Like these changes matter, the messiness was what makes ATRL different. But its okay, when theres only 15 members and a handful of guests remaining on this site, the vermin will see the folly of their ways.
15 members....? maybe mariah fans. but thers 85 members viewing this thread... sooo
I understand that the changes were made and will remain changed, but I'm not sure I like the "what we say goes "mindset of the mods. Like, can we at least make some minor compromises? I have the utmost respect for you guys, but it seems to me that the community is not being heard.
Yes, the blogs were messy and they did need a clean out, but people still enjoy using it. I want to hear a complete announcement, thoroughly explaining the entire reasoning behind these decisions. No lies, no censoring specific reasons and no half-answers. If it was for advertisement/monetary reasons, so be it. But I do not like this secretive clique the mods seem to have. There is some shady stuff going on, because the servers are continuing to crash even after numerous + purchases and promises of a new server coming.
Where is the money going? Literal receipts need to be shown. The new server needs proof that it has been purchased, and we need UPDATES on the progress being made. I feel much of the uprising that's taking place in this thread is due to the fact that it came out of the blue, and the lagging server. If there was better communication between the community and the mods, then there would not be such an uproar. It's a game of give or take, and all that's happening is take. At least give us SOMETHING good.
I hope this didn't come off too offensively, but I feel it needed to be said.
Oh the "we made this decision, you can deal or leave the site"?
The people who run the site want the site to go in a different direction. We don't want explicit content and discussion to take place on the site amongst other changes. Therefore it was removed. Any website you sign up for that has a privacy policy and terms of use is not a democracy. We listen to the concerns of the members but when a decision is made the users can opt to stay with the site or leave. There's nothing groundbreaking about the decision.
Though TBH, why not just have people change their titles instead of the entire blog? I want to know why this idea was shot down in favor of changing the entire format.
Please answer this... I feel like its a legitimate question.
I mean we had a poll about which themes we wanted when we were going to jump to v5 (d. almost a year ago) but we can't get a poll seeing if we wanted the blogs removed or not? like come on. Give the people some choice in the matter.

Some of the overreactions in here. I mean I don't really agree on some of these rules but jeez. I think some of you genuinely think you're being oppressed or persecuted.

First they came for the blogs,
and I didn't speak out because I didn't blog.
Then they came for the explicit avis,
and I didn't speak out because I didn't have an explicit avi.
Then they came for SYG,
and there was no one left to speak for me.
