Nah. There is no inactive & non-dead. AF is still active more than smallest anime community. This AF is first begun in 2000 years. It's been anniversary 17th! I love this. I was born in 2000 lol.

BTW: We need AJAX Shoutbox/Chats available on this forum "forum_list"


BTW2: Please don't fight AF again. AF will be respected & AF for a lifetime + a long time!

As I said, I have invited many people here (this year even). Most people look at the site and are either disinterested or laugh. Nobody wants to come here when better options exist and more experienced anime fans are there to talk with.


This site has no redeeming qualities that other places don't do better. Its just a waste of time to them. Can you blame them?

I re-joined just a few days ago, and I looked around first, and it didn't seem THIS dead, but, either I didn't look close enough or I 're-joined' on a good day where people posted.

Call me an old fart, but I personally don't like social media for talking about things. I use tumblr mildly, and both of the current shows I'm watching (Were new when I started them but I got behind) I got spoiled. That's why I like message boards. You can look and say "Oh, My Hero Academia thread? Better not go in there!"

Also it feels so impersonal. Someone posts something, you can reply to it, but it will probably go ignored. If you want to have a conversation about it, no such luck.

It's the same thing with other things too. My favorite singer used to have a message board and it was great to talk to other fans, and occasionally, he would stop by himself. But now, all that is gone because of twitter and things like that. And I will admit... I did join twitter a few years ago just to send one tweet, to him, to play a song when I saw him that he hadn't been playing, and he did.... o.o

But even so, even if that wouldn't have happened, I prefer message boards. To me it's just easier, and more orginized.

The advent of Facebook and other related social media spelled the beginning of the end for forums such as these. With so much instant gratification, people lost interest in "invested discussion" such as that which you find on forums, and with less incentive to do so, they gradually stopped posting to them.

The internet is becoming Ourobouros, man. It's eating itself.

AF isn't quite dead.

The site is in a persistent vegetative state.

I show up to the hospice care maybe once a year, sit down and say hello, talk about what's been going on, make some bad/dad jokes, get no response whatsoever to the backdrop of a steadily beeping electrocardiogram and oxygen saturation monitor, leave the flowers, and just go back to my life again until eventually I feel guilty about not visiting for a while.

Logi
11-01-2018, 01:41 AM
Not sure I'd call it vegetative.. at least things in veg states are relatively together, if non-responsive. This forum has lost an eye-ball and a good portion of it's rotting flesh has fallen off, producing the unmistakable odor of something that should be dead but hasn't realized it yet for some reason. This place is a zombie. I stop by here once in a while only out of sheer morbid curiosity to see if/when it will finally stop so much as twitching.

But then with each occasional post I become a part of the problem.

Not the most active forum I have ever seen, but that might be a good thing. I have noticed that slower forums like this tend to be MUCH more friendly, while the one's that are relatively busy are full of trolls. Even then, it is the threads that are the most contentious that get the most replies.

It eventually feels like those forums bring out the worst in people. A slow low key forum, on the other hand, everyone is polite and treat people like human beings. Plus, I like having a place to talk about song translations :D

The internet is becoming Ourobouros, man. It's eating itself.


Actually, an Ouroboros is not necessarily a bad thing. When it eats itself it doesn't mean that it's zoning itself out into nonexistence; instead it is immortalizing itself.

https://i.imgur.com/T6bOELj.jpg

You see the infinity symbol above The Magician's head? That stands for forever. However, what most people don't understand that just because something is "eternal" doesn't necessarily mean it's in an upward flux constantly. There are down points and there are up points. Much like when waves come to the beach and then leave; when we breath in and out; when the market goes up and then goes down. Life is about ups and downs and periods of work and rest. Daily life, for example, is that we're up during the day and we sleep at night(or whenever our work/school schedule allows). Going to sleep is our down time. Being active is our up time. Evil gains power, Good becomes weaker; Evil becomes weaker, Good becomes stronger. It's even evident in our yearly cycles. Depending on what hemisphere we're in(and I'll be using an example of the Northern said), we have winter and we have summer. Sure, there's a transition between them but they're when the sun is strongest and when it is weakest. The sun gathers strength up until Litha(Summer Solstice) and then wanes through the rest of the year until it's at its lowest point at Yule(Winter Solstice). We have all of these examples of Eternal Life in our mundane surroundings that we forget their wisdom.

Just because there isn't a big influx of writers on the forum right now doesn't mean we won't peak later on. There will be periods when activity is low. It's not dead until the Admins say so.

I didn't read the rules so if I'm doing something wrong in reviving this thread then please tell me or warn me, whatever.

I personally love forums like this. I used to visit forums like this all the time. I don't mind that it's a little quiet around here - I find that a lot of social media these days make one feel they need to be connected 24/7 or else they'll miss something. Forums like this allow members to view and post at their leisure. The posts can and are typically longer than something you'd see on most social media save for copypastas and have a lot more depth.

Anyway, I don't think this forum is dead and I'm happy to keep contributing even if it's reviving old posts or making topics that have already been talked about. Until I get warnings I can't stop won't stop.

I know hundreds log on here every day, but no one wants to post? If your writing skills are not that good, who cares? You are not graded here.

So why won't people contribute to a thread?

I wouldn't say it's dead. It's more suffering heart palpitations. I've been on here since 2004 (heavy from then till 2012) but as I got older I just didn't have the time. I come back from time to time on the chat drunk yelling for TEEEEEEEEEEED and to read old messages from memories past. There is a lot of nostalgia here but nothing really to attract or propel new users.

Your attitude is pervading through this forum. GTHO.


I give you credit. You're dedicated. Probably slightly delusional, but dedicated. Look. What are you fighting for? This website has been abandoned by like 99% of its userbase and probably has been abandoned by most of its staff as well. AF has done very little to address the issues that existed 6-7 years ago. However, I dont really blame the admins. I just don't think people care anymore. We are all getting older and have ventured out to different places. Life has gotten busy for some. Others moved to different platforms. I loved AF. I really did. I once fought for it too, but its 2020 now. I respect your dedication, but the userbase that used to post here have aged. I'm nearing 30. Some of the staff are probably nearing 35-40.


I remember waking up at 15 years old and coming onto here with a smile. I was a kid. AF isnt just a forum, but a collection of memories for some people. You're a good guy, but I don't understand what you're fighting for as I said. Do you love AF? Do you want AF to regain its activity? It. Won't. Ever. Regain. It. The people who call AF a ghost town aren't wrong. With that said. If you want change, its going to need to start at top. Inviting people will not work. Yelling at people who say this forum is dying and telling them to leave/contribute is just driving them away/addiny pressure to them. Making 20 threads that get 3-4 replies will not work. AF will need to evolve and change its entire foundation. That is simply the only avenue left. However, I wouldn't blame anybody if they didn't feel like doing that. As I said, its 2020 and a lot of us are getting older and have issues in our lives, are busy or some other third thing.


I own a discord server with 5000+ members. Maybe id be willing to host an event there that would take place as a thread on this forum. That might cause a temporary boost. I'll think about it.

I go down with ship, not talk sh*t about said ship. I'm slightly delusional? I have a vision for AF. Long. Term. Bye.

Grow up.

Rich coming from you.


Your attitude has been absolutely atrocious for years now. What's even more rich is the fact that you seem to be under the delusion that you're some forum leader on AF. Forum leaders don't go around the forum telling everybody who has even a slightly negative opinion to "get out. grow up" or "you are on an anime forum but dont post in the anime section?". The latter which you apologized for so you yourself even realized your behavior was out of line. All you do is go around saying things like this anytime somebody is just being honest about the situation. Kaitou has offered a lot to this forum and his opinion is very valid. Also, like or hate me I have still posted 9000+ posts and have been here long enough to know that infact, the glory days are most likely infact done. I say most likely because there's a slim chance if MANY things go right. Stop telling people to grow up. Stop tellng members to leave if their opinion isn't to your liking because that is counter productive and that is something a leader does NOT do. Leaders work with members. Leaders listen to complaints. Leaders guide. You have done NONE of this. If you want me to buy what you're selling, you are the one who needs to grow up and become a leader. Kaitou has led many wolf games. Kaitou has been a moderator here for years. I can respect him as a leader. Like or hate me, I still built a huge and active discord server and was able to build a culture people bought into. What have you done here?


Prove to us your someone at least semi credible. If you can't at least do that then everything you have said in the last 3-5 years here is nothing but bull. What's your longterm plan? What's your plan to get AF back into the apex? You say new and old generation will be posting? Well, thanks for speaking for the old generation. However, with all due respect. I ain't buying your bull unless you can actually tell me what your plan actually is. You must have one. So, what is it?

Now children, let's play nice. We are all here to have fun. As long as no one attacks any other person, group, or whatever, let them post what they like. I've been on and left other forums which degraded for allowing personal attacks.

And I will bust the head of anyone who says different. :angry1:

Hey, just kidding! About the busting heads part, not the :chill: part.

Rich coming from you.


Your attitude has been absolutely atrocious for years now. What's even more rich is the fact that you seem to be under the delusion that you're some forum leader on AF. Forum leaders don't go around the forum telling everybody who has even a slightly negative opinion to "get out. grow up" or "you are on an anime forum but dont post in the anime section?". The latter which you apologized for so you yourself even realized your behavior was out of line. All you do is go around saying things like this anytime somebody is just being honest about the situation. Kaitou has offered a lot to this forum and his opinion is very valid.

Hypocrisy. I can't even tell if you're joking and/or making a fool of yourself. You do nothing but bully users whose opinions are not parallel to yours. Yes. I am a leader. That is why users like you dislike the opposition I show you. This is a forum. Different points-of-views are welcome. You label me as a "fanboy," a pathetic attempt to bruise my reputation here! And you know what? Maybe AF won't bounce back, but do look in the mirror. You're made up of the same bull you say I put out. "Anime Forum," what do you contribute here? All I see in you is a selfish predator and a walking contradiction. You say I'm delusional and am not even semi-credible. I smell something. It's YOUR bulls***.

Kaitou (who goes by a new username; thought you meant Kaitou_Ace) is a bully too. You're avoided when you log in to this forum. I'm not. It's like you return to cause misery with your speeches about this "dead" forum. Why do you come back? I'm sure it's for a good reason. My take? You have an account here, so you can be a hypocrite to other users who scroll down past your posts. I may not be a mod, but you should've been banned EONS ago. And by the way? I respect people's opinions. But you? Stir the pot of a hot mess that, since you're coming for me and my reputation, you can WALLOW in. Bye.

Kaitou is a higher-up, which explains why you give him props. He's awesome. Users of your make-up? Aren't. You're avoided when you log in to this forum. I'm not. It's like you return to cause misery with your speeches about this "dead" forum. Why do you come back? I'm sure it's for a good reason. My take? You have an account here, so you can be a hypocrite to other users who scroll down past your posts. I may not be a mod, but you should've been banned EONS ago. And by the way? I respect people's opinions. But you? Stir the pot of a hot mess that, since you're coming for me and my reputation, you can WALLOW in. Bye.

Before I digest this logic, let me first point out that the guy you just called "awesome" in that post is also the same guy you told to "grow up" a few posts above. That one line alone discredits already a decent portion of your post. Also, banning me would have absolutely zero impact on my life so saying that doesn't really mean much to me. I do admit I've made a few a-hole posts from 2015-2017. Ban worthy? I don't think so. Questionable? Sure.


Look. I have looked in the mirror. I don't think I've ever bullied anybody here. As I stated, I've made some rude posts but I don't think I've bullied anybody here. If anyone has eve felt bullied, I apologize. With all this said, your entire post isn't coherent enough for me to take
seriously. My tone is very in your face admittedly, but in the last two years you've insulted more people here than I have. If you're a leader,you shouldn't tell people to leave the forum who bring valid complaints. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people mentioning and saying it. Instead of telling people to leave the forum/grow up, work with them you know? If you have a plan to bring AF back into the "apex", that's great. Since you didn't say the plan I need to assume you don't have one. Again, your dedication is noteworthy. However, your behavior is not. Maybe some people read past my posts (is this supposed to get a rise out of me?), but that's honestly okay with me. My reputation here means nothing to me anymore. Its 2020. I am willing to apologize for some of my posts, but I won't apologize for what I'm saying right now. I think you're a good guy. I just think if you want to be a leader, you need to behave like one more.

I agree with you. You've stuck by AF and I think that's a good thing. As I said before in a different post, AF is a collection of memories. Its good that its still going.

Just wanted to say, this will very likely be my last post on AF.

I've only come on roughly 4 times since late 2017 anyway.Good luck Digimon_Sommelier admittedly you probably care more about this forum compared to me now. You're a good guy. I have zero intention of trying to damage your reputation. Maybe we just don't see eye to eye and that's fine too. I made my account 12+ years ago. This website has a lot of good memories. Even the fights in my later years here are memories.


Bye my guy

Look, all you have to do is post. Go in, read what's there, and POST SOMETHING in all the threads on the first page at least. If your name isn't the last one listed as having posted, fix that.

Also try and make it more than a text-like single sentence.

We are going through a dry period. It seems that whenever we get a new member, they either don't post or they post for about a month and then leave.

I remember when I first joined, this was called the tuxedomask.com forums lol. But with other more accessible platforms such as social media which are more universal beyond a niche interest, MANY forums aren't what they used to be.
