The experience itself has gone down. It's less scandalous and there are less "OMG, great thread" moments. Also, the "Over capacity" messages just make it unbearable to be on here longer than 15-30 minutes at a time.


But I can't complain. I'm pretty much a video game section junkie now and the community in there is great.

I'd answer the question but ATRL is over capacity at the moment.

[Mr.Link]

Horribly down.
Most of the fun posters are gone and since the sign ups are rarely open we can't even replace them.
Everyone is a clone of everyone and nothing really interesting has happened since 2011.

As for the OC errors, I used to be tolerant but why can't they just shut the whole site for a whole week or so, work on everything that needs to be fixed and then re-open? It's been like this for months now...

From a technological perspective, downhill. Back in 2011, you only had to wait 15 seconds between searches and I don't remember receiving frequent over-capacity messages. Now you can't search at all.

Downhill. We could swear & post file sharing links. But other kinda gone uphill too because now you can't swear and post file sharing links. But it's gone downhill because its always over capacity.

I agree with the censorship but sharing file links are illegal. Do you want FBI to shut ATRL down and get their servers cleaned dry and y'all IP addresses investigated and exposed?

[Penk]

Since I've joined the OC errors seem to be coming more and more. I'll say downhill just because of that.

The FBI has better things to do than look into file sharing, it's the labels and ISP's that do that.

Ah, to have searching capabilities. I can't even remember the last time I was able to re-read something I posted in a thread I may have forgotten about.

Y'all be scared when y'all asses got into jail. Well, it's not like I'm in USA to care.

So true, sis.

Imagine ATRL turning into a videogame forum because the music industry cannot sustain itself anymore.

[Lippy]

Down. I think around March 2012 it fell down rapidly. No real personalities, just stan **** & hopeless efforts to gain respect by being cocky and "dragging people's faves".
Censoring pissed me so much & let's not get to OC errors.
Also you get WPs for every little messy thing you do, it's not even funny.

[BabyCantYouSee]

I joined ATRL at the wrong time. The first month was great, I loved the atmosphere and everything. But after that first month, it started to go downhill IMO.

[LCTV]

Downhill. I can barely browse the damn site without it being Overloaded every 40 seconds.
Search is disabled.. this is a mess.

[SixWholeYears]

Down.

[getback]

Both up and down But it's still the best forum

[Exotic]

Downhill.

[★NAOKI★]

Downhill DEFINITELY. I remembered when I first joined; it was EPIC, but a lot of things can change in a year:

1. We no longer have NHB because some members couldn't handle it.
2. SYG is boring now with the constant Demi and Beyonce drags.
3. Increased censorship, I mean What is this, Full House?! Oh, you guys are talking about underwear? NOPE. REJECTED. DELETED.
4. I barely post anymore because of the Over Capacity messages.
5. All of the interesting threads get closed.
6. Some mods (not all) are biased, and some REALLY abuse their powers and think they can get away with it.

And where's vb4? Weren't we promised an upgrade this month? It's nearly June.

Stayed the same. Still a bunch of perching queens.
