So the section isn't too active.
Seeing that each day has one new episode, and each day there will be 1 new translated chapter. I really doubt that it wasn't active.
I mean the section as a whole, so that includes the general discussion topics. They're all dying and getting left behind.
Not really. Now combined it has over 6000 topics and over 120.000 posts. If we're really talking about "activity" then logically the ones that should be "merged" would be: Dreams, Sports and VN discussion sections.
I don't remember the exact number, but that makes 2000 topics and 40.000 posts in each section of the anime and manga before it was merged. That's even more than the serious discussion or the hentai discussion
This isn't really about the section being active or not.
My main point is that I think a lot of the anime general discussion threads are just going to disappear deep into the pages until someone checks to see if a thread already exists either to post in it or if they want to make a topic themselves. The discussion threads aren't as accessible any more without their own little section meaning less discussion and therefore less activity in the section. Yes, the specific anime and manga threads still have hope.
I'm not sure whether or not a lot of people will go into that new section and go through the threads to find something that might interest them because of having to visually filter through the specific anime and specific manga threads. It's painful and boring. It was a lot more enjoyable looking at all the different titles in the 'Anime General' section than what we have to do now. So I do think it is about the section being active.
I'm probably wrong because people will just get used to it overtime and it won't be a problem for any newcomers, I'm just stating my opinion. Although I don't agree with this update I still hold as much respect for Jacob and his decisions as I always have, he's shaping the site into how he wants it and that's awesome. I'm also jumping to conclusions, he might even have other stuff planned. I was just trying to make a point.
