I never joined ATS but was a reader for many years. One thing I noticed, especially over the past year, was the quality of posts, and how they went downhill. It used to be there were good discussions on "esoteric" topics, then it seemed to be nothing but politics and candidate bashing. Seemed like lots of new people were joining, the moderation was getting worse-so many reminders in each thread about one line posts, give me a break! It also seemed like there were more "uneducated" people posting gibberish and looking to provoke people into flamewars. I checked out the site the other day and couldn't tell if I was looking at a pop news site or a site devoted to mysteries...well, well, at least there are some other places to explore.
