Good evening ladies, gents and the Gheighs.
I, as a longstanding community member (though hardly ever getting to use the services due to my monthly stays in purgATRLry) am pretty concerned at the gentrification of this once great site. I understand that a Golden Age only lasts a specfic time, i.e. 2011-2012/early 2013). Members do move on, as they grow and leave ATRL for personal gain/families etc.
Yet, aside from the inside politics that MAY have taken place and this godawful server, why the change. Folks CAME to ATRL for the mess, the cattiness and the pretty brutal drags. Remember when Blogs was explicitly FUN? No Holds Barred v.1 and v.2? Just the downright foul and (actual) funny posts made by the folks.
Now, we cannot even have a general place to chat about reports/mess that was atrl HQ. Like, and this is a message to TPTB, can you not see that these policies are driving folkaway from your site. This neo-liberalism/centre-left polits isn't working.
So, instead of just deleting this thread (as you love to do), can we have a GENUINE discussion about this issue (and reminicsce over past mess).
and in regards to your server...i mean
