AbovetopSecret forum is censoring any mention of Conspiracies.Win. Been a member of ATS for over a decade and made a post advertising the standup of this .win site. ATS went up for sale recently and they are in the process of closing negotiations with AT&T(not formally announced yet). Mods who were always moderate politics wise are now showing the evident future of what members should expect. The left has gobbled up another of the bastions if free speech I Guess... makes this site that much more important. I urge others to spread the word to ATS any way you can. I’ve already been threatened with a ban via a private message from the moderators there.

Fuck ATS. ATS was never a "bastion of free speech".
I was a long time member there. They locked my account because I denied the moon landing. A dipshit mod I was arguing with in the moon landing thread said via PM he'll unlock it if I admit I was wrong. I told him to go fuck himself and quit the forum.
Reason: I remembered that another user also went through the same ordeal, i.e., he was locked out and was asked to admit he was wrong. But after he admitted he was "wrong" the mod banned him. Absolute scumbag move.
Another thing I remember about ATS was that there was a certain clique of members (mods and users) who'd start fights with users in their threads and get their posts removed, their threads locked and the users warned or banned.
I can definitely agree there are cliques of posters who like to throw their weight around due to their join dates and mass amounts of posts. But if anything the mod I contacted was obviously upset that I questioned him or even dared spark controversy in a thread. Really pathetic but often a trait of people willing to moderate the remanence of the old VB bulletin forums. Bodybuilding.com and it’s MISC forum is another of the old forums still around but with a bit more lenience.
