Hello Everyone of ATS

I've been using ATS (mainly BTS) for a few days now and I have been making the odd post here and there and have formed a couple threads, and I think now it's about time I made a formal introduction.

I have recently come out of a very intence relationship with my partner so I'm a little confused of who I am myself at the moment and I hope use of ATS will help.

Politically I am a middle-left-wing person, morally I'm relatively traditional and religiously I'm agnostic. I'm not narrow minded in my thinking - I'm willing to accept new ideas, and I enjoy sharing my opinion.

Thanks for any replies in advance,

Charles aka. eternally_damaged

Glad you could make it, come on in and sit a spell…

Hello and welcome to ATS Charles!

Thanks, I hope you don't mind me asking kinglizard, but how on Earth did you manage to acumate such a vast amount of ATS, PTS and BTS points?! - it can't be by just posting, can it?

If anybody else can answer my question, please do!

Well most of my points were earned by posting...one point at a time. Currently I am the 13th largest poster on ATS/BTS/PTS with 9508 posts though there are other members with over 18,000 posts. Some of my points came by special Photoshop pieces I created for the site and others for doing something that was considered "above and beyond". There are many ways to earn points.

There are members with over 300,000 points with the recent addition of PodCasts....each one earns the poster 2500 points. Heck there are members that have less than 500 posts but a point total over 200,000 due to podCasting so that is certainly the easiest way to build a stash.

Anyway enjoy the site...
