The weird thing is I have 2 IPs

• Home IP - still unable to access ATRL

• Work IP - able to access ATRL now

Do I need to go to work to access ATRL from now on

What about Sunday

Let's celebrate Madonna instead on her big release day

The website being down on Madonna's release day is a big crime against gay's rights

so there is no answer on why the site was down for about 18 hours?

Can y'all give Ryan a chance to wake up and come online omg

To whom it may concern;

(Which is certainly not the active administration and moderation team that are doing what they can to keep the forum tidy and alive with the tools and circumstances given to them)

Do you think it's acceptable that we just had what could be Madonna's last album, which turned out to be a masterpiece, and also one of the biggest celebrity events in modern history with Taylor Swift's wedding and nobody could enter the forum to comment for about 24h? Isn't it embarrassing that a pop music and celebrity forum cannot ensure that it is accessible the moment ANYTHING noteworthy happens? The fact that we always have to comment on anything days after the fact and we cannot live in the moment?

Also, on top of that, isn't the bare minimum for community management to keep the community updated on why the site is not accessible? Why is it radio silence or "oops the servers!" everytime we have a major album release or event?

And yeah, it's not that serious, this is just a forum and some of us are employed and have a life to pay attention to, but this sheer neglect always comes in contrast with the moment there are asks to provide money to maintain the site. Where did the money that people put into those ATRL+ subscriptions go? Where does the ad money go? Where is the money that comes from the new Amazon merchandise inserts go?

Again, if you are a moderator or administrator this is not aimed at you, don't feel like you need to defend yourself. But it gets to a point, isn't it. This forum could thrive with industry insiders, in-the-moment discussion of music releases and capture the zeitgeist of anything that happens online. But no, we are stuck always coming LATE and discussing whatever the **** Xtina did 30 years ago. Embarrassing.

Have a good day.

@ATRL Administration @Rian @PenguinTim Can you please give this person a WP?

This generations stonewall

The meltdowns in here.

When's the next madonna release? We can try this again

Y'all can have 10000 x threads when Nicki associates with MAGA (which should be allowed)

But sneakily merge Taylor inviting an ICE director to her wedding ?

swiftie mods are totally out of control. why is the private, no-press-allowed wedding even referenced in the banner for one of the biggest pop culture moments this century?

The number of liddos that have been banned by the rampaging swifties only to be immediately overturned would make your head spin.

I reported someone in it and it was answered in literally 10 seconds

Not a good look if you ask me

Recently I found out that BTS stans have been plotting to infiltrate the mod team of a bunch of pop culture/music subreddits to make it nearly impossible to post any criticism on them without threads and comments being deleted or closed. I guess swifties took a page out of their book and did this on ATRL.

Swifties saying the mod team is mostly OTH and allow Taylor hate to run rampant on this site, Non-Swifties/OTH saying the mod team is all Swifties and that we're biased...

And you all wonder why you aren't taken seriously
