Why cannot ATRL afford reliable servers?

[pigeon]

ATRL literally has a server problem for a decade now. They changed the provider, they introduced ads but still the servers keep crashing harder than Katy crashing on the charts. Why?

[WEEKND]

I don't get it either 

 

just charge the swifties they have money to spare 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Good question 

[Katamari]

Lack of a budget 

[NEX]

I also don't understand why Ryan doesn't want to introduce some kind of premium membership or member donations to help with the server costs. Some of us are happy to contribute 

[Attitude]

I think they've said it's the actual owner of the site that's preventing server issues from being fixed? 

[Popboi.]

Who's supposed to pay for the server, Beyoncé? Taylor?

Atrl owner @Iceland embezzles all the money

Reddit and its free hosting has killed forums entirely.  ATRL still being alive at all, let alone at this level of activity and impact with such a small niche is borderline unheard of in the 2020s

[Hollywood.]

Do they even still offer those paid ATRL+ memberships? Not that it helped much back in the day.

There's some random middle aged straight man who owns this site and he's probably been emotionally checked out for over a decade. Every time he logs back in he sees another thread about Applause vs Roar, rolls his eyes and shuts his laptop

For what it's worth, I'm also happy to contribute.

its not a matter of money, the owner put full-screen ads on everyone's devices and the server is worse than ever

 

it's pure disinterest in the site atp

Why is your remark about applause vs roar such an accurate depiction of atrl nnnnnn

[magazine]

Oh, no money would make me agree to host this HELL of a website

 

ATRL is out of options, I fear

Stump up the money and we'll stop saying you're gay @Zachary Levi 

[Saint James]

i heard the owner is not very accomodating and that's the main block to any substantial changes

It's actually pretty disgraceful tbh

The irony that I kept getting 404'd trying to get into this thread
