I'm not sure if his votes count, because all the names he really wanted for Alla were taken and his actual username is something along the lines of "buttcheesemaster."

RE: The concerns about CP coming to Alla

Alla isn't 4chan. It never was and never will be. For one thing, 4chan is pretty much unmoderated. The bulletin board system they use was designed to share graphics; Alla doesn't allow anyone to post pictures without paying them money for the privledge. And frankly, the userbase here at All is a bit more mature than the average /b/tard. You haven't heard of any subsect of =10 going rogue and protesting Scientology either.

I'm an anime fan that got into MMOs through Final Fantasy games, not the other way around. A great many anime fans are actually women, in their late twenties and thirties, married with kids or on the way there, and the worst you have to deal with from us is squeals of fangirlishness. Anyone that argues that there are no girls on the internet never hung around in my roleplay IRC channel, Innocent Maidens and Turtles, where there were No Boys Allowed. Bachan, the venerable grandmother of the Inuyasha fandom, was 54 years old when she passed a few years from breast cancer. (There was a fascinating rivalry between her faction and the faction of Urd, a 44 year old mother of 3. I was in the Bachan camp, which made running panels with Urd very awkward.)

Okay, that got really rambly. My point is, if you think that the extent of anime fandom is limited to the denizens of 4chan, then you don't really know anime fandom.

People can then take those farmed posts and subsequent +1s from inevitable arguments/internal memes and apply them to other boards for credit.

I'm really against it because A) alla's general lack of authority on the topic b) posters' @#%^ing GRAND delusions of brains based on color/post count c)it's just the wrong system to try to implement it. There are better forums out there to utilize for more comprehensive information, or if you want to discuss it with other people here, use the OoT, or tripcode.


I'm indifferent to anime, and to the creation of a forum here in which to discuss anime. But I have to say, this quoted post makes absolutely no sense to me on any level.

I would never go there, but I'm not opposed to it in anyway. Then again you never know, if it's there I might check it out especially if it's new.

You just described the OOT as it exists in its whole entirety.

Edit: To wit, I sure as hell didn't get 4500 posts from =10.

Fixed that for you. Maybe you've never noticed what happened every time Totem or Gbaji posted in =4. Or maybe you've never noticed what happens when a "popular" poster posts on any forum where others are familiar with them?

Signed, even though I'll probably never utilize it. Why shouldn't people of an interest group get their own forum? Lord knows we have enough niche forums already as it is.

Voted yes.... and If I knew there was anime discussions going on I would have ventured into OOT, or anywhere else.
(would most likely have a couple thousand posts too.)

The OOT is a myth. You've seen nothing and remember nothing.

Also i would just like to say that this is the first time i have ever seen jophiel not keep fighting about being right, without him finding a more interesting arguement, or the other person gives up because he's tired of hearing what he heard 5 posts ago.

Jophiel doesn't much give a damn. There's 100-odd forums already; what's one more?
