I haven't been able to access the Music section in days.

No one is gonna use a new site. Doesn't matter if the loading is the speed of lightning.  It's a shock people still flock to ATRL. 
 

Let's be real honest.

Yep. People kinda take pride in their accounts. When the hard reset happened years ago that was an easy transition because that was before reputation points and badges. The only thing started over was the post counts. Having EVERYTHING possibly restarting is a little jarring. 

Dark mode came and went like:

 

 

will wps, existing wps, bans be counted on the discord atrl? will the wps/bans crossover to the site? would profanity be allowed on the discord server? oh and please bring the downvote emote & the "xyz user has been warned" bot to the server for the mess.

I love the spirit about moving to a new site but I need y'all to know that it would effectively end ATRL and will not replace the (yes, shaky) experience we have now. the majority of members will not want to migrate to a new site. I've seen this happen before and it in this case it would end with basically killing off a 25 year old giant.

The giant is already dead. His own owner doesn't gaf, why should we? The user experience is miserable, like, this is unsustainable. Only Lounge and HQ loads for me, no Base, no Celebria, no Music, no Entertainment. 

Wait, is the owner ignoring Ryan and the other mods? What's happening?!

Our server security is set up like the Department of Defense lol. Don't have access to export. I could set up a redirect though to whatever new site we make by taking this place offline and pushing all traffic there. Still doesn't mean people will 1) join and 2) post.

 

Might do a site wide survey gauge in interest though. 
 

There so many plans we've held off because of the issues (original content like interviews, a podcast, album and TV reviews, etc). You have no idea how many interview opportunities I had to turn down since last summer. *sigh*

I even would gladly pay for the IPS theme upgrade of Invision5 version, if that helped to move. I have seen its like 40 bucks. But I doubt the money is issue here 

Can we put a redirect straight from here to the new website if it happens?

how bout we just disable WPs all together ?? i mean has anyone even considered that maybe all the pointless WPs are clogging up the servers (no i don't know what im talking about)

 

Now i have to learn what a discord is

If that happened. We’d carry over post counts.

1) No

2) No

3) Fuck yeah

4) idk I’ll ask the mods 

Not the servers going full MAGA and destroying dark mode during Trump's presidency

It feels homophobic and racist at the same time

 

not the spam private messages about other forums starting... it was bad for ATRL.

 

Pop Sizzle? Do they think this is a joke? 

 

No shade but I almost hit that sign up button 

 

Not pop sizzle

 

 

Am I the only one that doesn't get invited

 

Oh they're poaching us

 

Thought it was @Post Malone in my dm's but wtf is a PopSizzle

they would. atrl users are junkies. a single afternoon to ourselves is simply too much to deal with and we are checking our phones when we go outside to see if its up.
