The timeline?

What is the history of ATS?

Did Mr Simon start it all himself?

When did Springer, and Skeptic get involved? They seem to be a little farther down the list than others when you look up stuff on "search members".

How are you chosen to be a mod, super mod, or administrater?

Seems hard enough to be chosen to be a mod let alone a administrater, or better yet an amigo!

Im just curious, I like history of things and such!

I don't know if there is a timeline per se anywhere on the site. But I have seen bits and pieces that Simon had posted in various threads, about the history.

How about a blast from the past?...
Pages archived on the "Way Back Machine..."

web.archive.org...

Enter www.abovetopsecret.com into the entry box on that page...

You can get a glimpse of what ATS was like from the very beginnings... (although the first few entries are basically blank)

Kind of fun to see the different formats that the site had used over the course of its existence.

Thanks that was pretty cool!

Nice to see it in its infancy, and where it all started!

Check out Dave Rabbit's podcast where he interviews the 3 Amigo's. It answers alot of your questions.

We came. We saw. We kicked ass.


'nuff said.

Redseal, if you can get a copy of the Podcast through friends or family, have a listen. You'll enjoy it, all three of us Amigos talk about ATS, it's past, present and future plans.

Don't forget, podcasts are just MP3's that will play on damn near anything!
