Forum revitalization requires effort. Keeping chatango helps us enjoy our stay at least in one aspect.

This discussion has been brought up once and again, the viability of chatango and how it affects forum traffic. After seeing the latest post regarding this matter, I hope to offer my insignificant insight into this, for the record.

Forums should attract a different group of people than chatango. You use chatango for quick messages and idle chat. People join forums for long discussions on ideas and time to compose a message with complete thoughts and planning.

In my past experiences, active forums are successful because of the type of people that participates. Desolate forums lacks a "forum going" crowd, regardless of the existence of a quick chat. Most people posted theories/experiments of existing concepts and speculated in length on what might come in the future, messages well thought out and quaint. Forumgoers create detailed casual topics for offtopics of other categories of entertainment or just have a thread to jovially dedicate to all the forum necessities such as hot girls, fast cars and good food. Meanwhile those same people sit in the chat just to say their hello, exchange light ideas and organize for group events. By nature, Forums are different from quick chats, therefore it is not mutually exclusive.

Not to mention how you can't force the current generation of chatango users to adapt to a healthy forum posting habit without helping lead the cause along with your (forum experienced) friends. Even with that, you're going to go through some real tough times trying to get that from younger audiences that anime so frequently attract. The only hope for the forums to take off is audience base and maturity level, until you find that, not much you can really do.

Lastly, A lot of other anime sites incorporates chatango in their website. You don't remove a feature of the website that holds audiences and keeps it competitive to other chat in the hopes of forcing people who might not even want to socialize via forums to join it. What's to say they'll just leave us and join someone else now with their easy way of communication gone?

In the end, all parties end, This forum, now a shadow of its former self, must have been full of life and joy, but you can't just get the past back by forcing the current backwards. I've missed some forums I've called homes, but all we can do sometimes is build new ones, it doesn't just build itself. ]]> Suggestions / Complaints ExplosiveCheeseCake http://forums.animeseed.com/threads/4963-In-regards-to-Chatango-on-Animeseed http://forums.animeseed.com/threads/4962-Most-Least-Favorite-Character-Type?goto=newpost Sat, 18 May 2013 04:04:39 GMT What is your favorite/least favorite Type of Character?

This doesn't have to be main character types or even Named types (yandere,tsundere).



My Favorite Type is the Silent types Like Yami from To Love Ru and Tsumiki from Acchi Kocchi

On chapter 25 at 23 minutes 40 seconds Kirito says some thing that the subtitles didn't pick up. The weird thing is that his voice was also removed. I believe it's the second to last thing he says until the credits roll. I'm kinda hoping this might be an easter egg of sorts.

I will happily donate- no problem. I'm curious as how much cost is involved in running a site like this. From electricity to site cost. Does the streaming also cost any addition money- stuff like that. I think that maybe if members knew how much money it required to maintain this site like this they would be more inclined to give than take. ]]> Suggestions / Complaints Guywalksintoabar http://forums.animeseed.com/threads/4956-Donations http://forums.animeseed.com/threads/4955-There-are-t*ts-everywhere?goto=newpost Thu, 09 May 2013 03:44:15 GMT Highschool DxD as some serious fan service.
