Sorry but if you have a curved avi I'm going to automatically assume that you're twelve and you only just found the curve function in your pre-installed free download of GIMP on your second hand 2008 Windows Vista OS Acer laptop.

Worst part about that error is that it wasn't originally there and it was a word I changed right before I hit submit.

No but I am going to

What makes me a TOP MEMBER is that you can expected the unexpected from me.

I usually just go by Vespertine, though sometimes I see it shortened to Vesp/Vespa/Vespie. A select few also call me Dylan. Whatever floats your boat, really
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
(if you placed winner, runner-up, or third place, your application will automatically be declined)
Nope!
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I stan for Louis Tomlinson. Isn't that all you need to know?

Dancehall. Michael if you're feeling some type of familiar way.
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
Nope.
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
Branding. The Dancehall™ name and related imagery (the smilies and avis) are instantly recognizable. Long have I been slaying my niche alternative market, but recently I am starting to cross over. Examples of my impact: I still see my gifs, that I made years ago, being used, I just saw a custom gaycat posted in the thread, a trend I started (thought of the idea and commissioned the first PokéCat, as well as made some of the first), and even besides the Dancehalls, other smilies wouldn't exist without me (i.e.  and some seasonal smilies.) |

2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
Yep, Participated last season (Cycle 10) and finished in 9th place, competed in the comeback challenge and was brought back, and was sent packing again in 5th(?) place!
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I was still fairly new when I did the last cycle. I was just over 6 months old, and I can say I was still trying to find myself as an ATRL member. Here we are now, and I've almost been here a year, how time FLIES. I've participated in other highly respected tournaments like Big Brother and Charm School (where I was the runner-up) and I can say I've found a name for myself. I've been so dedicated to ATRL and I feel that I have worked the hardest out of a lot of members. I didn't come here to be brushed under the rug like 97% of the members here.
I came to be apart of the 3% that has a presence.

I would prefer to be called by my ATRL username, Sam Jay.
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
I have not competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before, and I'm hoping that this will be my big debut!
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
Now that I've been a registered member of ATRL for over half a year (albeit browsing for well over a year before my registration), I've been able to experience many different aspects of ATRL. There's the excitement of a new single or album being announced in Music News, there's the intrigue in finding out what all of our favourite (and not-so-favourite) artists are up to in Celebria and of course polls and general discussions about music and other things in the Base and Lounge sections. So I think that in order to be a true part of the ATRL community you need to be active in all areas of the site, all of which I feel I am.
In order to be a top member I don't necessarily believe that you need to be the most active, have the most posts or even be the most liked. Being a top member isn't just about being the best member on ATRL, but also about being the best member that you can be. Whether that's being a bit shady and making people laugh, sharing an opinion on a topical issue or experiencing a new track with other fans of a particular artist. ATRL is first and foremost a community for music fans, and being an all-around part in that community is what puts me one step closer to being ATRL's Next Top Member.
ATRL's Next Top Member can't just be anyone, of course. They have to be different. They have to be unique. They have to stand out. I feel like my time on ATRL has opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about music, and I feel like I also want to help continue this and open others' eyes to having new ways of thinking about music, too. Being a top member isn't just about embracing change, but striving towards it, too.
I have drive, I have character, and most of all, I have a desire to succeed. I don't want to come into this thinking, "Well there's always next time," because just as you start to create a safety net for yourself to fall back on is exactly when you're opening yourself up to failure. I'm not coming into this for a "thanks, but no thanks". I'm going to give it everything I've got. And that, I believe, is why I am ATRL's Next Top Member.

I would preferred to be called just Keshafied, seems creative and original!
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
First time, only joined ATRL this year.
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I believe what makes me a top member is how i'm new, i'm fresh and still have no idea what is going on. I'm a very kind member towards one another, and I do try to help people out when is needed (minus gif making = nightmare). I'm an young inspiring Australian song writer/composer/producer/singer in the making. My love for music is crazy as hell and I'm committing myself to a 2 year studies to get my cert IV and degree for it, this shows you I'm an dedicated person to things that I love!!

Just Dom I guees, cause that's a shor version of my icky name which is hard to remmeber cause it's Lithuanian "Domantas" So call me Dom
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
Yes I did compete last season I placed, if I'm not mistaken at 9-8th place, because I quit, I didn't wanted to, but just a lot of things we're going in my life school, and health issues. But it's a perfect time now, since it's almost summer and I have plenty of free-time.
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I actually don't know how to answer this, I don't wanna lie that I'm special or that I'm better than others, because I don't think I am. I'm just, maybe a creative and friendly person who likes to do everything on his one. I'm not very talkative, because I'm afraid to say something stupid or insulting. I just try to focus on challenges and do my best, if I fail, I fail.

Well I can be called in two ways: Emri, because it sounds like an actual name in my oppinion or the equivalent of my name (Ionut in romanian) that is John in english. So I can be called by these two names.
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
(if you placed winner, runner-up, or third place, your application will automatically be declined)
No, this is my first doing and I'm really excited!
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I don't want to go all in by the first quest, and I really don't like calling myself as the best, the funniest, the most beautiful etc. (well maybe a little) but what I can say is that I will strive to be the next TOP MEMBER!

Easy enough, I would like to be called Jake.
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
Yes, I participated in Season 2 (which was 5 years ago ) I believe I came in 7th place, as I had the most confusing member title at the time.
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I've matured since I last played. I know all of the ins and outs about ATRL, and I'm willing to prove why I should be the next Top Member.

M3 but my real life nickname is "bitch" (i wish i was joking). I'm okay with either M3 or bitch.
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
No
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I'm unbiased. I look at things both ways. However i do shamelessly promote my fave once in a while. Also i know how to be humorous and make people enjoy ATRL. I mean just like at my AVI for a quick cute cackle. I'm very skilled with photoshop, the day i get a single thread i'm going to make a ***flawless banner. I'm also a very skilled gif maker (which is very important here). One of my fave unused ones

2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
I was, by a stroke of luck by the Lorde herself, used as a substitute for a contestant who got banned within moments of getting into the competition, in Cycle 8. I ended up placing 10th, but I never actually left as anyone who was in that cycle will tell you.
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
Firstly: Dedication. This will be my fourth time trying out for ATRL's Next Top Member.
Secondly: Other top members have put in good word for me. A top member knows other top members when they see one.
Thirdly: Ratings. I am essentially a ratings magnet, and the amount of people tuned in to see what I will do next will be of epic proportions.
Also, I just so happen to be a visionary. I envision season 11 to be my season tbh. Bring it.

2: Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
I have never competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before. I am new to the games section on ATRL and have only taken part in one other tournament and I hope to take part in this one.
3: Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
What makes me a top member? Hmm... What makes me a top member is that I have a personality that you'll never forget. I use a combination of hashtags, foolishness, and wit in my posts which draws attention to them. You know it's me who typed a post that has #slé or some other hashtag in it. I also have a desire to win. I want to win everything. No matter what it is, I want to win. Personally, I think I'm the most competitive person I've ever met. Not that this has to do with anything, but I also have seen every cycle of America's Next Top Model so if you throw any references, I'll be the first to catch them (insert winky face and gaycat smiley).
I've been lurking in the old ANTM threads and it seems like a really fun time and I really want to be a part of this game. I want to show all the judges that I am not just some messy Azealia stan, I am smart, kind, and funny. Give me a chance to show ATRL who I am, please. This may not be the best entry you get but I hope you think about it. Please consider accepting me into ATRL's Next Top Member. I will be sure to give it my all and put forth my best effort. You won't regret it! xoxo- Jax

2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
Twice. Last place in Cycle 5 because my Year-End Top 3 for 2010 was too Disney and 12th in Cycle 8 in an MC round.
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
A TOP MEMBER doesn't let irrelevant bitches keep them from enjoying ATRL
I've been a member since 2008, and a lot of members have liked to ridicule my actions, but it hasn't stopped me from being an active person in the games section, hosting an A-List 40 countdown in Your Top Ten, posting in various Music News threads (Cassadee Pope, Demi Lovato, Samantha Jade, Austin Mahone, etc.), blogging, occasionally posting in PYP with controversial photos and communicating with other members through Facebook, twitter and Last FM. If a top member enjoys a site, they'll stick with it because at the end of the day the site is more relevant than all the members that pick on you, drag you and shade you and that's how I see it with me.
A TOP MEMBER MAKES IMPACT WITH THEIR OWN IDEAS AND NOT SOMEONE ELSES
In 2010, I created the ABC Singles Game. After I reached the Letter L, Ray Bass took-over and finished it off. This game influenced Mr. Duff to create the ABC game for albums and Simon1120 to create the ABC game based on Artist's name. Adr also gave me credit for starting this game when he revived the game in 2014. In 2011, after I took an 8 month hiatus from this site, I came back and created the Hot 100 hits musical chairs game, which inspired Stereo_Love to create it for the Canadian Hot 100 and for tell_me_lie to create one for the UK Singles Chart. In addition, two of my former avatars, one of Sims 2 character Dina Caliente and one of Humongous Junior Adventures Character Freddi Fish, were used as shady pics by Kavish and Gatsby (Rem). Jessie_Mulay also tried exposing Teddy Michaels after I tried exposing a member named MimiLAMb (not the one that signed up for this game though LOL). My point is, a TOP member shouldn't rely on LaToya GIFS or threads that have to do with saying that a pop girl looks the age of a little kid or teenager or have to use a picture of someone peaking through blinds or that some girl has a haircut or outfit that is so bad that it has to be described as "tragic". They should be able to make an impact without having to go to annoying and generic ATRL trends
And lastly:
A TOP MEMBER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY BOTH ATRL AND THEIR ACTUAL LIFE
At the end of the day, you shouldn't have to rely on ATRL to make your life interesting and special. There are some people on this site that think they can't breathe without ATRL if they get themselves banned from here for a month. Now I've gotten banned numerous times over the years, most recently in January after I lasted 19 months without getting banned. And go figure, I got banned during the middle of my Winter Break. Did that stop me from enjoying Winter Break? No. I celebrated my birthday with my Mom at Olive Garden and hung out with one of my homegurls while she was in town on her own Winter Break. Plus, as I've gotten more active around my city while going to school, events and simply just daily tasks while also taking care of my new chocolate lab dogs, I'm not on ATRL as much. I'm still active, but you're less likely to see me after midnight or during the afternoon on a Weekday when I could be at school or picking up groceries or my parent's prescriptions or taking my dogs out into the yard to play. If you're a top member, you should be able to enjoy this site while also enjoying your actual life

I'm not clique-ish and I don't let stan wars keep me from associating with other members or enjoying good music
I post in all different sections, and I like discussing a variety of topics
Everything from posting too many gifs in SYG, to clocking racists in Blogs
There's never a dull moment when I'm in the mix
In addition to my... colorful personality,
I'm really good with graphics and coding
I love dressing up and embellishing my posts
I'm a box of chocolates
What can I say
I'm sure to add a bit of spice to the competition if chosen
I'll bring the kii's, the fire, the beers and the borderline explicit poems about Zayn's instagram selfies
Your dynasty ain't complete without a twink like me

I prefer to be called with my name on atrl which is ♥jONE731♥ than Joshua in my real life, Wanna know why do i pick ♥jONE731♥ instead of my real name? First the heart signs cames from Taylor Swift as everyone know it's her heart signs that everybody loves and talks about her, a signature that will never erase on taylor stans around the world take for example her Ours music Video. 
I also decided to change it to ♥jONE731♥ back from the time when there's a free change of username i decided to change it from jone631 into ♥jONE731♥. It was spelled out like that, as you can see the capital letters are "ONE" (1) which means i am the number one in everything that fight or going through, i can site this tournament for example
2. Have you competed in ATRL's Next Top Member before? If so, which cycles and where'd you place?
(if you placed winner, runner-up, or third place, your application will automatically be declined)
I think i already sign with one of Matty Game where we send pictures by ourselves and the judges where KT&T and Marnie which are my best friends here 
But i don't think this is the game
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
A 2008 member makes me more suitable for that title and i do believe it's my time to shine and be the next Atrl Top Member.
As i answer the #1 question it is clearly state that i should be the ONE in every thing i fight for, to be the best among the best, be more productive as everyone else, there is only one person you can trust for your whole life and that's you, yourself and your ego

I didn't make it but then someone got banned like before the Top 8, I think and I made it until the Top 5? I don't remember, it was on my first months here, on ATRL.
3. Out of all of the ATRL members, what makes you a TOP MEMBER?
I'm a Top Member because I don't get into silly stan wars. I won't deny that I didn't participate in one, I've been in thousands of them but now I'm just here to get news and enjoy the music, I do enjoy most of the popstars even if they flop *Looks at Britney Jean and Artpop* I barely post, I think is time to rise up and be part of the ATRL community again and for me this is the better way to do it, get to know the newbies and drag the oldies, I'm looking at you Dairy Queen

3. Ok whew haha I kinda sorta don't like "Tell us about yourself" type questions and skimming through past cycles, there seems to be quite a few of those. But that's part of why I'm trying to compete in this.
So, what makes me a top member. I'm too humble for my own good so please bear with me K well, I'm iconic, loved, a role model, a veteran, funny, trend setting, unique and most importantly, beautiful. #tbh
I'm not local to the Games section (hehe) and I'm easily recognized with my Victoria's Secret and Disney avis and of course, my blue font I'm also the OP of the Pokémon thread, the 2nd biggest thread in The Lounge, and arguably the leader of the Pokémonsters.
I wrote like a page about like my life story but I think I'll just save that for a challenge (when I hopefully make it) since it didn't really answer this question anyway I hope you pick me, thanxx!

I'm actually in it to win it. I'm not here for the other competitors, or their Messy Drama. I'm here to Win & Slay!
ALSO:

As you can see I'm one of the top competitors in the biggest loser hosted by Katie.
This is my receipt that proves I'm in it to win it

This is why you're always supposed to go with your instincts.
