I discovered this site 4 years earlier before I joined, in 2002, is when I discovered ATRL. I wanted to look for a great TRL site, for C/D recaps just in case i missed a show because at the time I was obsessed with TRL, unlike now
, then I found this site, & it was perfect, I came to this site as guest numorous of times back in it's early years when it was Absolute ATRL but did not join because I was too busy with school, & at the time I was only interesting for C/D recaps & I was a member at the MTV Message Boards which I'm not anymore, but then 4 years later, I'm like oh what the heck, so I joined, but yeah I pretty much knew about this site for a long while since I was 14 & now i'm 20.
