has the org become female?

This forum is for members to discuss topics that do not relate to anime music videos.

I lol'd at this:

-the banners are girly


Simply because a huge chunk of the winning banners (and the new logo) are made by a very small handful of (female) people.

im 25, i find that there is a varying range of ages on the org forums, but i think thats cause i know the round about ages of most of the active people (ish-not really)

actually, as for the topic at hand, the same girls who are making all those meps, are the same ones who submit all the banners and post in their journals... >.>

Ah, you guys can't take credit for everything. Hinatasan hasn't edited in a while, no really recent MEPs, rare journal posts, but she's still rules the banners. The top girl op giver (Alternababe) was in the JJMEP, but she hasn't posted or edited in a while, either. And I didn't really count 'active journal posting' - you're the active girl forum poster, but Ayanefan has you beat as far as the daily journals go. All the active girls know each other, but they're not all the same people. :P

okay so maybe that was overgenerialization...

you got kiki, camilla and yeiweh... all three make banners, all three are some of the top contenders in the mep section, and all three "journal chatting" was the "reason" some people got all angsty about journal wank

ayanefan - its not like im in competition with him for journal posting anyways lolz

I can't remember any MEPs from two years ago that were predominantly female, let alone run by a female coordinator. Most of the MEPs that came out in the last 1.5 years were run and filled by females (fact).

"Hey, you wanna come back to my place, and... make an AMV?"

'How about, you bring your friends along, and we make a MEP?"

I don't see what all the hub-bub is about. Anything involving the internet, digital media, or anything otherwise computer related has an inherent androgynous anonymity to it. Any of the guys that are "guys" could be girls, and any of the girls that are "girls" could be guys.

I've talked to enough younger and older persons than myself on the .org to know that it doesn't matter how old you are or what gender you are-- anyone CAN do or make anything here.

Statistics only mean what you want them to mean anyway. Coincidences only exist because you look for them.

Yeiweh doesn't make banners. O.o (I think she made a couple once last year, but then stopped soon after.) But I do see where you're coming from. :P And I think I got bored once and did stats on the top 25 banner creators list vs all worthy banners, and, I think the top 25 had about 1/2 of the site's worthy banners. (That count might have just been within this past logo. I forget.) And a lot of the top 25 is made up of girls. And I think a lot of the banner voters are female if this banner of mine got worthy. :P

But I do agree, I think a lot of the outward female activity is done by a small handful.

I'm surprised that even got approved, considering that the site URL is well nigh illegible.

I know. It's the same thing Godix said earlier. Four guys do all the flaming on the site so we say "it's the guys who do all the flaming." It doesn't matter if it's the same four guys doing it. The fact is, the ones doing it are guys. Even if there were only one girl doing everything I've mentioned, I'd still say there was more "female action" at work than male. If you want to say all the active girls are journal junkies and so they should all be counted as one person (or one mini organization), okay. That doesn't change the fact that they're girls, they're doing everything, and compared to the guys, that group of girls is contributing a lot more.

I wasn't trying to take credit away from that group, but there are some very active females outside it. It's easier to include all the active females on the org if I make sweeping statements about females here in general. That group has guys who contribute as much as the girls, anyway, so if I made a rant just about them it wouldn't fit the whole "female takeover" theme.

And myeck, sorry for the gender confusion. But it's okay! Cause I never considered journals to begin with. And having a guy be the most active journal poster just nixed what you said about the JJ girls ruling that part of the forum. I think DJ's been posting more often than most of the female JJs recently, anway. ;p

I think a lot of the outward male activity is done by a small handful, too.

why don't you guys make a poll on this;

male and female on the org


and if who will wins on the both sides; runs the forums or they can make a some rules to the looser :? I guess that would be settled for generalization.

No, no. I started this because I was bored and skimming through too many MEPs in one sitting. It's just a random discussion that will have no effect on the org as a whole once it's died or been locked. A poll would be interesting, but you know people will lie just to mess it up (because people are rude like that [generalization]).

We can't make polls here, anyway. The last time I saw a poll here it was in the admin section and most people voted "pie". >.>
