ATRL: atrl would be better if...

ChapStick

atrl would be better if...

everyone is aware that changes are coming to atrl, but what are some other ways you envision the site improving?

if you plan to stick around through all the changes, let's come together collectively to think of ways we can assist in making the transition smoother and creating a new and unique atrl experience for everyone who visits the site.

think outside the box. don't just think about design or server improvements that could be made. think along the lines of how we can improve or reinvent the way we interact.

~~#Justice4DirtyTalkBlog~~ I think all the plans they have so far sound great - the most anticipated obviously being the quote notification system. There's a few small flaws but as for the big picture, there's not really much that needs to be changed nor improved.

But there's some evident ones like the server and such.

EDIT: fff at people already not taking this thread seriously. I saw this coming from a mile away.

if Lady Gaga got a banner like when Britney's Xfactor banner was placed in the header for the groundbreaking "event."

Innovation. artpop.. Also a subsection next to celebria for only gaga related threads.. .smash!

Maybe a giveaway or a TRL-like count down for best video. I could see give-aways being big because people are obsessed with sales, so people would kill for their fave to get any extra sales. An official TRL weekly countdown could be run by someone really active or who loves to do rates and it could be pinned. I'm sure people would pit it out in there now that video views/streaming count for the Hot 100.

ATRL is the house that Britney built. It would totally take away the significance of the event if it was given to anyone else

Honestly, I'd really love to have some big stanbase-centric events with rewards. Like, a stanbase could be a team and accomplish certain goals or make a sort of cooperative project. I don't know. I just think it would be fun.

What part of Lady Gaga's recent timeline could possibly be considered a "groundbreaking event"?

Features I'd like to see (whether it's possible or not):

☆Base/Stanbase badges | Only allowed to join one at a time. Competitions should be held to create one for each base
☆Quote notifications
☆Ability to quote directly by typing inside the post's area instead of loading the 'post new reply page'
☆Like/thumbs up system

so like "Yasss" as thumbs up and "Mess" as thumbs down.
☆Page tracking so you can see which threads you recently visited without having to search.
☆Q&A system, if someone asked a question in a Q&A thread they can mark their post as answered.
☆Post auto-saves, y'know how the server flops on us? auto saves would be cute.
☆Real time previews of BBCodes
☆Reward Badges which can be won through solo and base tournaments and displayed in the profile area on the left.

Kinda like the Beyhive and the Navy trying to get each other banned?

I want the R in ATRL to be the Rihanna logo since she's the Queen around here

Okay, we're taking it more seriously. A lot of the stuff mentioned so far sounds amazing but I've always thought about possibly making ATRL more...known, in the real world. We already have some celebrities on here (Bill Werde, Lady Gaga) and I know a bunch more want accounts. It'd also be nice if we could get ourselves out there more. A lot of our big threads end up being sources for articles!

We live for the fame fame baby, the fame fame.

There was going to be ATRL+/a music-related cheap item from Amazon prize for this one game in the Games section but so far it's not working out.

But maybe we can start doing more if we get permission, but yas giveaways and fun little competitions for real prizes would be great.

No.

I was on another forum and the likes system made things so messy. I don't think it'll fit in a place like this at all.

I think it would be cool if we broke down Base a little bit. It was clearly one of the best additions to the site over the past year (or has it been even longer already?) Since it receives so much daily traffic, now might be a nice time to clean house and organize it a bit more... Perhaps breaking down base house threads by genre (so Top 40 for the main pop girls, overall Pop, Rock, R&B, EDM, Hip-Hop/Rap, Country, Alternative/Indie). This would make it more balanced, so we still see all of the threads from the pop acts we all love while shining some light on up-and-coming talent. I think that's fair. We get so consumed by these Queen A vs Queen B song, album, image, sales threads that we forget to share new music with each other.

Maybe a bit nicer.

Like, it could be a sort of competition. The stanbase who does best on whatever it is could win something.

I have no idea what they'd win tho.

Edge and I have a new game that we're going to put up right after I finish hosting Secret Santa, so shortly after Xmas. I'll be giving out Plus to the top contenders of that game
