How did you discover it?
Was it because of my awesomeness or what

ONTD, which was serendipitous because I was getting tired of ONTD anyway

Not sure. I lurked Atrl in 2007, but was too scared to join then.

Through members on Nicki Boards

Tumblr.

Yes it was because of you

A friend of mine joined and told me about it. He ended up lasting like 1 day and here I am 3+ years later.

When I heard the rumor Gotye died, a thread in ATRL appeared in my Google search and I started lurking and waited for the registration to open.

I used to use a music site call MartianTV for music news. When it got shut down I googled music news sites and Pop Overdose & ATRL were the top two options

OMG Me too!

I googled "Billboard hot 100 formula" and i got to an atrl thread.

Don't think I'm that new but :
I was googling things like ''Is *insert album title* a flop? '' And I found this messy forum, the jokes, the gifs were hilarious. Then I did a research about ATRL, it was saying the %99 of the members were male on a site and I was like ''Oh, I thought it would be full of girls, so there are guys who like disgussing these kind of topics '' Never thought %98.9 of that %99 would be gay, but I didn't really care cuz they were hilarious people (mostly)

ONTD refugees

The whole Katy vs Gaga mess brought me in and never left since.
