To DirtyBoots:

I think it has to do with which Board you are on.

There are other ways to get the desired smley. Right click any smiley here on ATS.

Go to properties, highlight and copy the url. use the url in between bb code tags for images, like so:



Also, you can use abbreviations like this:

= laughing smiley
= smile
= frown
= smiley sticking tongue out
= smiley with big grin
= thumbs up
= thumbs down
= waving to say hello

I wonder if there is a list of all of these floating around here somewhere.

If not, when I have the time I will look into compiling such a list.

thank you for that warm welcom im gald this is a friendly server hope to post on alot of threds

lol so is this like ATS 101 or somehthin?
sounds cool.

I, for one, feel proud to be apart of this paranoid and sleep-deprived community.

This is a fabulous and challenging site that offers everyone a wealth of information on the unknown. It forces one to question and probe. Intellectually stimulating.

AMAZING.................JUST AMAZING

Springer.... Great site...
I have spent 25 years in the US military, so naturally I would have a few insights and mindful comments. Yes, I do get flustered with the on slaught of the conspirators of war. But, alas, I have learned that profanity is an uneducated mind trying to express itself.

Being in the military, profanity is a prereq. I dont condone it but I use it at times and understand that we as humans let our emotions run freely.

I have been on another site, that makes me laugh. They bash each other like a grape stomper.

It is amazing to me that people can get worked up over words. By the nature of the beast I am a conservative republican. I do however see points in all parties. I, myself try not to get worked up, but there is that occasion, when people actually test the last THREAD of reason.

I never held forums as a legitimate form of expression. Facts offered are often misrepresented and for the most part are biased opinions. Your forum seems to try and regulate the tirrades of the less informed trying to in-flame responses of an un-intelligent mind melt.

I look forward to reading and contributing to your forum.

Hi..why people can vote for other people? What does it mean? Where can I see how many votes do I have?

Hi,

Just joined. Been surfing this site for quite long time (couple of years or so), and reading articles now and then. Liked the old article about telportation for an example - don't know how long ago that was.

I registered to get access to the more "interesting" information that is posted on this site, and try to come with thoughts that may be interesting for you guys to read.

Generally I am mostly interested in information and political conspiracy theories and such. I am not sure if I want to believe in the UFO stories etc. But they are sure interesting to read about now and then

Great job guys. Looking forward to interact with you all!

It's been a while since I dropped in and said hi, so HI!

Welcome and ENJOY!

Springer...

about time you say hi springer, why dont you ever return my phone calls.

dont tell me that was all pillow talk.

anyways, thanks for this site , you guys know who im talking to.

peace

Well from the posted rules I look forward to civil exchange of ideas. I'm real weary of the typical internet hostility, snipers, and wiseguys. I come here hoping to discuss topics with people of like mind and not argue or defend ideas.

I hopw this site turns out to be everything you claim it is. As an aspiring conspirist and pro-lifer id like to thank you for putting all of the right information into one place. All of the posts here, after I've began to read through, will have a deffinate impact on the knowledge I share with the others I interact with in life. Maybe, with enough reason and fact, we will be able to mainstream truth and allow "conspiracy" to become "reality".

Just to say 'hi' and thanks to the mods and other helpful folks for the info.

Im really new here and i love this site but i fear im more or less on the idiot side of trying to git around..so i note some names have banned? and they have lots of points and i hardly have any and iwant to go shopping @ the ATS store..can new people git some of theres??

You don't need to get anyone else's points to have alot of points. Just make a lot of good posts on ATS and PTS. You get one point for every post and if you make very good posts you might get an Applause which gives you a 500 point bonus.

And if you make a thread you get 2 points for every reply it gets.

Another great place to check out is BTS. It is a more laid back place than ATS and PTS. There is a whole lot of different forums for a lot of subjects.
There is Music forum, Video Games, Member Art and a bunch more forums. And if there isn't a specific forum for what you like to talk about, no worries. General Chit-Chat covers everything else.


So just post a lot, try and make good posts and threads, and check out BTS - you'll have a ton of points in no time.

Hello..Just trying to navagate around the site at the minute..It's very impressive..I intend to post as soon as I get my bearings..so see you in a couple of weeks no doubt LOL..

i hope someone is still monitoring here. i am a relative newbie, and can't find the answer to this problem anywhere. how do i update my pages here. everything reads, 08/11/2007. this is the date i signed on. whereas i understand to some extent that this is my enrollment date, it shows this date for everything. even for other poster's. this gets pretty aggravating. is there anyway to correct this?
