Well, I joined in 2007. But I remember ATRL back then. It was really fun, but I was 13 back then and some of other things, I didn't fully understand.
YTT was quite of a hit back then too. There was also Queen Brina in 2008, plus members like Eddie, Vato, Recess, Mazen, Trina (I forget her name, but it was 1-N-Only21 something), Intra, the Kely mess, etc.
i feel bad for the guy who feels uncomfortable due to gagas influx of gays we should campaign for more straight people to come so people dont feel alone or weirded out
When I joined it was a lot more relaxed, discussion could get messy, but your head wouldn't get bit off if you made comments.
Popfusion era was sad, quiet, and pretty uneventful
When we turned back into atrl, things slowly became what we have now especially post-Gaga, things changed fast at that point
But I remember ATRL back then. It was really fun, but I was 13 back then and some of other things, I didn't fully understand. 
Forever thankful.
