• Broadening the board

    heyas, folks!

    We discussed things and felt that the Comedy push wasn't going anywhere and hadn't captured the imagination of people in the right way, so we've been through another little shuffle about.

    The main focus now is on manga and anime in general, broken down into genres/demographics as follows:

    Anime & Manga
    So... same as before, but a little different.

    Post anything so new its only just been thought of in Upcoming Releases, post new stuff and ongoingness in Current Series (for any series that debuted this year) and all else can fit into Older Series. Subcategories in here include, but may not be limited to, Shonen/Seinen series, Shoujo/Josei series and Slice of Life series. If a show or book doesn't easily fit into these, please post in Series Categorization and we'll discuss it or even put it to a vote

    Prefixes should still be in place, so the order of the day is the same as before: a thread per series, if you please, and break it down into manga discussion, anime discussion, and image and poll threads. If we need more prefixes to cover other eventualities, let us know.

    Another major change is the 'archival' of Brigades. Love Hina and Negima Brigades aren't getting the support they once were, so getting rid might be a good bet but we'd like to leave them somewhere unobtrusive and out of the way so that while we're making a break for something new, we don't dispose of our history. Brigades have served us well over the years. Help us come up with a new hook Don't forget about the Groups section at the top of every page...

    Other Brigades may go in the archive soon, but we're still discussing this.

    Good luck and happy exploring.

      Too diverse, and there are literally hundreds of boards doing the same thing you'll need to compete with.

      Really don't see this going anywhere, hina :/

      I'm pretty sure no one remembers Selo saying anything > >

      While I agree there are many boards doing the same thing, being specialized in one thing too quickly without drawing in other members isn't something we need to do right now. The new fix is nothing more then a small base for all of us to work off of for now.

      as I've said in other threads, we were already here, more or less. We've just put a frame around what was here already. I have no qualms about changing again once we've got a clearer goal, more people behind any change and started promoting the board better.
