75% of the most active members are banned. Look at any of the big threads it's the same 30 people posting.

The mods, seem to think having a lot of accounts = active, but how many are actually posting regularly compared to the amount of users?

Yes I think they should raise the amount of WPs one could get before getting banned.

It is about the same.

You are kidding right? Very few of the most active posters are banned.

Who knows?

We haven't noticed a significant drop-off in terms of reports/help requests/HQ activity, if that counts for anything.

This

Just wait until Rihanna releases

Thanks for letting us know!

Idk. Feels the same to me.

It's Summer.

I guess less people come on in the Summer.

Despite the amount of members increase over the years that are on ATRL regularly, it does seem that the site is not as lively as it was before. Don’t get me wrong, ATRL is far from being dead, just not everyone is as active as they used to and not much is going on. The amount of members may be increasing, but the activity has drop by a slight amount each year. That’s what I feel. People are just busy these days or they had it with the slow server from last year and the limitations set for this site to keep it going like implementing the amount of time to search again (search is disabled for guests). Maybe when the upgrade arrives , it will be better. Plus it’s summer on my side of the world. Everyone is out having fun and they rather do that than be lazy on this site I guess. I’m just here and there, but mostly working on speeches and online homework for summer class. I’m getting less active on this each year since I’m been back. Actually this month is most active I’ve been this year mostly for the World Cup and only appeared in 2014 to finish up my year-end countdown that I didn’t complete by the time the Best of ended. I noticed that I pretty much posted on every section on ATRL (Even Celebria! Excluding Base and Blogs) this month at least and even saw the home page (by accident) because oddly that’s not the first place I enter the site. I guess because not having an active countdown at the moment contributed to that. Whatever. Just my two cents.

I remember it used to be 250 in base and 150 in music late at night here, it's a lot less now

Eh, a little it seems. Probably because nothing big is happening in any of the girls' careers.

Well, this was an essay, but it pretty much sums it up. I guess.
