Check the main ATS site, not just the forum... He also has a thread in the Intro section.
As for the bars...there is some kind of formula used, that basically tracks your activity on the related forums, as well as your posts on these
forums, and this activity then fills up the bars. Once full, you're moved up an ATS level. It's kind of a quick assessment to see how much
someone's posted, and where their interests lie. There was a great thread posted by William on this, but I'm having trouble finding it, so this is
just a quickie explaination, by a non-mod...but I hope it helps...
Guesses (as they choose to remain mysterious about it)
ET Resistance: How much, and how you post on the UFO Alien forums?
NWO Resistance: How much, and how you post on the conspiracy forums?
Awareness: How much you post on all topics?
Insider Appreciation: You're involvement with such things as collaborative fiction, debate club, etc.?
