NEW QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY ATHENS!

PMs, Notifications, Friends Online - As the name suggests, you'll be able to quickly see your active friends, join threads they're participating in or quickly send them messages. You'll also have the option to turn those features off if you prefer anonymity.
What kind of stuff can be bought in the ATRL Store?
You can consider each feature in the ATRL+ subscription we have now an "item". They're just premium features you can get separately. We will be revealing the ATRL+ store once we have a confirmed list of features.
will the new server be active by the end of the year?
I will personally throw a tantrum if it is not.
1. Will "Best of... [Year]" fall under the Personal section now?
2. Can we see a sample of what an actual thread page will look like?
3. The Entertainment section looks brilliant, but it only covers TV/ movies... Should Books + Video Games get their own subcategories here too? Not that we talk much literature around here, but video games are popular...
1. For archiving yes, but Best of will still be a major event complete with the gold banner and a separate section when it's running.
2. We'll have that out soon.
3. What you see in the mockup isn't final. There's an ongoing staff discussion about what gets covered where and all the new prefixes we'll be adding.
R.I.P to LiveWire. That's the only theme I've used in my 5 years here. Am sad.
I'll probably use Absolute though.
New King, tbh.
Some of the new themes are based off of retired themes. The different names just gave me a little more freedom to explore a new direction without worrying about faithfulness to the original.

It's definitely still there. When you hover over [Personal], you'll see the option for Blogs and YTT. When in Blogs, you'll see an option to switch over to YTT and vice versa. They're still completely separate parts of the forum.
bye why wasn't my name included in the screenshots
Names used in the mockups are current ATRL+ users.
Is there any reason why the tracking for some of the characters is so spaced out though? (The thread titles for example on the second screenshot) it kinda hurts my eyes a bit.
Some of the elements are from past concepts and weren't updated in the final draft. Issues like that aren't a priority as they won't be reproduced in the markup.
By responsive, does it mean we're going to have some live visuals? Such as, we scroll over something like "The Lounge" tab and the screen moves right along to give a preview of it without switching page URLs (Or something similar, at least)?
Responsive means that the site will transform and reorganize elements to best display on the current width of the browser window or mobile device. Here's an example of responsive design: http://gizmodo.com/
Just resize your browser's width to see it in action.
are the subareas permanent?
or can we just view the whole sections like we can now..
so do we have a option to use the areas?
Almost all of those subareas are just filters. It works the same way it does now, but now you'll have access to them in the navigation menu.
The "FEATURE THREAD" I'm confused, the pics of the stars how does that work? Do you guys post the pics there? Or is that for like the Most popular thread? Like the most popular post. How does that work. Cause that caught my eye to most. It really makes the site look different.
Moderators can feature threads to be displayed on the front page. They will also add an appropriate image from the article to use as the main thumbnail.
