Hi, It's Me

A little birdie flew by and let me know there was a bit of chaos. What happened?

Anyone remember this?

Are you an overlord?

No, don't remember that. Wonder if it was before my time.
Quick and dirty version?

Code crapped out, (most poplular theory I think) Everyone was locked out, owners AWOL.
Thankfully, there was a "spirit" hanging around the back door, let some mods know how to get us back in.
Bing Bang Boom, we are back.

But something is different. A sense of Doom hanging over. And many still missing. End date may be in May.
Sad days.

Richard? Is that you?

Unlikely as he died Feb 19 this year. Maybe an overlord, maybe not...

I wasn't around back then but I found these:

The Fifth of November?

Major News Regarding The Above Network and AboveTopSecret.com

No idea if they are related to the picture but Richard Belzer was know for his love of UFO/conspiracy theories, and wrote books about them.

Is the picture relevant to something? Were you with Springer and Simon in New York with Richard?

Just Guessing Now :-D

Are you SO ??!!

a reply to: MissBeck

Yes, this is me, formerly known as "SkepticOverlord."

That's the late great Richard Belzer who was the MC at our "coming out" press event at the Gansevoort Hotel in NYC.

Here he is with a friend, just before the news teams arrived.

Aaw, if it really is you, I've just read through your last thread.

I miss you all.

Wow long time no see, has been long very long, how time has change, I remember in the beginning the black line on the ATS logo was supposedly to be for a passing member of ATS, but then it stays in as showing that ATS was changing and not for the better.

That was my take of it.

I do remember when the logo did not have line on it.

What happened, what we know, what we don't know

a reply to: MindBodySpiritComplex

WOW.

The cause could be as simple as not running regular "repair" commands on the mySQL database tables. I used to do that once a year, and it always found items to fix. A busy database with lots of simultaneous write/update commands can get minor corrupts, and it's normal.

I fractured some synapses working on that damn puzzle. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat yelling, "DOLLNEAN!"

My take,

Previously Kwakakev on the ATS situation

a reply to: kwaka

So there's some speculation of a hostile takeover?

Looks more like neglect.

Care to share who bought the place?

Seems we are on borrowed time.

a reply to: TheSkepticGuy23

Of course. Also, Serponauts.

Ooh, Serponauts... can I please borrow that for something I'm working on?



Welcome back SO! We may be on borrowed time, but we can only keep riding the wave until it will eventually hit shore.

a reply to: TheSkepticGuy23

Not you. I mean it's not the real you. The you of now is an alien clone. We know things.

Sure, it's not mine so have at it. And the neighbor's hedge trimmers.

Cheers! I'll take the hedge trimmer, too... I'm desperate for a haircut.
