ATS, BTS, What would you like to see in the future?

Isn't this www.abovetopsecret.com... the forum for breaking news?

Does that help?

Sure, I guess. They would need to start forcing people over there then. Moving all non-conspiracy related news items to that forum. Hopefully people would get the hint that way.

More emoticons, like a "What the hell is wrong with you?" emoticon.
Also a smack upside the head emoticon.

This might be easier than creating a ESU2U - Electric Shock U2U.

I would'nt mind an ignore button for the threads we want to ignore, like in the recent posts section so, they wont come up again!

Good call.

I think introducing a groups feature. So users can create or join groups and discuss what ever their group is about. Maybe include ranks and such.
Would deffinately make things more interesting!

Please add a few more items to the ATS store:

1. Since many U.S. stores now are finally selling their own cloth bags, why not start selling an ATS cloth bag for groceries, book-carrying, and miscellaneous shopping needs? It's a win-win situation, meeting a new mass need plus getting the ATS name Out There. What colors?? I recommend dark colors that won't show dirt so quickly ... basic black is good, so is dark gray (or grey), (UFO silver?), dark green for shopping at the local farmers' market, for instance. If "ATS points" won't cover the expenses, set a reasonable cash price and many of us will pay up.

2. How about ATS paper or cardboard bookmarkers? I read a lot of print materials as well as online, and could always use more bookmarkers (or "bookmarks"). If you don't want to sell the real thing, you could set up an ATS Points option of "print your own bookmarkers" using over-the-counter forms software that would give us members design choices in bookmarks (ATS, BTS, etc.).

Is there an organized ATS forum on global nuclear proliferation? If not, could you ask how much member interest there would be in that topic?

If you managers need more suggestions on changes to ATS, then when you get a chance, take a look at what behavior the (current ATS) system rewards. If you want to increase the member input, try some different behavioral rewards.

I don't know if this was mentioned or not (if it was, ignore me).

The other day on the Thread about the "Smily Face Serial Killings" (The one with the College Boys going missing and turning up in the water, having drowned) There was some chatting about where that thread should be put...

Perhaps a Forum or a Section on Unsolved Mysteries/Murders/Real Cases would be a nice idea....

Just a thought.

I think that is the best idea I have read yet. It would eliminate reading till your head explodes meaningless posts that make no sense to anyone but the typist. You could type meaningless %@#*& to a group that only understands meaningless (*&%#^&%!!!!

Id like to see the user profiles more friendly like other online social networking websites. I know its not about profiles here and its not a dating site but I think I speak for many bored, single, cant be assed to go out looking guys who would really like to find some like minded deep women! cause its pretty hard finding women into knowledge. I know theres tons on here, but searching for them is pointless and impossible as its not a profile friendly site. For that I have to use the cia facebook where nobody gives a stuff for knowledge. lol

It would also be great if ATS could use some simple facebook technology, like when you type in a URL the link and photo pops up automatically in the message, thats brilliant. Is that possible?

Hi and thanks for giving us the opportunity to comment on the site.

My recommendations are:

1)More tolerance towards conspiracy theorists.

2)Less or no tolerance towards pseudo-skeptics.

3)Smaller point deductions for bad behavior; instead of 500pts maybe 200-250 . This way we don't have to spend so much time sugar-coating our responses.

4)Make RATS free or cheaper. 5000pts is just well....unaffordable!

i think this should be a forum for discussion, but ive been talking alot about collating all this information into something accessible by the wider public. obviously deeper elements of the conspiracy debate would be useless collating as there are so many facets and different sides. but i think threads like sizzle's Know the hidden laws behind America, would be a perfect candidate for a lengthy compendium. in this way everything discussed here has a chance of making it out to interested parties outside ATS. College students writing essays, media and the general public could access this knowledge and arm themselves against propaganda and hopefully make a change in the real world, not just in our heads. if information is written up in accesible blocks of similar topics it could be translated and read by non english speakers and further fuel debate and understanding in the global community.

I too would like to see an Unsolved Crime forum.

Thanks.

That would be cool!

I will be honest and admit I have not read the whole thread so I apologise if this has already been mentioned.

Personaly I would dearly love to be able to embed video from a source other than youtube or google.

For instance photobucket allows me to host video and would like to be able to embed it here.

I know people are probably going to say open a youtube or google acount and post it there but personaly I would prefer not to as it is yet another process to go through before posting here.

Anyway pleading over.

Indeed it would,

Sherpa has a great idea, and I personally would love to see an ATS Investigator Team.

One that could go to different locations and do things such as Ghost Hunts, or UFO watches in hot spots. And some really good first hand interviews with interesting eye witness's from around the Globe.

We could even have at least two teams intitially, one on the N.American Continent and one in Europe. We would have to get a good ad dept, to get large companies that resonate with our mission to support the teams.

It would not have to be limited to a certain type of show like Ghost hunters or the likes because each week would have its own type of location, or interview.

I am just coming out of a migraine level head ach so if this makes no sense, I will try it again some other time. I really see this as something we could do, and I have terrific ideas as to the format.

I really enjoy the many videos that have been put up already!
I woud like to see a new video put up atleast every 2 weeks if that is possible!

Prehaps some new ways to spend some exp that I have gained here. Or points as some call them.

But seeing some more videos being promoted is one of my biggest suggestions. That and some new ways to spend some of these points.

Oh how about flying keyboards too!

I've seen a number of very creative members show a yen towards short stories and poems. I myself wanted to create an ode to my 2 wire gateway that gave its little life during a thunderstorm friday nite. I looked in 'literature' forum but more of a commentary section.
I believe this would make a very value added section and allow people to explore their creative sides.
