Distantconstellation Posted July 21 Posted July 21 (edited) A lot of people mention how atrl isn't as active as it use to be years back. But what caused it's downfall? Edited July 21 by Distantconstellation 1 1
Popular Post WonkieEye Posted July 21 Popular Post Posted July 21 Ads that make the site borderline unusable Removing that section at the top with the 3 most recently posted in topics with the redesign insufferable users pop music lowkey being a snooze fest the last several years 15 3
Popular Post cOe Posted July 21 Popular Post 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
KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 21 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

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
Life Savers Posted July 21 Posted July 21 ATRL is the only board that's kinda active out of those I've joined over the years.
Smarticle Posted July 21 Posted July 21 The 503 errors a while back. The security risk where people were logged into other people's accounts and quite a few people voluntarily deleted their accounts 1 1
Orsay Posted July 21 Posted July 21 We're still standing. I honestly didn't think the forum would make it this long 1
Sawk Posted July 21 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
Keter Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Here and LSA are still chugging along. LSA is basically our sister site the way y'all steal posts from over there! 2 4
Frozen99 Posted July 21 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...
selena_lavigne Posted July 21 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

Archetype Posted July 21 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
