Popular Post cOe Posted July 21 Popular Post Share Posted July 21 Forums are actually kind of dying now. I'd say that ATRL's activity in mid 2024 is actually pretty impressive 46 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 ATRL just had it's most popular browsing days in years a month ago. I'd say with many new members coming to this forum it's actually far from dying. People on here probably just prefer to use this instead of the actual pits of the internet that is stan twitter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The activity right now is in Twitter or discord. This is a dying medium pretty much and for that it's quite active to a certain degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orsay Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 We're still standing. I honestly didn't think the forum would make it this long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawk Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Although it might seem like it's "dying", I honestly can't think of many forums that have this much consistent traffic from its user base. That being said, like one user said, removing the three most recently responded to threads was an error imo, as well as not being able to change themes anymore. The ads are a bit annoying, but I understand why they are there. Overall, we are doing pretty good for being a 2000s pop site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen99 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 i mean, how many forums are still active from the ATRL hey days? how many forums are still active in general tbh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selena_lavigne Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) ATRL is still the best online forum in the world. There is nothing quite like waking up and listening to music and coming on here. And i'm 100% sure at least 1,000 other users feel the same way. Edited July 21 by selena_lavigne 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Considering what this site has been through, it's still very active. I can't really think of any other place where people can talk about pop music, politics, global news, technology, and celebrity memes all in one location. It doesn't make any sense and that's why it's so great. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
