atssystems.com is now ATS
It seems the moderators here thought I was using my name as an ad. Sure whatever..
Anyways, just so you guys know.. atssystems.com is now ATS.
I was thinking that maybe they should have changed the name over a year and a half ago.. I think I am in the top 200 posters of all time (out of over 22,000), you would think someone would have noticed..
Back to your regular programming.

If it were related to MB mods, I could accept that your name should not be an ad... but since your selling PC's (yuk!).. I don't see the harm.
Either way, it's their forum.. and they provide it to us for free.. so thanks for that!

Afterall it does cost to maintain this forum we all enjoy. HTH

Yes, you have been posting for some time and we all appreciate your involvement and input. You also don't pay to use this site and running this site costs money. More so, our moderators volunteer their own time to help maintain the site for everyone here. Believe me when I tell you their jobs are often not easy. So I take it personally when you attempt to post negative and sarcastic comments about our Moderators because you were finally confronted about violating this forum's policies. Shame on you.

Honestly I didn't read the terms and conditions when I joined the forum.. So I had no idea.. Profit? I am in Canada and everone here is from the US (a few from Asia and a few from the UK). I probably have run into about 4 or 5 CDN users here in the forum.. Never have I pushed anything on anyone.. And "getting away with something".. Getting away with what? Just to let you know, I personally (only speaking for myself) am in your top 200 posters and never have I bought anything from any of the sponsors (unless Steve is a sponsor? Is he..?).. So you can imagine how much business can be generated here by using a domain name as your user name.. Probably none..
But, like I said.. Whatever.. It doesn't matter to me what my name is, I just wanted to let people know.

Hey ATS,
Although I understand, it stinks to have to change your name after all this time. Especially since you have in no manner (at least to my knowledge) pushed your site at all (although I admit I have been there
).

..
The ironic part is that you're probably getting more publicity NOW, with this thread (unintentional as it may be), than with your previous nick.
Just an observation.
BTW, I've read many of your posts, and the thought never even crossed my mind that your nick referred to an ACTUAL website. I guess I just took it as a nick, and that was it.
Anyway, it's good that the rules apply to everybody; unlike those damn HOV lanes! (don't get me started!)
