Anime/Manga Forum Changes
0
GinIchimaru_09 Pretty much said exactly what I was thinking. I don't think it will be better, only different.

Quite surprisingly, I don’t find these changes to be as toloveru-some as I probably would have made a big deal out of it back then. I’ve always believed that I can do everything I want around that area (while being lawful) and this kind of adjustment just makes it even a lot easier—now for everyone.
Honestly, everything’s fine the way it was except for one. User-participation. You just don’t often see a handful of users partake of whatever discussion that’s been intended in a particular series’ topic. A matter which I in fact doubt will ever be resolved -- with the whole point being that the real issue of concern here is completely user-related than it ever was forum-related. And just so you know in case you haven't encountered someone who dared PM both old and new users alike just to encourage them into sharing their opinions and joining in on the talks concerning some of the series they're currently following, promoting the specific anime section altogether; you now have.
Isn’t it the nature of things that freshmen must first learn to adapt to their new surroundings? Why should the elders/oldfags be the ones to adjust? Heck, if all new users should be allowed early on to have it their way, just how can you expect them to ever know anything "your-way" later on? These changes, the way I see it, would only benefit idiots and certainly not those aforementioned sections nor fakku! as a whole.
Wait, don’t we already have Animesuki for that?
Heads-up! I for one surely wouldn’t change my posting-ways. Ban me as you see fit but you cannot expect me to post in "Xerox-topics" that I deem to be utterly unsanitary unnecessary.
PS: I can't even imagine everyone creating a single thread for each and every single episode of a series they’ve seen which may or may not even get a reply at all. Actually, I did just that as a newb thus I realized how pointless doing all that was -- unless of course the topic you make is of either a really popular or a really dumb series, or both. Because apparently, no one cares about an intellectually good/entertaining series here in fakku!

Sounds pretty good to me, Less confusion and Less "Wrong forum" posts.Who doesnt love a bit of organization.
It doesn't matter what they are named, people will still have posts in the wrong area, and the people who don't frequently put posts in wrong places aren't really confused by the current names of these forums, so I don't really see the point. I guess there will be some new users this will be easier for, and putting specific anime/manga series into a general discussion form might open up a few more topics...although I thought that's what 'general discussion' was already for. It's a good way to order things around, but this tiny cosmetic change isn't going to affect much.
Why? In the end, my opinion counts for very little, but if you want something more frank and definite, sure. This is a silly cosmetic change that won't affect anything, and Jacob should just do it instead of bothering to discuss it, this is all wasted time.

This has also been in my mind for quite some time. Kinda useless how people made a thread about a series' latest episode, a few people replied, then after a newer episode came out there's another person who made a thread about it, the old thread got neglected and buried. It's a nasty cycle and waste of space in the forums. Let's just made a single thread for every series' latest chapter/episode and make a list of them like Videogames/ VN/ other sections to make it more organized. If there's a user who has a question about a certain past episode/OVA/movie THEN they can make another thread in the specific ep discussion.

With Jacob intending to make changes to one of my favourite sections on Fakku, I can't help but show up. :D
Jokes aside, I kinda like things as they are right now. The "general discussion" section is for generic, all encompassing topics, while the "Anime Specific" and "Manga Specific" sections focus on individual titles, which I think tends to bring out more in-depth discussion among users.
In addition, I am quite sure most of you know that I am in favour of the unofficial "one topic per anime and manga title" rule. Apart from the first-come, first-serve principle which I believe in, it also serves to keep the "Anime Specific" and "Manga Specific" sections neat. If we attempt to remove this subculture which members of Fakku are already familiar with, then it might result in numerous threads of a popular title being made, with no effort to use the search function and masterlists.
I see nothing wrong with old topics being revived; although some users may complain about necro-bumping, it should be fine as long as the latest reply is relevant to the topic being discussed. The contributions of members who created and participated in old topics should not be forgotten. One may be surprised to find valuable knowledge in old topics. Using an analogy to describe my thoughts, an old book does not necessarily mean that it is no longer useful or relevant.
From what I have read, I assume Jacob's aim is to encourage user participation in the anime specific and manga specific sections. Although the anime specific section
does not produce new topics all the time, it is worthwhile to note that most of the existing topics are at least a few pages long, indicating that there is constant activity, although I admit more replies (in an appropriate and manageable level) would not hurt.
In conclusion, I would say I disagree with the upcoming changes planned for "General Discussion", "Anime Specific" and "Manga Specific" section. That being said, I hope I don't incur the wrath of my boss, Jacob, in this case. :D

Been waiting to see the opinions from the guys who goes often to this section first....
So, my opinion :Keep it as it is.
Both The "Specific anime" and "Specific Manga" section doesn't need a "change of name". Like some of the users said, changing it will make the section messy, since specific titles will be mixed up with Random general discussions and that will clutter up the section.
Suggesting to change the name of the General discussion's name into Anime and Manga General Discussion with the sub title as "Discuss topics that is related to an anime or a manga"
I see the Anime and Manga Specific sections like the game Upload sections, "One title - one thread", and the General discussions like the "VN and Eroge Discussion section" where you make topics about something related to a certain title.
Point is: Keep it as it is
The newbie confusion and mistakes will always be there even if you changed the name anyways.

After reading the responses and recollecting my previous statement, I must say I agree that the current system works bests(originally I thought change was better,but after being in the forums for a while I like the way it is now). There is no reason to change it at moment. Kaimax gives very good points on why the current system works.

Oh how about cleaning up Specific Anime Series would be nice what I'm talking about is moving the movies to their own section; like a Anime Movies Section as it is confusing at least to me.

Has anybody thought of an H-anime Forum? I mean I for one would rather talk about adult anime than regular anime although there might be a bit of a problem with that since most members of fakku (Who I've talked to) are more into H-manga than H-anime.
