Here's the old saying:
"90% of anime is crap. We only get what was good in Japan and 90% of that is crap"

This is something that is mentioned every time this sort of topic comes up. It's not that everyone stopped editing. Sure, a lot of people did. But guess what? They were replaced by new editors, there is a constant stream of them! They're just not flocking here anymore. It's not AMVs that are dying, it is this specific community.
It's sad though that alot of the newer editors don't even choose to come here or upload here, while just staying on youtube. Why not have your amv there and here. There's so much more benefits here. I started amvs on youtube for half a year before joining here, and there wouldn't be a single day where I would think of choosing youtube over here if I was ever forced to only have one.

Many Japanese/Chinese people still come here and amvnews, i see amvs posted on there websites all the time...just they have no reason to catalog their own videos here.Knowname wrote:Whatever happened to our Japanese users? I remember they used to pop up around VCAs much like the Russians do now, their like taking turns. It's like the mafia rinse cycle.

In Anime Central's case, there's a not-insignificant number of people who have a peripheral interest in anime but really go to ACen because
1. their friends are going and they want to hang out
2. they have another interest like Japanese video games or the dances
(Yes, some people are interested in the dances. I've learned this by hanging out with some trickers and b-boys. They use the dances as an opportunity to have fun.)
