Zen Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 The Anime Lounge has been flooded by an abbundance of threads about the following: Trigun Ruroinin Kenshin Çowboy bebop I know that you already made one about Trigun, but it had spam. Well look at the Yu Yu Hakusho one, its full of ones about Yaoi fantaies with Heie and Kurama and is basically populated with a bunch of fan girls and a few die had fans who put up with it. Anyways there have been ,what, one thousand members since you got rid of it? Why not give it another chance? The CB one i heard about. Why not? CB is also a very popular sereis and probably one of the best. Give it another try, please? RK is jsut straight up the hottest topic at the Anime Lounge. It has quite a few episodes and is a very complicated and interwined seris. I don't see why it doesn't have on. I want to know why you Mods won't give these a cahnce, and which members are with me?

Zephyr Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I was here just before the Cowboy Bebop lounge was taken down, I forget if there was a Trigun one also, but the CB forum had basically run completely dry. There were only about ten posts, on a few of which had been accessed recently, and the discussions were going downhill fast. Bringing it back would be a bad idea. As for a Rurouni Kenshin board, that I might support. There does seem to be a lot of buzz about it in the Anime Lounge. Maybe not enough to make a seperate lounge out of, but enough to show that it is a very active topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 [color=#707875]As far as I know, I've explained why various sub-forums have been taken down, ad nauseum. However, what I will say at this point is that I understand your viewpoint. It's also worth noting that everything I do now is with v7 in mind. So, I won't be making [i]any[/i] forum changes in our Otaku Anime category until v7 rolls around. The reason? v7 itself will bring in a host of major changes to that category. Also...I simply don't think that we need to create forums for every series or something. I don't know why people lack the maturity to post about a variety of series in one larger/broader forum (ie: Anime Lounge). It's true that we do have franchise-specific forums at the moment. And I'm still deciding how to approach them for v7. Forums like Yu Yu Hakusho will probably cease to exist when the next version of the boards launches (though the discussions inside that forum will not be deleted). If anything, OBv7 will favor a smaller number of broader forums. I do not plan to increase the overall number of forums on OtakuBoards.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 Well, still, how about an RK one? And i think you guys should create create a Tenchi Forum too. There are like 3 or 4 sagas and a ton of movies, so why not? I'm sure it would attract some good threads. How about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skyechild91 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Okay, I can understand taking down CB, but not RK. Maybe put a restriction, yeah, but dont take one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo no Ryu Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Rurouni Kenshin SERIOUSLY needs this. There would be like a post for each episode, not to mention the series is still going. CB really doesnt have all that much and Ive really never seen a Tenchi thread going through the back pages of the forum... Trigun is alright but, well I dunno,.,.,.,.,. I do know that Yu Yu Hakusho is horrible, YuGiOh and DBZ are alright and Digimon and .hack have quite a bit of disscusion... but what should really be worried about are Microsoft and PC, maybe they could be merged...

Sun Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 RK and FLCL!!!!!!! even though i really think an flcl one will be very non useful.....i just love the series!!!1 Tenchi i haven't really watched to. But RK should have one, Most definetly, there has been so many Rk fans nowadays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Too bad it's not y'all's decision. You see, forum additions(especially with animes and games) are made by popular demand. And frankly, this is the first real demand I've seen recently for any of those changes. However, I cannot speak for v7. Having recently left the staff, I'm no longer in a position to know these things. But James has given you all his position--having said he won't be making changes of that kind at this time. You should accept that, and wait patiently to get a chance for what you want. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 ANother Idea, Why not a Naruto lounge? THis has got to be the single anime that created a universe around itself. It expeanisive and is on the level of DBZ in the character listings. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] It doesn't seem to me that James plans to add any new forums, particularly ones that would revolve around a specific series. However, I'm not saying that the shows you mentioned aren't worthy of discussion. I doubt that the staff would even think about creating a new forum, such as Tenchi or Rurouni Kenshin, unless there was [i]considerable[/i] demand for one. For now, you could just start a Naruto thread in the Anime Lounge. If you believe that it's popular enough to deserve its own forum, I'm sure a thread about it would attract plenty of replies. To be perfectly honest, I don't think that a Rurouni Kenshin forum is a good idea. Most of the Kenshin threads I've seen consist of either borderline spam or fangirl raving. But if you want to talk Kenshin, I recently read a pretty interesting discussion of the OVAs ("Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal," and "Samurai X: Reflection"). ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 [COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1] Well, there is already an obvious 'boom' in the popularity already. And the manga almost resembles the anime exactly in every wasy, cept for a few minor details which don't contribute to the plot at all. I compared it to DBZ in the fact of the amount of characters and techniques, I never said anything about quality, as Silpheed pilot would say, "So calm down, you explosive chump!" Oh, and Dagger? I took your advice. [/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo no Ryu Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 The chances of Naruto coming to America are still 13 to 1. Its very doubtfull that it will be furomized. You and LB are the only nes who post about it THAT much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Thats because the others don't have anywere else to post about it. The exact reason why it should be a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I, Colossus Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Tenchi had a forum a while back, also taken down due to lack of activity. Heh. I personally don't want anymore forums, I want one General forum, one Anime forum, one Gaming forum, one Fan Fic/Literature/RPG/Sparring forum, and one Art/Graphics forum. It would simplfy this place a lot, and you wouldn't need nearly as many moderators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] First, I wouldn't ever even think to compare Naruto to DBZ! Omg, Naruto is a thousand times better. Secondly, I recently read a magazine stating "The Top Ten Most Popular Anime You Can't See". Naruto came in at #2, with one piece being the first. (in that article I don't unerstand at all why Sailor Moon Sailor Stars came in at #5, feh!) The only reason I bought that darn magazine ("Anime Insider") was to send it to my brother in Japan to provide him with happiness of the result of One Piece and Naruto and to also keep the little one paragraph page of Tsubasa .RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. I much rather prefer Newtype. Btw, if you wish to know the ranks of other anime, they are: 10)Hikaru No Go 9)My Gilrfriend, The Ultimate Weapon 8)Slam Dunk 7)Lengend of Galactic Heros 6) Doraemon (yay) 5) Sailor Moon Sailor Stars -_- 4) Macross Zero 3) Hunter X Hunter (yay) 2) Naruto 1) One Piece. I would really enjoy a Naruto Forum, I would be there more often than here. ^^;;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Tremaine Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 [COLOR=#503F86]I think there's a double-edged sword when it comes to new forums. On one hand, creating a forum about an anime that isn't much discussed seems a little pointless. It needs the popularity to back it up and get people to post in it. Although Naruto may be the best thing since sliced anime characters, it is obscure. I've never ever heard of it before, and it's not easily accessible to a large audience, hence the amount of people who post in the forum will be severely limited. But on the other hand having a forum devoted entirely to one series should probably give people more incentive to discuss many different aspects of the series, as with the .hack// forum. Whereas in one general anime forum you'll have perhaps one thread about each anime, all the possible topics to talk about are lumped into one thread where there could be about five threads' worth of arguements in it. It's just knowing which ones would be best to have. I don't think a Kenshin one would be such a bad idea myself, even though I probably wouldn't post in it much at all. But I don't go through the Anime Lounge much either, so I'm not the best judge of what should or shouldn't have a new forum. Anyway, my two cents.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point is a valid one, but even now the moderators don't know everything about everything. :p You don't need a vast knowledge of anime to know what is SPAM or not though. I doubt Asuka has seen half of the series posted in AL. It might call for two or three mods in every forum, but it's not a big deal. With the exception of a few inactive moderators, most of them could easily handle it. Except for I go back on one point, sparring needs it's own forum because it'd be impossible to get to an RPG with all of the sparring threads. Perhaps a sub-forum like we used to have?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
