Three Amigos?

Is Simon still actively involved with ATS? Viewing the management page on The Above Network site, it said Simon is the founder.

I don't see why he wouldn't be involved anymore. A while ago someone said he was having problems with the internet?

Or he could just be busy in real life.

I always thought Overlord was the head honcho.

Nope, he's the "tech" guy. It's a partnership.

To the OP, Simon was on today.

Oh, so I guess he's only just the guy who keeps the site running.

What I'd like to know is who gets the most bank?

I know from personal exp. That each amigo I have ever sent a mail to has ALWAYS responded to me. And I might add that every Mod I have ever had a question, or mailed has always gotten back with me within a day or 2. Sometimes you just need to be pacient, or try being respectful and you will always get a reply!
Everyone here is very helpful, and have never had any problems.
Thus if you have a problem with someone or something. My advice would be to keep it private. Airing dirty laundry in the public can come off to some as disrespectful. But agin thats my humble opinion.

You ask who gets the most in the bank? Thats one of those personal questions that might come off to some as well... You get the picture.

And honestly if you want to know what true treasure and money is.. Its not money and gems. Its the knowledge and understanding of things in this world that money can not buy.
I would say if anything.. The members are the ones who get the real worth. Its called knowledge.. And to me its worth more than gold, silver or paper money.

no, he isn't. There are 67+ staff members who keep the site running and another 150,000 or so thousand members who put up the content.

As to who gets the most bank, that's easy.

the members. nobody gets to enjoy the fruits of the amigos' and the staffs labors more than the members.


edited to adjust the number of staff members. note, I am not including the FSME's in this figure, not because they aren't as important but, rather, because I don't know how many there are.

SimonGray has a post count of 5,186.

His profile page is here:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

I know I've seen plenty of his posts, the same as all 3 of the amigos.

I second that! My life is rich beyond belief since coming here. Where's my 50,000 points for that March 12th guess?

It takes a lot of one's time to build a dynasty.

Well, that what I'm told anyway.

Tell me about it

It's gonna be years before my plan for world domination comes even close to fruition - I knew I shouldn't have enlisted the help of stewie.

Plus the amigo's have about a 10 year head start

They're probably busy trying to make a device that will turn one T-shirt into 3 T-shorts and have totally forgotten about your points...

Congrats btw.

Huh? Anyway, Simon is on sometimes (or, maybe, he's on more than I am aware). I see him post in threads sometimes (and I'm not just talking about his threads, with about one post for each thread, in the Board Information forum). The threads in that forum are explanatory (they explain rules, protocols, and etc. about ATS), so I guess it's good that just him and some others post in there and I guess it's good that there is about one post per thread in that forum. It's nice to see him post around, I guess (as one might just be used to his posts in the Board Information forum). I wonder if one can reply to a thread in that forum. I know there is a reply button, but I wonder if one is allowed to post in that forum.

I've never spoken to simon - and that's my loss.

Kudos - it's a great site.

Here is a comprehensive thread about the 3 Amigos
www.belowtopsecret.com...

It's chock full of pictures, just in case you were wondering what they looked like.

On aspect about being staff is sometime we do not get to post as members as much as we would like. This is a busy place for us mods, I can only imagine how busy things must be on the admin side of the coin

The fact this this place runs almost seemlessly 24/7/365-366 is a testament to the amount of work that goes on at that level

Speak for yourself:

Then again, I have a big mouth.

As for Simon, if he posted more he wouldn't be mysterious, would he?
