New Ideas for the Western/Non-Jap Animation section.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Basically the idea is to have prefixes to some of the threads to organize them a bit more/better. If you'd like an example the Video Game section is already doing it by console ([Multi], [Wii], [PS3], [Xbox], and so on). http://www.animeforum.com/forumdispl...69-Video-Games

I'm thinking along the lines of [Movie], [Disney/Pixar], [80's], [90's CN], [90's Nick], and so on, even by show should there be a bunch of threads for one show/character of a show.

Have any input, questions, or ideas for other prefixes? Please let us know.

i think that a good ideal

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I like this and all but unlike Video Games, things like Cartoons branches out too much. First thing, it really shouldn't be divided by decade, I just think it might make things more complicated that it should be. Just keep it simple such as "[Nick]", [CN]" and for Disney cartoons such as Recess or Phineas and Ferb(?) could fall under "[Disney/Pixar]" I guess.

There's so many genres that you can't divide it into so and a lot of cartoons have broadcasted in many channels that it's indefinite on what prefix is will fall under.

I guess you can put the main current big channels and prefxes and every else will fall as "[Other]".

[DeathBlade/13.666]

True, we could just break it down by channel. [CN], [Nick], [KidsWB], [Foxkids], [UPN], [MTV], [Disney/Pixar], and [Other]. Though we could just let other be un-prefixed.

The [Movies], [Cartoons], [Comics], and [CGI] runs into the problem of shows and they're respected movies, like Jimmy Neutron and Ben 10. Also, Spider-man has movies, cartoons, comics, and a show made with CGI.

I see the point about the decades organizing, but with some of the 80's cartoons does anyone remember what channels they were on?

Also what about stuff on Adult Swim? Should we make it [AS], or just use [CN]? And what about Dreamworks movies? Should that be [Dreamworks]?

And @MaruDashi , This is just for prefixing, there's not really enough activity and threads/posts to start doing subforums and such.

Movies
Cartoons
Comics

I think keeping the subforums very general like this should work enough =3

Yeah, this should work plus the one I added.

CGI would be things like Jimmy Neutron.

It could also be for CGI movies, where they could be discussions on how many explosions Michael Bay feels he needs in all his movies [lol]

This is for prefixes though and not subforums. xD But that's so true.

I dunno if Transformers can count as CGI though...I mean, if they do then a crapload of movies would fall under it.

Nah, I would think movies done completely in CG, like Up and Tangled

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

[CN/AS] should do.

And KidsWB and FoxKids are both defunct channels. And CWKids shows anime so pretty much it would be out of place.

I guess I will help you out with detail later. Gotta take care of some stuff first.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Yeah, [Dreamworks] could work separately although Kung-Fu Panda's CGI is on Nick.

I dunno man, I would help you out but I don't wanna sound like I'm taking over or something since this is your section and don't want to make the decisions for you. You feel me?

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Fair enough, I'm just trying to get a good idea what folks would like and see where we can take this. If someone wants to do something else, or has another idea, I'm all ears.

No defunct tag though, just the main channels, [Classic] and [Other].

[DeathBlade/13.666]

'K. Seems easy enough. Anyone else want to chime in?

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

'K. Seems easy enough. Anyone else want to chime in?

So the idea is only prefixes?

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Eh.I think is better to put it under its current main channel, that being Adult Swim(?).

It only makes sense to do the current one.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

',:l Current viewing channel or original showing channel.... Tough call, Anyone want to chime in? @MaruDashi , @Yuki haruka ?

You're making this a lot more complicated that it should be. The current channel is what makes sense the most.

That's like listing DBZ games or Godzilla games under Atari when they no longer hold the license to publish DBZ games or Godzilla games. And the logical thing is to list it under Namco Bandai, it's current publisher. I dunno about Godzilla, don't care much about it.

That's the first thing I thought of...I know there's similar examples there.

Gotta make it complicated to make sure it's done right, I always say. And I know what you mean, but the less kinks/issues/complaints I have to deal with, the better off I am. ^.^

Making things complicated doesn't mean it's right.

You're stressing on something very simple. I would think it's more logical if it falls under Comedy Central than Fox, since Comedy Central now OWNS (has the license to air it) it instead of Fox. Putting under Fox is fine too, it's not a big deal. Again, you're stressing on it too much. It can go in either.

I don't think no one is going to form a riot if they have to put it under Comedy Central than Fox.

[RavenQueen]

yea but most ppl who use to watch it only know the original showing channel

[RavenQueen]

still would be complicated for ppl who dont no the new channel or dont have cable no more but your the mod what ever you do it up to you what ever you do is up to you if some one dont like it o well just go with your gut lol

[RavenQueen]

it will happen i sure more ppl will talk on here if some new shows where talk about i still find it odd there not 2 mods for each forum thought

Pretty much, I volunteered for the job when no one else would, and there's not enough activity to warrant more than one. There's even some thought of stretching me out to another section so I have more to do.

There, changed the title to allow room for more ideas incase anyone has one.

Also I've been thinking about possibly starting a contest... Not sure what to contest would be off..... Trivia maybe? But googling answers would make it easy....

So yea, any ideas would be great. ^.^

[RavenQueen]

ahh okay i understand i use to be a mod in a different anime site that die out it kinda why i join this one lol
