Just wanted to announce that Episode 1 (almost 2!) of Ksihkehe's CypherAge podcast will be airing this Saturday at 8pm EST.

Ksihkehe and I will be covering all the crap that went down with DI, including the BTC donations and grifting, hacking, censorship, banning for questions, staff support, etc. We believe the community deserves the full story. 

We'll also be covering other topics but will be focused on the info in these threads: The ATS Archive and ATATW. As they seem the most pertinent to recent events.

Anyone with questions or if you just want to argue, , is welcome to join us live or after the show in the thread.

I figure, screw it, let's get it ALL out there, this community has been in the dark long enough! Put this to rest, once and for all.

If there are any changes, I'll post here.

Also, if you're not the type to participate in podcasts, feel free to ask whatever questions you have here and I'll be sure to include them! Keep it civil, please!


Thanks,

Myke

That's great; thanks for doing what you do .
I wish we hadn't splintered up into like 3 or 4 forums after ATS.
It's like Jesus apostles becoming all the different sects a hundred years later.

If I were you I would get my money back.....

Well, in a way it's turned out to be a blessing, as, our forums all communicate and possibly collaborate now, instead of keeping secrets from membership. We're a little more spread out, but still one community, really.

A birdy told me you have a forum too? I'd like a link to your forum too, please.

I don't want my money back, just hoping it ends up in good hands.

Me?! no!
I just hang out here and at Giza Death Star forums   Those are my only 2 forums these days for alt research.

I just logged off of DI for the last time after reading some nonsense. lol.

A few weeks age when it seemed like DI had only a few days left,  a dream was born.
A small group of the legacy ATS mods/DI mods got together and started a new place to call our home.

And that dream became The Landing Area".

We aim to bring civility back to discussions.  TLA is a new place to talk without interpersonal rancor or drama.   Passionate discourse will always be welcome, but trolls are not.

Though DI was granted more time, we chose to move forward with our plans to launch something new.  We want to get back to our roots and back to discussing and exchanging ideas.

I even used my most prolific user name from my days at ATS to join, the same one I use here, which I did not use when I rejoined ATS just before the Darko days nor again after the lockout fiasco and not even when I joined DI due to past problems with the staff and being banned from ATS five times. I know some made the connection but it hasn't been used negatively but history has a way of sticking in one's memory and whether or not I'm starting out with a clean slate sticks in the back of mine sometimes.

It also ended up being part of what pushed me to make my own forum too back in early February. Mine is mostly just to preserve all my posts, because at this point these disappearing forums are starting to feel like digital Atlantis lol.

Still, I am glad to see new ones popping up. People may be getting scattered to the four winds a bit, but at least the conversations are still finding a place to live. That is better than watching years of posts vanish into the void every time a site decides to spontaneously combust.

Wishing all the new places good luck, and hopefully most of them stick around longer than a carton of milk left out in the sun.

Seems now like a plot from a C grade tele-movie.

That could be many years. It's just that nobody would go near it.  

I like knowing this place is a bit of a Rock and has a damn fine Captain and Crew on a fine Voyage imo. I'm still a newbie here really but have been rocking boats literally since I was born, and Rivers need boats to quietly rock just to keep the rhythm going.

Enjoy yourself here "imitator". Have Fun.

I was thinking about that the other day.  RN has more longevity than any other ATS spinoff.  AFAIK.
Quite a feat.  The folks who run RN should be very proud.
