ATS Campaign-Important-Must read

Welcome Fellow ATS Members

It's come to the point were after seeing the thread about the Historic Traffic that we've had i had a brainwave. Now i've heard and read on multiple forum posts that people agree and tha facts show it that ATS gets it out thier we discuss what others are to naive to, and we do everything in our power to get to the truth. From radio shows to the conspiracy chicks ATS is changing.

Now i will be personally spearheading a campaign whether or not you guys wish to help is your own choice, but i wish not just to get ATS known to people like us but for those people that are blind to whats going on in the world. whether they dont realise it or not we all have to wake up and i belive this site to be the answer.

So i will be writing to Radio stations,sites that broadcast the news like bbc and i would like to get us some coverage on television i know its ambitious but think about it all those people that arnt aware will be able to see the truth.

It could wake everyone up, More people than ever would want to uncover the truth.


So i ask all that read this thread to do the same write into radio stations,send letters to television broadcasting stations, do everything in your power to get this site out to the world. But i dont mean go spamming other forums as thats not what were all about.

My Dream is that one day the world will have no secrets, Goverments will work in harmony with thier people and instead of fighting each other we create a global bond and move forward in our evolution.

Thankyou for your time.

Please Post a comment if your going to help and explain what you will do.

Also if you have any other ideas on who to contact or how we could get it done quicker, leave a comment or drop me a u2u.

Yes, that's what I like to see, Go-get-em attitude. I agree.

I was even thinking members (whatever the criteria is) would be given , say, ATS bumber stickers to give out and/or display. Example. A Solid Content Contributor would get-say 3. One for them and two for friends.

Bronze (if they want them) could get-say 5.
Silver- 10

Also, I think all the members show work towards getting the Conspircy Chick News thing off the ground. I have an idea I am getting things ready to pitch to them. For like a Members of the Month segement-then their story etc. Like Crop Circles. T

hey could host a competion of alleged Crop Circle Makers-to be done in the daylight and then judge by a live call in etc. I mentioned this one already in the opening C.C's thread.

But, personally, I tell as many people as I can-without sounding like a nut. I have gotten several relatives to look at the site-and go back. All my co-workers etc.

You are on the right track though. Great idea and post. Flag

Once i`ve gotton feedback on this, i am going to collect all the best idea's then pass them around to everyone, taht way we get maxinum area of effect. even if we only make a small impact its better than nothing. Every individual counts towards this goal as does every Members help in this matter.

I also need to add that i posted it in this forum because i`m not after stars or points and this forum does not allow them to be given.

Now If you read this U2U it to everyone you know. Because we need this out thier get everyone onboard

It's great thinking, but as staff, I'd have to recommend you speak with the Three Amigos regarding "official" publicity, (i.e. media outlets, etc.).

There may be legal, financial concerns, etc., so I'd recommend sending them a U2U... For my part, I'll bring it up in the mod forum.

Just U2Uing one of the amigo`s now .

Lets remember the ATS Terms & Conditions Of Use:.

1e.) Recruitment/Solicitation:

i) You will not use your membership at The Above Network, LLC site(s) for any type of recruitment to any causes whatsoever. You will not post, use the chat feature, use videos, or use the private message system to disseminate advertisements, chain letters, petitions, pyramid schemes, or any kind of solicitation for political action, social action, letter campaigns, or related online and/or offline coordinated actions of any kind.

With that said, Im sure one of the site owners will chime in.

It's a wonderful idea, however I fear that these broadcast stations will take this as a way to crap on us again as they continue to do.

Any agenda pushing by ATS to get the word out, about ATS will most likely come off as something sinister to the MSM and really would just provide more fuel for their "Domestic Terrorism" propaganda campaign.

The best things you can do, IMO, are contribute to the site and share it with friends and family

Better watch out they don't like it when you try and get organized over the internet. It's considered high risk activity and some websites can actually get in trouble for hosting such activity. Some activity not all.

For those of we who have a few Web sites, can we get some "ATS Member" graphics, logos, or banners to put on our sites with a link back to here for our site visitors to see?

Also, for those of we who also advertise, standard size banners can be added to most of our rotation systems. (Along with other text links, of course.)

Just putting it out there...

That would be a good idea

I understand and very-much appreciate and am flattered by the enthusiasm expressed here. Proactive members are among our most-valued assets.

But... there's a "however,"

A grass-roots member-driven awareness drive has a certain amount of risk, not that any of you may personally represent a risk, but someone else might. Our continued growth relies as much on our continued reputation as it does on great content and civil discussions. An overly-passionate supporter may, with the best of intentions, offend the wrong person at the wrong time/place and end up causing some harm to that reputation.

For example... it wouldn't be unusual for someone really "into" these topics to say something like, "You've been lied to all your life and are clueless, go to ATS to stop being a sheeple." In their mind, from the point of view of the sensibilities of an enthusiastic ATS supporter, that may seem like an appropriate or even normal statement -- but to the average person, it could be offensive or even insulting.

If we have a wide-open awareness building campaign calling on members to "spread the word," there is significant risk that something like that will happen... in fact, it may be a certainty.

While it may come across sounding overly "corporate," the truth is that such efforts are best left to us. We are indeed ramping-up a PR effort and preparing some rather targeted efforts at getting the media to become aware of our expertise on certain subjects. Our communications will be more tempered and fine-tuned to the sensibilities of the recipients, and more likely to receive a positive response.


But still... what can YOU do? Because, we know many of you would want to do "something."


Most-Important: Content

While it may seem overly simplistic, it's all-too true. Good threads and good posts are the foundation of why ATS has grown. Among the long-history of members seeking to donate money, time, or other efforts, our response has always been, "just divert that energy to good posts." The long-standing arrangement of our promise to work hard to get people to notice what you post continues to be successful, and there's no good reason to alter that fundamental agreement.


Second-Most Important: Attitude

All one need do is review the "antics" portrayed in video of those who are intensely-passionate about ATS-styled topics. Overly-zealous 9/11 Truth supporters and people claiming to be part of "We Are Change" have allowed their passion and exuberance to distort what should be an important message. When you speak with someone about any topic represented on ATS for which you're really passionate, we must work exceptionally hard to "tone it down" and be polite, respectful, and empathetic. No one wants to hear their preconceptions are wrong or their education has been skewed. And for the most part, many of our topics contain ideas or assertions that will be not just only shocking to most people, they won't even want to think about it.

Calm. Respectful. Polite. Sympathy. Whenever you speak with someone about our provocative topics, those four thoughts should constantly ring through your mind.


Third-Most Important: Humor

Humor is society's antiseptic. Almost any highly-toxic subject can be examined when done so through a bit of humor. Certainly we don't want to make light of our subjects, but being able to see the humor others seen in some of our subjects will -- I guarantee -- make you and the topic approachable.


Finally: Reverence

If you are really so passionate about the conspiracy subject matter that rises to the surface on ATS, you owe it to everyone else who feels the same to treat the subject with the utmost respect. Never insult someone to make your point. Never exaggerate the truth to make your point. Never contrive "evidence" to make your point. These are serious subjects with, if true, serious implications. On the whole, no one should want many of our subjects to be true... but we should want the truth, no matter how painful it may be.

For lack of a better analogy, treat these topics as if you're an 18 year-old stud protecting your innocent and beautiful 13 year-old sister.



If every ATS member does those four things when creating posts and discussing our site or our topics in every-day life, the rest will easily fall in-place.

I'm liking that analogy, Made me chuckle.

I'm noting this all down this is good stuff.

reply to post by SkepticOverlord


I was a corporate puke for a few years. Likely will be again one day. That was some good spin thrown in some of that material. well played.

I think that you nailed several things. People don't dislike our topics, they dislike the thought that our topics might be true. Pain aversion or something.

Good response. I think you nailed it down.

This is about the only "Good Reponse" post i will ever make to one of the three Amigo's. But that was so thoughtful and well written it deserves comment.

Outstanding.

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


It was reall well written absolutely great.

Now i know why he is the site owner and not me.

Call me selfish but I quite like the fact that ATS isn't known to everyone I know. I feel I can come and voice opinion without ridicule (mostly lol) a place I can enjoy intelligent conversation with like minded people as well as be the 'first to know' when it comes to most major news stories.

In my opinion if ATS was known to the masses I'm sure the truth, whatever that is for each individual, would end up being obscured in some way and the ability to 'Deny Ignorance' would become almost impossible.
