Only the iconic ones (as long as they don't change their avis), or the annoying ones 

I'm so addicted to ATRL and became a more active member

 

Influenced by besties @Supervillain, @YoungDreamer and @ahauntingnearu

I feel like people think this way about it me for better or worse, especially in The Lounge 

If it helps, for me you're just the cute guy who keeps posting selfies in that Roof thread 

no, I now refuse to be mean to anyone in case it turns out they've been nice to me in the past & im just not recognising them . im faceblind irl too 

ofc and I can spot dupes from miles away too

 

yes but when they change their avi it's like I have no idea who they are anymore 

Yes, off the top of my head I'm familiar with 273 usernames from across the site. I've also learned of which sections each of these members frequents and at what times every day of the week. Who they stan, who they hate, their reaction habits and post count growth by % since January 1st 2025.

There are members I think of as "characters" (as the Irish might say). 
 

I think it's inevitable that if your music taste centres around certain artists, that you will recognise certain members who also gravitate to those same artists.

 

Then again, my music tastes are varied and I like Ethel Cain and Lana Del Rey (for example), but I also like Jade and Pink Pantheress.
 

There are certain members I quietly empathise with (without them knowing), and others I think are genuinely crazy.

 

I don't prescribe to the notion that if you like a particular artist, that you must always believe the sun shines out that artist's ass - but I have noticed some people believe that to be a true fan of an artist, that you must never criticise the artist's choices, which I don't agree with as I find debate far more stimulating.

Ones I know yes 

I recognize people by their avis, some by their username, and a few that constantly make unhinged threads

Absolutely, there are a few character on here that i am a huge fan. Crazy how i might be someone's reminder that Gracie exists. 

Yes, usually because of their usernames

 

Only if they actually speak their mind and aren't afraid to get banned. A lot of people on here are fake because they're scared of the mods.

Some of them. Can't say the same for myself. I'm pretty much faceless and bored to invest during my 30s. 

Not ones with a default Avi

I don't know. I'm pretty iconic on ATRL

yes some of you stick out like a sore thumb 

Whenever I see @Feanori know I'm about to see some take on Tay filled with mental illness

I "know" a lot of users when I see them. There are quite a few frequent users on here. 

yes. and for the wrong reasons

 

A decent few. I've been here for awhile 

 

I only recognize people and their past behavior by their avatar. I see you flops.

I can't seem to remember what people tell me in real life either. I guess I'm just forgetful. 

 

Britney Army DO recognize me - they are waiting to catch me outside after the unhinged trolling I putted them through. 

Lambs DO recognize me - they don't know what to do with me cause I drag to pits Mariah for her problematic behavior but I'm also a huge stan at heart.

Impossible not to recognize @SchmoodRing, he'll quote your entire thread

 

It took me aback the first few times but I love him for it now ngl. There's just a passionate music fan behind the screen, no malice intended and never personal attacks unlike others. Love ya @SchmoodRing

 

I'm very observant. I'm always aware of who I'm around, whether online or off. I definitely recognize people.

I recognize most of my fellow Doja stans and the users I generally share the same taste with as we are usually in the same threads.
