Greetings Cypherians,

Just wanted to brag a bit. We're payed up for the next 10 years.

There will be no e-begging or donations at this site, ever.

I have no control over an EMP, however ..

 

Greetings Cypherians,

Due to some recent inquiries I want to make my mission clear:

I believe that freedom is not a privilege - it's a birthright.

My mission is to provide a sanctuary for open dialogue, uncensored ideas, the unapologetic exchange of knowledge, and to champion freedom of speech, unfiltered by corporate interests or political correctness.
To stand against censorship in all its forms and defend the right of every individual to question, speak, and dissent.

And to:

Uphold bodily autonomy as a fundamental principle - each person has the unassailable right to make decisions about their own body, health, and well-being without coercion by force or otherwise. Emergencies are not the exception.

Advocate for financial freedom, encouraging self-reliance, alternative economies, and resistance to centralized control over personal wealth and resources.

Believe in freedom of movement - both physical and digital - and reject authoritarian surveillance, restrictions, control, and lockdowns.

This forum is an international collective of free thinkers, truth seekers, and independent minds. We are not here to conform. We are here to challenge, explore, and build a better world through transparency, accountability, and the fearless pursuit of truth.

The above statement is not a prerequisite to membership of this forum, rather, it is my own personal conviction and what I try to promote on this forum. You're welcome to try to convince me otherwise ..

Omnia Interroga|Question Everything

Thanks,

Myke

Hey Y'all,

Just wanted to let you know that I added a 'News' feed to the top of the homepage.

Minimal for now, but I thought you might like it.

Feed is at top of page, choose your news source and the top 10 latest headlines will appear.

Enjoy!

Our recent domain name change and redesign has been a success. I'd like to thank everyone from ATS and MPP that have been with us since the beginning. Shout out to Ksihkehe and Theatreboy, for putting up with me, mostly!

More to come .. everyone is welcome to join!

Greetings All,

We are making some changes here, nothing too drastic, but we've moved domains to CypherAge.com. The changes should be completely transparent, but you may need to login again.


The new address will better reflect the diverse topics we embrace here resetting the focus from 'mud-pit' politics and the former ties to that aspect of ATS - AboveTopSecret.com.

There will be some formatting changes coming soon as well.

As always, if you notice any glitches or errors, or have general questions, please let me know via DM or forum post.

Thanks,



Stay Vigilant

Greetings all,

We're still trucking along.

ATS looks like it has finally given up the 'ghost', so to speak.

I've been very busy with work and some other life changes I've been making, but I continue to check in regularly and, as usual, feel free to DM if you have an issue.

Thanks,

The topic of posting your own content from other sites and platforms often comes up on forums and I've seen the question asked elsewhere. If you're producing content on YouTube or Rumble, if you have a Substack or X account, or if you'd like to give your own material from other sites a new life, MPP is a place that you can do that.

For ATS and DI refugees that may have threads they'd like to breathe new life into, I'd suggest rolling them out over time to prevent a flood of threads all at once that don't get quite enough attention. You can update your OPs and link to the discussion on the other sites, but you can't copy the materials other people posted there. Some of these threads may be more informational, perhaps they were written as a resource. These threads are great too and MPP values your work, no matter where you posted it first. As long as you still retain copyright, you can post it here.

If you produce free content elsewhere, we want to hear about it. I will always love long form discussion where we can dig into topics, but we live in a multimedia world. Some things are better in a video, or spoken aloud, or in a data table. I can only speak for myself, but I like supporting the content of people I know and who are from my community. You get clicks, passive subs, maybe somebody buys from your store... just don't link directly to crap people have to pay for.

This came up in relation to something else I'm working on, so I thought it would be a good time to post a thread on it. When ATS wanted to become its own media empire the content restrictions may have seemed like they made sense, but the world has changed and there are trillions of IP hits a day on the Internet. There were also issues with flame wars between forums back in the day, massive protracted battles between members. We don't need to worry about losing clicks to other sites or losing members just because we allow others sites to get passive advertising through post links. We have no problem with the members of other sites, we ARE the members of other sites, and tribal flame wars haven't been a huge problem outside activist circles for a decade or more.

We're the disruptors, not the legacy. The current legacy in forums is an anemic husk sucked dry by overzealous moderation and owners pandering to activist demands on content restrictions. That's been failing for a decade to attract new interest, was not maintaining old interest, and is really just forum euthanasia.

The spice must flow to allow all these corners of the conspiracy universe to stay connected and we aren't going to get in the way of the spice.

Praise MUD, with all his glorious wisdom, for recognizing that the forum space has to move on from tribalism and walled gardens.

(I haven't decided if I want to start a MUD cult yet, but I have been including occassional pseudo-religious praise to make sure the foundation was there. Other times I go to great lengths to point out MUD's gross incompetence and myriad failures, because I also haven't decided if I might incite a populist coup again MUD. I'm keeping my options open until I know what will get better NGO funding.)
