How many ATS members have left ATS with new guidelines of living, a new spiritual path, or even a ne

alot of incredible over the top, above average philosophical information is shared on this boards. To the likes not seen on pretty much any other boards. Im wondering how many people have been discovered or made through this website (in the ways mentioned in the thread title).

And how many are yet to be discovered ( some stars just need a little more rubbing compound to shine, if u know what i mean).


Edit: And by left, i mean have been changed by ats permanently as an after effect, not leaving the forums and resigning from them.

How about, my eyes are open a little wider.

That's about it for a stodgy old conservative like me.

I constructed a tin-foil hat, dug an underground bunker, put on a surgical mask.

After I discovered ATS I stopped watching cable TV... I now get all my breaking news hours before it hits MSM.

i adverted the almost eminent death of a spider in my house today. Must of been all the pro life hippies floatin round here,

Just kidding

ATS has made a huge difference in my life.

Being from a long line of political leaders in my family I was tutored on how to act in public. It was awful.

Had to smile no matter what. Could not get really upset and show my true feelings even in the face of people I knew were our political enemies.

Thankfully on this site I can speak my mind finally. It is a welcome relief to me.

My son joined a few months ago and my daughter joined today. So this is now even more special to me.

I Have had`my spirits lifted when I was low and have tried to help others when I could.

It feels so good to be with like minded people.

I thank the owners and mods for keeping us civilized in our discussions.
I can be a real spit fire in real life but do watch myself here.

I have been here 4 a while. I do not always log on but every night during supper I prowl ATS. ATS has definitely enriched my life, I am thankful for ATS and the folks that post here - all of them!. MY EYES ARE WIDE OPEN!

The ATS for me is like being with an extraordinary woman.

She has depth, and insight and offers perspectives which I never would have seen on my own. She's someone special and even though sometimes she tries to bust my balls and give me sh$% I still love her because of how much she means to me

I have to say, since ATS, a few books I've read and living through a couple of hurricanes, I bought guns, learned to shoot, bought lots ammo, stocked up on food & supplies, got rid of debt and bought a big dog. Called me paranoid but I have a family to protect and provide for and a few simple preparations can make all the difference if the SHTF.

ATS has given me an outlet for my writing. But there is a small story that goes with that.

When I first got here I wrote a complaint just bitchin' and moaning about the writing forums here. I raised hell. Griped about the lack of attention and such.

They made me a mod of the writing forums.....How absolutely devious is that?

Now I'm the one who gets yelled at.

And it makes me want to grow.

That's just one of the reasons I love this site.

The best person to moderate a section, is one that fully understands the situation inside and out.... the best candidate being someone that lives the life of a writer, where its not only what the know, its what they

FEEL, and guidelines they live by.
