With that said, I do have one slight concern about where this will take ATS in the future. I honestly believe that as ATS grows and begins to take in more and more revenue that it will become harder to strike a balance between having a completely open, honest forum for ALL ideas, and making money.
If and when ATS starts to bring in some seriously big revenue, (and I truly believe that they will) how long will it be before keeping that revenue stream becomes more important than keeping to the ideals that ATS was built on?
If at some point in the future, the Three Amigos have to choose between censoring an idea or losing their advertisors, and or investors, and thus possibly the whole venture, how can one expect them to choose losing that revenue just to stick to their ideals?

Great jobs guys and I know what it is like to find investers who are interested in the real point of a enterprise rather than the short or medium term cash reward.

This may eventually give rise to the opportunity for ATS to employ full-time journalists to bring exclusive content from locations around the world. No doubt these journalists will be pulled from the rank of our members first of course

As the web evolves, many advertisers are realizing that an advertisement on a website no longer fosters a strict association with the content of the site in the same way TV or print advertising might. Just like outdoor advertising, the goal is to reach a specific kind of person, not sponsor a specific location.
