(I'm not going to be doing the newbie-oldie member matching, that's up to you. see someone you want to adopt/adopt you, contact them directly.)
my adopted newb is Nerdling, although I'm open to more forum children if the right person comes along. u2u me or check the contact info in my profile.

edit: once you've adopted/been adopted, post a message in this thread to let people know you're off the market. you're on your own as to figuring out your own ATS family structure

also, add your forum parent/child/family member to your signature. family pride!

As far as I know, you can't send PM's until you have at least 20 posts, but you can leave a comment on my personal profile still. Just follow that link, and scroll down to the very bottom of the page to leave a comment.

hello ATS world I am currently trying to get 20 posts under my belt and make a new thread. I welcome anybody who joins and I greet modestly anyone currently registered. From here I bid you all salutations, and I hope to be an important part of ATS.

I like long walks on the beach and foot rubs. I like someone who listens well and has a good sense of humor...LOL.

Ok ok...

Hello everyone, newbie here. Been lurking in the shadows for a while and finally decided to join. Hopefully I can find myself a big. Would love to be taken under someone's wing and be shown the ropes. Obviously being a newbie I cant do private messages or whatever so let me know if you're interested or up for the challenge.

Let's rock and roll

Hello i'm new here, i have being floating around this great site but never have signed up till a few weeks ago,
i'm looking for some one that is a member here but every time i get her screen name from her i forget it lol, anyway my name is sirleslo and i hope she reads this so she can adopt me! anyways i love abovetopsecret cause it opens my mind and my soul and adds a little mystery to my boring life, i hope to meet new friends here and thanks for all the cool and interesting threads that i love to read and wrap my mind around, peace out!

lord knows I am in need of help still a little fuzzy on things I just got some help yesterday from a cool person on how to add my avatar I learn fast and I should not have to be babied to long lol before I will be able to run through every thing in a heart beat and help others who are in need.

Thanks to any one who may want to help this poor soul

I'm willing to adopt someone! Just send me a PM and we'll kick it off!

Although I have been absolutely addicted to ATS for months, I just finally joined today. I want to be adopted. I may not have tons of scientific facts or "proof" videos but I feel as though I'm a chosen one. I'd love to get to know some of the members.

Hahaha I love this place. I am a new member, but have been reading on the site for a little more than a year now. At first I was like "UFO's, Aliens.... is that ALL these people talk about? I mean, I know we're not alone in the universe, but.... Ugh..."

I have changed my tune. I guess I was a bit intimidated by the millions of posts on here, a million different topics... and only about 3/4 of them are actually about aliens and UFO's. Lol. Only kidding.

There is sooooooooo much information within this community, and one thing that really peaked my interest.... is the element of community here. Seems to me that *most* people stick to the rules, and only post when they have something to add to the discussion. I hope to be able to contribute to this community in a positive way.

A few things about me I suppose?

I have lived my whole life (all 28 yrs so far) having the sense that I "know" there is more to our existance than "meets the eye"... I was shut down everywhere I turned for guidance. Was told that I have a wonderful imagination, but that's all it was... my imagination. So imagine my anger when I found out that pretty much everything I had ever been taught was a lie!!! I am not religious, but I believe there is, of course, a higher power at work. I DO believe that we are all one, that there really is no "other", and that we all chose to be here. I guess you can say that I agree with much of what is explained in the Law of One... I have always felt like I am on a spiritual quest here on earth and though I have been sucked into it from time to time, I have, for the most part, rejected a "worldly" existance. I don't give a *&$% about money, material goods, or status. I care about connecting with others, helping people in any way that I can, and experiencing the many wonderful things that consciousness has to offer. I very much believe in the love/fear concept and I feel that there is really nothing to fear... For there are powers at work that my human mind can't even comprehend... So how bad could it really get? Life is just a learning experience for the soul, IMO....

That being said I feel many negative feelings about the 'nwo' and everything they stand for, concerning earthly matters. I don't know about the idea that they are creating all this negativity out of love... that seems a stretch even when looking at things from the perspective that they will have to pay in the next lifetime for the negativity they have created here.... Seems to fit too nicely into their earthly scheme...

I constantly question things, even (especially?) my own belief system, as it is constantly evolving. I try not to get too caught up in the game that is being played out here on earth, as I know there is very little I can do about it as an individual. That's not to say I take the attitude that "I am just one person, and there's nothing I can do about the state of the world." In fact, I think we are capable of sooooo much more than we may initially believe with our conscious minds... So, here on earth, if I see an injustice, I do not turn the other way. I constantly have a video camera on me and I question authority at every turn. What I mean by "I try not to get caught up in the game being played on earth" is that I believe there is MUCH more going on, and that the game on earth is merely the "tip of the iceburg" so to speak....

There are so many people here at ATS that have so much to contribute to not only our discussions here, but to society, and to the greater good. I enjoy coming here and feel a connection with the ATS community at large. It is my hope that I get to know some of you (us?) on a more personal level, as I feel there is a great deal that I can learn from all of you.

So I know I'm crazy, and even this "introduction" is kind of all over the map. But I also know, from the depths of my being, that there are others here like me, who understand my crazy, and perhaps even more so than I do. That is my hope at least. I feel that I am more and more on the right path, but like any intelligent being, I also know that I know nothing in the grand scheme of things.

So if anyone out there would like to 'adopt' me, I think it's a great idea, and it would be fun! I LOVE that many here at ATS have such a great sense of humor. Can't take everything seriously all the time!!

any time y'all have problems or questions, the staff are a private message away. If anyone feels the need to actually say they've been adopted, you can say I adopted you.

Hahaha thanks for that I didn't even think about private messages Though, I'm not sure who I would even send a message to at this point lol... I don't know who's who really, as there are tons of members. Just trying to introduce myself and figured I might as well introduce myself on one of the more humorous threads on the 'Introductions' forum.

if you click this link:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

and look down on the left side of the page, you'll see a list of owners, admin, super moderators and moderators. you can click their name and be taken right to the private message page. If you want to see if they are online before sending them a message, scroll to the bottom and you'll see everyone who's online at that time. staff are bolded.

It's also ok to send the staffers a thank you from time to time as they work their tails off here and the compensation package is less than adequate.

I like you am a newbie here and cannot private message anyone nor would I know where to being but you my friend, you are the person I wanted to reply to. I read your message and it instantly spoke to me. I've been having some personal battles lately and I just had my breakthrough. I know understand myself fully and how to move forward. I wanted to reach out to you and let you know there are others like you or us as you so well put it. I learned to let go today. To let go of what I thought was reality and to embrace what I already knew was me and my world.

And per Crakeur's advice, I do thank all of the ATS for everything they do. It must be hard to constantly moderate the masses that is the ATS. To keep all of us in line and down the path of true enlightenment. Thank you for the creation of a site to share real stories, news, thoughts and concerns with and for like minded people. I hope to continue to learn and grown amongst this community

Thanks for reaching out It is good to know there are many others out there who's energy is in tune like this. Listening to our inner voice can be insanely difficult in the world we live in.

It is good to let go sometimes. This is something I have struggled with always. I guess a challenge is good for the soul though, so I try my best to listen and learn.

ATS is an amazing place to be online, and I would like to give MANY thanks to all who keep it afloat. There is a lot going on throughout ATS and yet you all manage to do an awesome job day in and day out. Thank you.
