I've read ATS forums for years before finally becoming a member. The trend I've seen in recent years is truly a turn for the worst.
This used to be a forum where truly remarkable cases were presented/discussed, backed by research, enhanced with intelligent commentary, while ultimately signaling unfathomable implications.
Sadly, many of the best posters on this forum have moved on, replaced by members many orders of magnitude less credible. Now the forum is filled with countless examples of mental illness and youtube "oohs and ahhs" over trite crap.
For a website, and in particular this forum, which used to be a beacon of exemplary debate which elevated the controversial subject matter into something that cannot be ignored, I've seen it fall just a bit too far for me to stomach.
My apologies.

you need to go to the UFO forum and look back over the years...there are plenty of credible examples of UFO's being real. just because there isn't much in recent history of this website, does not mean the subject is dead or forgotten.
the ones that i have been interested in are the various sightings by hundreds of GI's during the vietnam war. i can't point to them now, but i remember reading about dozens of men being present at these sightings, but because of the soldiers being under military secrecy orders, few (as of yet) have made it onto public forums.

I think you may have misinterprated SaosinEngaged post, he is more alluding to the declining quality of posts and discussion on this forum, which does not say anything about his beliefs on UFOs.
I'm only a recent contributer to these forums, and have only occasionally lurked on the forums over the last half dozen years, but I agree with SaosinEngaged, good contributions using well researched facts and information are getting lost amongst the hysteria and extreme personal beliefs.
