account: "PuRe EnErGy"
but it looks like my account has been compromised.
I was still using an old password of mine that ended up in a data-leak and it looks like someone hacked my account here on AboveTopSecret.com ...

It tells me that my password is incorrect. I tried to do a password recovery but it is telling me that my email address is wrong (which I know it isn't because I still have my original welcome email from 2006)

So I'm kind of stuck but I would really like to be able to access my original account "PuRe EnErGy"
Original Account

I tried to contact ATS weeks ago but I haven't gotten any replies.

Could someone help a brother out?

all the accounts / passwords here got hackerized so we all had to start over. some of us made new accounts, some were able to get the old ones reset.

Will the new ATS owner man up and talk to the members here and explain things , We are patiently waiting

Who are you asking?

The Mods?

I think based on what they've posted they know as little as we do at this point.

The whole situation is absurd.

a reply to: SchrodingersRat


Affirmative, Mr. Rat.

ETA: You resonate as a "Mr." to me. If I've guessed in error, my profound apologies. You, after all, exist in a quantum paradox condition of both alive rat and dead rat, and try as I might, I cannot imagine a female choosing to accept such a state. I've been wrong before.

I was hoping someone close to the owner would come out of the woodwork and give the members a answer to what is going on with the site .

But a few hints that the real owner may be in jail have come across in answers in threads

www.biblegateway.com...:30&version=NIV

The truth will come out some day , but I fear it will be to late for me to find out

a reply to: stonerwilliam

I don't know where you came up with that idea. Not that it's impossible.

I think Skeptic Overlord (former owner) said the new owner owns multiple businesses.
Even running one business can be very time consuming and require a lot of attention, so if running several, it may just be this site is low on his priority list and he's busy with other matters more important to him. If this site isn't profitable, and there's no easy way to make it so, all the more reason to not make it a priority versus other priorities (though it would be nice to see this site survive somehow).

Anyway, we may never know.

Mr. fits just fine.

And I agree, no self respecting female would ever accept such a state.

I'd ask my friend Mr. Heisenberg about it, but he's been very uncertain lately.

Poor fellow...

I've tried to explain to him that many women are often wrong, but they're never uncertain. And he needs that in his life.

a reply to: Arbitrageur
Really?

I've seen the jail thing eluded to as well here.

But also, that the new owners bought it, just for revenge anyway, to shut it down.. hints of "oh look, a chicken" were involved.

So many theories, but the bottom line sure isn't looking good for the continuation of the site.
Many have at least made an account, to Deny Ignorance.
Hence a few mods with that in their signatures.

Lotsa head-scratching, just like in yer avatar.

Reading page one of this thread : one might get the impression that everything was gonna be sunny-side up.

Later : we learned that the whole transaction was done through intermediary attorneys, so the three amigos never actually knew who was buying.

We heard that there was no way of contacting the new owners, other than through those intermediary lawyers, and that messages were sent, but no return.

Then go back and read page one again.

Nice meeting y'all.

Keep on drillin Will !

That's funny! There are always those in our lives that are never uncertain, but often wrong. It's a process.

Of that, we can be certain.
