On the eve of April 18, 2014. Moderators were invited by a member in a thread.
The thread you are about to see was captured over the minutes that followed.
No topic was off limits. No question was left unanswered.


On this thread, we can ask the mods any question we like.

How did your mod status come to be? Who appointed you?
Which artists do you stan for?
Do you dislike some members?
Do you know any ATRL member in real life?
Do you have favorite mods or members?

Spill it sisterens...

And to the other ATRL members, here's your chance to ask the mods anything. Speak now.

How did your mod status come to be?
I bought a new server for Athens and he gave me the title in-return.

Who appointed you?
Athens with a little persuasion from Ace Reject and Katie.

Which artists do you stan for?
Mariah Carey, but I pretend to stan Britney to fit in the with the rest of the squad.
#BuyBritneyJeanAndATRL+

Do you hate some members?
Only the people that send help requests. I mean, ch.. you think I got time to respond to that?

Do you know anyo ATRL member in real life?
I don't think so. I'd love to meet some of you one day tho.

I'd like to hope that mods would take a joke but seeing as I got reported with quicKness by some pressed soul, I'll await the pm.

1) We were born
2) Athens
3) Like a ton but let's just say Britney and leave it there
4) No
5) Yes, one who I am good friends with IRL
6) Nope, no fave mods, I love them all and they've been great to me while I've been on the team. Too many fave members to count.

Shade!

Talk that talk to me yeah...

Sit down for an interview Foxay! I'll bring coffee.

I thought you were the Gaga mod

Us Monsters are declining everyday

Sure, why not? I'll play!


How did the moderators come to be?
Who appointed them?
TC appointed myself, Matty, and Celestial in December of 2010. We were introduced as moderators on a tier base (tenured mods to new mods). We only had a portion of the moderating capabilities. It was sort of like a trial period, ensuring that we were able to correctly handle the position. After a full year with that system, TC did away with it once he announced his retirement and named Athens and JDM his successors as CO-ADMINISTRATORS.

Which artists do you stan for?
I only stan for Britney, but I am a huge fan of Bey and Tamia. For me stanning just means that there is a level of loyalty to that person and knowing nearly everything about that person. I mean, I have literally been here for Britney since '98. She was the first person I ever truly was a fanatic for (posters, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, cds, concerts, etc). I was such a teenbopper. As for Tamia and Bey, I love them musically and personally as well. I may not follow every detail of their life, but their music, I've always been here for. I have tremendous respect for them as classy black women in the industry doing their own things.

Do you hate some members?
Hate? No! That's too strong of a word and too much investment to be had. Now if you ask, are there people you have disliked over the years? I would say absolutely! None at the moment though because I'm just not as connected socially to all the members as I once was between '08-'11.


Do you know anyone ATRL member in real life?

No, not personally. Do you have favorite mods or members? Favorite moderators? No, I like the blend that we have in the staff. But Matty and Lee, we find ways to chat here and there, but mostly through twitter or PMs.

Where is that from, I screamed

A commercial for that tablet thing featuring applause

I was going to answer these questions, but then, I noticed that it was for CURRENT ATRL mods, not former.

Do any of you dislike me? Why?

Do any of you like me? Why?

Call me foxay.

ɪ'ᴍ ɴᴏᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪɴɴᴏᴄᴇɴᴛ!

come on answer

Thanks

Alright, I'll play. Everyone else should too.

Who appointed me?
Retro appointed me because he's obviously the most powerful mod out of all of them.

Which artists do you stan for?
Katy Perry and Bruno Mars mostly, but I stan for JT, P!nk, and Kelly Clarkson as well.

Do you hate some members?
Not really. Hate is too strong a word for a figment of imagination that the internet made.

Do you know anyone ATRL member in real life?
I guess Razzle and jomarr count since I've met them in real life, but other than that, no.

Do you have favorite mods or members?
Retro because he reverses warnings if you harass him enough. It's kinda cute.

Did some post got deleted or what?
