LONG TIME READER first time member

hi ATS im 20 years old and from canada i have been following the happenings of ats for about six years now and feel it is my time to seek out answers. i have come across some very ignorant posters on this site that have given me many thick belly laughs over the years hahaha. but i have also came across posts that, just by reading the words on the screen, stir things inside me that i thought only i could initiate. im looking forward to finding the answers i seek but more so i am looking forward to HOW i will find these answers. if any one has questions feel free to ask away. because i will be doing the same


cheers

Welcome. I too am new here and share a similar story. I've learned that the journey to find the answer to what ever we are searching is sometimes more rewarding the answer itself. Hope your experience is pleasant here.

Welcome to ATS...buckle up and enjoy the ride...

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.

*** Please be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your on. Before getting on a ride, you should be mentally fit, emotionally stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

*** Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might think or expect. At times, you may learn something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride, this is a natural and normal phenomena.

*** 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! Be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & 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"...!
