Due to a persistent issue with warnings not expiring when they should, we will now start reversing them manually. If you have 10 or more active warning points (the number displayed in your profile), send a help request with subject "WP cleanup". Your actual warning point total must be 4 or less (add up the warnings that have not expired). If you don't meet these requirements, your request will be ignored. Apologies for the inconvenience. The admins are committed to getting the forum back in working order. Note: If you're reading this while banned, you have to be logged in to be able to send a help request. If you were not eligible for a cleanup at the time of the ban, then you will stay banned.

It's that time of the year. If you want to help shape ATRL's community and you think you've got what it takes, this is your chance to join our team. We're accepting applications from anyone who's been a member for more than a year. In order to apply, all you have to do is send a PM to ATRL Apps, briefly introducing yourself and explaining why you would be a great moderator. Don't use more than 400 words. If you've applied before, you're welcome to do so again. If we're interested to hear more from you, we'll let you know. The deadline to apply is April 30th.

Welcome to ATRL's first Valentine's Day event! (I think?) This event revolves solely around Valentine's day themed avatars. The avies voted into the top 10 will win ATRL+. Perfect chance for newbies and anyone who doesn't have it! If anyone who already has it wins, they can choose a member to give it to. Post any avie you think is great in this thread along with a username and we'll tally them all up at the end. Starting this Wednesday @ 12 AM EST. Ends at @ 11 PM the same day. Get your avatars ready! Be creative and show us your best! Sign ups: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Despite less than ideal circumstances, we want to thank everyone who participated in the Best of 2017 forum this year. Activity was higher than we anticipated and we're glad this annual tradition continues to thrive. As promised, we have chosen ten threads that we feel excelled in some way. Their creators will be upgraded to ATRL+ status. Congratulations to: @AlexisNeiers @artangel @Delta @Dom @Green @prézli @shelven @Tom Vercetti @TRF. @Tsareena The forum will remain open one more day, so if you wish you can leave your final comments there as well.

They've been doing the job undercover for quite some time already but today we officially announce our new moderators: @Cantaloupe. (aka Devil) @Hug (aka Hugamari) @ManDown We also say goodbye to our dear friend @Era who can no longer combine his busy life with moderating the forum. Thanks to everyone else who applied!

Any new changes made will be posted here. Please note: Most changes will now be made off-site and brought in as an official update to avoid any issues working on a live site. Conversion Changes Only a limited amount of data was brought in with the upgrade, and some are not compatible with this forum. Please see below: BB Code - Any that exist within your signatures and PMs may not work. There's BBCode support that we're in the process of testing out, but it won't be as complex as what we had before. Post counts were initially transferred but have been automatically recounted by the software. There's no way for us to get it back at this point other than to do the transfer all over again.

Are you excited about the new ATRL and the future of this community? Do you want to contribute to its growth and help steer it in the right direction? We would love to hear from you. Anyone is allowed to apply, except members who joined us in 2017. If you've applied before, you're welcome to do so again. In order to apply, all you have to do is send a PM to ATRL Apps, briefly introducing yourself and explaining why you would be a great moderator. Don't use more than 400 words. If we're interested to hear more from you, we'll let you know. You can take your time to apply. As of now, there is no deadline, nor have we set a date for when any new mods will be added.

With the launch of the new forum, we've also taken the time to update our rules and guidelines. You can read them here. The biggest change is that you will now be banned for two weeks at 5 points, and for two months at 10 points. On top of that, warnings for vulgar and insensitive posts will now take longer to expire. Warnings for file sharing and file share requests are now permanent. Blogs are back, but the general rules apply to those as well. Don't use them to fight with other members, to drag celebrities, or to post vulgar content. We realize many of you won't be happy with these changes, but we feel it is a necessary step if we want to take ATRL to the next level. To compensate, everyone is starting with a clean slate. Permanent and temporary points were all wiped. Send a help request if you were somehow missed. NOTE: Temporary and permanent bans were not lifted. Temporary ones should expire normally, except the ones that should have expired during the downtime. If you are locked out for that reason, send a help request.
