Since joining this site back in 2010 I have always kept the same avatar. I know lots of people change their around at times, can kinda get confusing,
not always bad when you do know them better. In some debates it helps seeing someone familiar at times, I want to be a rock with some many accounts
coming and going.
So what a past few days on ATS...
I was not online at the time the password keys got taken and mods locked out, but did arrive shortly after.
At the start of this MrBipps blamed Steve.
Ay so who #ed up ATS
MrBipps also links up with the accounts SimulatedEvidence and DarkOwner who is claiming / denying ownership at this time. Some people here do know who
this person / group is and ain't happy about it.
As for how this power struggle plays out and where Darko (website owner) is in this mess? wAnchorofCarp has noticed some mod activity:
Who is still pulling strings?
As for what this means at this time? Is Darko in control with some game, is Darko under attack?
Another member on the suspect list is Triple333 with their introduction thread as things kicked off:
A new rise…
The level of calm and acceptance of what had just occurred does suggest foreknowledge of events. I don't really know, but on the radar at this
time.
For the rest of us not entangled in the intricate politics behind ATS, just have to wait and see. Things are still working, the stars and member stats
are fixed if things stay with these new accounts. We can still access a lot of our past work so far, bit tricker. Now is a good time to backup
anything important if things do go bad. If you don't know where to start, one site i recommend is:
archive.org
In the mean time while the dust settles, keep it civil, the internet does not forget.
