new threads every day? No
New post everyday? Maybe
Dead? I visit it every day at least 2-3 times.

It is slow, really slow but I wouldn't say dead.

The general game discussion forum is kinda slow too, maybe merging the 2 would be a good idea. I personally like the fact we can talk anime here without getting the thread derailed the way it would be in the OOT.

All forums are dead. They just don't know it yet.

I just read the OOT post.
Re-merging would work. I don't talk Anime, so I don't care where that ends up, or what happens to their post.

As for the General Game forum, as the poster above said. I wouldn't merge it with Movie/tv/anime into the OOT.

If you merge this with anything, make it the game discussion rather than the OOT. At least that keeps them all relevant in the fact that they're all media related.

If you do merge it, I suggest you add music to the mix as well, just for the small boost to forum activity (which boosts the frequency of all other topics and comments as well).

Merging this with OOT is a bad idea. There is nothing in common between these two. Merging with other media forums might be an idea, if it comes to that,

Meh. The only thing I don't like about having the media forums split from the OOT/Asylum, is that there's a much smaller pool of posters here.
Not as many responses, not too many new things bouncing around.

As one of the people who original pushed for an anime forum, I'm not certain what affect a emrger would have. There has been a huge increase in posts here than the old scifi-fantasy forum, but has it had an equally negative affect on OOT? I don't know.

I wouldn't call this forum dead by any means. Sure, it's not quite the liveliest of forums, but it does keep up enough activity to justify its existence, IMO.


Also, why on earth would you believe Galkaman? You should know by now that he's pure evil. Smiley: nod

I think the bigger problem is people posting on these subjects in the OOT/Asylum. Point in case, there's a thread on Glee in the Asylum, and now that Gamer thread started by Galka in the OOT. I jump between all of these (and Games and WoW forums) every day, personally. But it's not uncommon to see a single post appear every 2-3 hours here.

I think even more than that is the lack of overall posting everywhere. It seems like all the forums around here are kinda slow lately. WoW General, for instance, hasn't had nearly the number of threads posted that I was used to. Stuff on the OOT isn't moving at its old breakneck pace. The Asylum is...actually doing alright. Sometimes slow, sometimes not, like I've always seen it.

I definitely agree with this. I don't know if people switched to jobs where they couldn't browse while at work, but all the forums have slowed. A few years ago, the whole WoW General page could be new topics in a day. Now, it is about 3 days to cycle a page.

It's been slower the past few days, but hardly dead. And, like Allegory, I was one of the ones pushing for this forum to be merged with anime (and other media I suppose), and I think it has worked well so far.

Thing is; the people who would post a serious reply to an anime thread in the OOT are reading this forum. The rest will just derailed the thread with your mom and your face with some lolcats in between. Long time lurker like me would not bother posting there. The asylum is different but then you need to deal with Varrus blaming Obama for the Naruto filler.

I get where you're coming from. Just saying it'd be cool to have a conversation with other posters within minutes, not hours.
Derailment is something to get used to, but it's not all that bad. Keeps things interesting, I'd say.

And in case you missed it, my journal used to be the anime forum. I promise, this forum works much better.

I did miss it; I moved into the OOT around the same time I saw polls, asking if people wanted an Anime forum.
I bet it would work if the admins changed the link from =5 to my journal.

I'm not actually serious about it, incase you missed that.

It's not a dead forum, just a bit on the slow side. Although it's not as slow as it used to be before the anime was added to it.
