Welp...ATS bit the dust

[FCD]

Yeah, it does feel like the end for ATS, sadly it has been that way for awhile.
it's hard to imagine it bouncing back. A hardware failure does seem plausible, but I guess we'll never know for sure.

Thanks for the welcome! : )

So, a couple things I learned here which will help you understand things.

In your info box you will see a couple stats.  Most are obvious, but "likes received", "Likes given", and "Reputation" are all different metrics.  I tripped over "Likes given" for a while, because I was "rating" people's posts, but no "Likes given" were showing.  That's because they're different.  At the bottom of an OP (and only an OP) on the right hand side there is a "Like" button; it's like a "flag" on ATS (sort of, but it doesn't show).  If you click that, you're giving someone a "like" which will increment your likes given.  If you "rate" a post, nothing shows in your stats.  But the member will be notified of both the "Like" and the "Rating".  And, their "Likes received" will increment by one.  Vice versa for you.

Just thought I'd pass this along.
