Then what happens? There are alternative forum boards. I'm on one that is so obscure that even the oldest conspiracy nut on the internet probably
never heard of it, but they put up breaking news before members on ATS catch it.
Also, I've been using news feeds from the sources you find here. I get the information the moment it is made public and nobody is posting crap about
it in a thread format.
What other platforms do you visit? You can PM me, or post here since we'll all be looking for a new home soon, anyway.
I've been told that the ATS PM system could be compromised. I'll post links here, even though that wasn't allowed in the Old ATS.
The Patriot Hangout This is the one I like.
Rogue-Nation Refugees from ATS
Dead Drop Zero My own board.
That last one is one I created so I can post important threads in first before here or on other forums. Those posts are archived and under my
ownership that way. That forum only has a handful of members.
Of course, there is social media like Gab, but considering how Parler was killed off, no telling how long something like Gab will last. What I did is
go search crazy after ATS went down for a week that time a while back. I went searching for boards with every service I could find. Then I checked the
membership number and current activity to see if it was dead or not. There is a ton of what should be great boards, but they are shut down or
abandoned (like Hernando's Hideaway or the old Rogue-Nation).
I proposed in a thread ages ago that people like us, survivors of a popular but defunct forum, could just go and take over an abandoned forum board.
That thread was censored as unethical here (they had a name for it even, "cybersquatting"), they # canned it because it wasn't inline with "the
spirit" of the T&Cs (back in Jan 0f 2021).
Of course, an abandoned board wouldn't have moderation unless someone found a way to break into it and reassign passwords and usernames (sound
familiar?).
ETA: That Discord server is a good place to meet up, even though I don't like the format, still The Phantom Zone is a good place to keep track of
members from here.
