Thanks for the input here.
I've been hearing about more and more new problems. There is another password problem cropping up along with what has become the usual moderator issues lately. Also, I've noticed that you can't scroll down past the first page of the New Threads and Recent Threads area. Concerning moderators, I've been in contact with DTOM with my phone messenger for a long time now. When it looked like ATS was going down, we started exchanging info on Michigan politics, pretty much daily. She seemed alright to me and I never discussed the moderator issues with her on the website or my phone. I haven't been getting those messages anymore and I haven't sent any myself. Now I am beginning to regret getting so close to some of these people. I've made acquaintances that seemed connected to things, like Russian Troll for example.
Russian troll is an ATS member who I have always suspected of being from our own intelligence agencies. He disappeared for a long time at the beginning of the Ukraine War and then returned "changed" after the password lockout. I had gotten pretty close with RT for a while, but this RT is someone else IMO. Harsher, colder, and unresponsive to my comments and PMs, something he wasn't doing before. I might not have thought too much of this one if it wasn't for how popular ATS had become on Yandex, the Russian search engine. I found a comment I made in there that became a hit with the Russians after I ran a search on my member's name. That post was published on several Russian websites. After searching Yandex for some other topics I posted over there, I found out how popular ATS really is with the Ruskies. I don't want to sound like a liberal Democrat, but Russia, Russia, RUSSIA!
There have been a few other things that can be connected, but I've been getting pretty far out there about all this and need some clarity and perspective. Toward that end I'd like to hear about anything else people have been experiencing or some possible explanation for all this.
To p358,
I've been reluctant to join D.I. as all this crappola seemed to be climaxing at the point when it was being put together as a refuge for members there. Plus DTOM's involvement had me suspicious along with all the rest of that Discord crap going on to get back your original profile. Something really stinks and I feel like it's a bad idea to keep hanging around over there. But like a train wreck, I can't look away and just want to gawk as this all goes down.
