A wee hello from a new member.

I have been reading ATS for a while now and it is good to see such diverse subject matter/s being covered and collectively appraised and worked out to find/discover/prove it's legitimacy.
I read a lot of 'alternative' news sites, mainly because I would rather know what is really going on, all be it more horrible than one could have imagined, however, on a lot of other sites there seems a lot of people just oozing hate or nastiness rather than using their brains and trying to get to the facts/find evidence of the subject and having 'grown-up' discussion. I guess that is why I like reading topics/threads here.

Looking forward to continuing all the interesting reads and now might actually manage to add to the comments too.

WELCOME TO ATS!

As you can see that's not a 'wee' greeting - but - now that you're here? It's time to be HEARD!

Enjoy your stay! I hope it's a long and pleasurable one!

Oh, and one of our most respected ATS'ers, Loam put together a page for all of us who need some help on how to 'tweak' our posts to our hearts content! I hope you find it as helpful as I did!

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, so with that said...

Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret (ATS), the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.


* Please check out those links posted above before getting on one of the rides. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

* Please be sure that you act like an 'civil' adult and are at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward).

* Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your all on. You should be mentally fit, stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented.

* Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might expect. Be aware you also might end up learning something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride.

* Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

* Please have fun! But be aware that if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentially spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is not only for your safety, but also for those both young and old on the ride with you.


So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!

Thank you for the nice welcome posts and handy info posts.

And for the curious, the way to pronounce Cthulhu, pheonetically is K (like kick with out the ck at the end), Thoo (like through with out the 'r'), Loo (like do but with an L instead of the 'd') K-Thoo-Loo hope that made sense and is understandable.
