Hi, I'm Jools

Hello ATS!
It's been a while since I was a member of the site, but I was a member for years, back in the late 2000s/ early 2010s. It's awesome to see how much the place has grown, and still maintained the integrity and credibility. Here is my intro! I live in Queensland in Australia on a farm. My hobby is mixed martial arts. I'm excited to get to know the ATS family once again.
Thanks!!
Jools

Hi There " joolsgoanna ", and welcome to the Introductions Forum, a place to say hello to the ATS community!

For now, you can reply to any thread in any of the forums of your choosing, as well as send & receive Private Messages (PM's) to Staff (only for now). Once you have achieved 20 posts, you will then be able to start your own threads and additionally send & receive messages to and from fellow ATS members.

Here's some handy links, important must read links (and more links).

Terms & Conditions Of Use (Please read, we take these very seriously and so should you!).

Start Here - ATS Freshmans Forum A cornocopia of almost every thing a new ATS Freshman would want under one roof.

Hey new members!! Come here if you need advice This section includes how to Contact Staff, make Alerts and help maintain the ATS Discussion Etiquette.

Starting a New Thread ?... Look Here First
Great information as we want your thread to get the visibility it deserves, so make sure you've got great content backed-up with links (so we can see it for ourselves), and then add your thoughts on the subject matter.

IMPORTANT: Using Content From Other Websites on ATS. Before you link a website in your post or thread, please read this.

Rules for Avatars and Mini-Profile Background images
This is the place to find "the how to's" and what sizes will work for your personal Avatar or Profile Pic.

Uploading Pictures unto Post-2013 ATS, Serving up member's pictures and snapshots since the retooling of ATS back in 2013, and here's a little secret on your Picture uploads. Always make sure they 'end' with one of these three formats; jpg, gif, png... (a jpeg needs to be changed to .jpg to be accepted as only 3 letter formats are accepted).

Take your time and enjoy, ATS is a pretty large place

There's a lot of great spots to explore and share your comments in. Being this large it's safe to say that not everyone is going to agree with what you might say. And actually that's a good thing as this allows all voices, theories and ideas to come out for discussion.

But be aware that sometimes, people's conviction's can get the better of them and they might attack the person and not the subject being discussed. This is when the T&C's are your friend and on your side. Please notify us of 'their offense' immediately by using the complaint/alert feature. To report an offense, find the little "top-torso-person silhouette" to 'click-on' in their avatar/meme area, make sure the post that your wanting to alert us about is where you click 'that alert' from. These reports are reviewed by staff as we take all complaints and Alerts seriously.

Some areas will require a thicker-skin for discussion and debating and they can get rather heated (in certain arenas). Other areas require you having an open-mind and a need to consider thoughts and theories that don't fit the 'norm'. If you like to tip-toe in to darker areas, you'll find 'like-minded' and curious members that are also into UFO's, the Paranormal, Cryptids and Conspiracies.

There's also places to just chill and cool-down from all the craziness and frustrations of this wild world. Whether it's showing off your artwork in Member Art, or sharing a piece of music you like or created in the Music forum. Maybe you'd like to toss in your "2 Cents" in the General Chit Chat forum.

If you like to read (and compose) good stories, there's a few places for the "mighty fine creative minds" of ATS to hang out at.... including one my favorites the "Short Stories" forum.

And finally... remember these words as "you" are responsible for "your" posts, so please..... " Post unto others as you would have them post unto you!! "

Welcome to ATS, Jools! I was on the old site too, long ago. ATS pages kept coming up in my searches back then, so after a while I joined. Welcome, or welcome back!

Thanks so much for the warm reception!

Welcome Jools! You know what to do. You have any questions, ask any one of us. We haven't bitten anyone in years (well, except JohnnyAnonymous, and he's okay most of the time), so feel free to wander about the place.

Welcome back!

Welcome Jools,
Good to see a fellow Queenslander on the cards,

What sort of topics are you into ?

The premier PalaceChook has driven qld into the ground eh?

Thanks again for the welcome, sorry it has taken me this long to reply. Finally a few days off work and the farm! I've been reading a lot of threads here on ATS and it's definitely a relief to see intelligent conversations online again. I wish I joined again years ago!

Just one question Jools.

Welcome to the nest

A classic!! Haha I like you already! Ol' Quinny and his feet obsession. Never fails to deliver 😂

Curious if anyone here trains in mixed martial arts too? Or anyone else a current or ex circus performer? I'm loving browsing around. I remember back in the day (now I'm sounding old) the topics most discussed on ATS were definitely 9/11, George Bush and Aliens and UFOs. So rad and satisfying to have seen over the years, quite a few topics from those days that were called conspiracy theories, turned out to be fact. And I learned about them here. When the SHTF for jeffrey epstein, I thought 'I remember reading about him on ATS'.

a reply to: joolsgoanna

Way too much politics nowadays and not enough of the high quality CT/Alien/UFO/Paranormal etc threads of old.

But ATS is still head and shoulders the best site of its kind around with some great and fascinating people.

Welcome back and I look forward to seeing you around.👍

Greetings from Sweden, OzJools! Enjoy the rabbit holes on the swiss cheese truthbomb minefields *Handing over an icecold pint of Coopers*
