I think it would serve the site if a lot of people took a step back and realized this is a fan community run by nerds AND THATS OK. Its not dreadfully serious.
The administration seems to be pretty bloated and overworked right now and there is a very simple solution to fix that:
The way a-m-v.org is run is very "proper". There is quite a large bureaucracy, no single person is in charge, and whenever people have problems, they are thrown down into the gelatinous gut of our diffused shadow administration. /dramatic
I think the admins should start acting like they RUN the fucking place. Stop being so damn concerned about being fair and just, and start getting things done. Ban idiots from the forums, don't waste time and energy modding posts, just BAN people. Furthermore, the "mission statement" of this site has been COMPLETELY irrelevant for years now.
IT IS LUDICROUS TO TRY TO CATALOG EVERY ANIME MUSIC VIDEO EVER MADE.

IT IS LUDICROUS TO TRY TO CATALOG EVERY ANIME MUSIC VIDEO EVER MADE.
This was a valid effort to be a home base to lovely fan movement, but there are GAZILLIONS of amvs out there now, and there will only be more and more and more as time and technology move forward. The old mission of the org has been replaced by yew toob.
Why don't we just throw out all the glut of this website (that was nobly built with the intention of servicing hundreds of thousands of people), and just start actively serving the COMMUNITY that still hangs around? How many active AMVers are there? 300? 500?
Let the community decide what it needs. Theres really about 20 people who set the trends for everyones editing. What do THEY want to do with the sight? If any of this sounds elitist, or exclusive, it is, and it has gotten to that point. The forums suck because they are riddled with idiots who use our site as a fucking tech support dump.
FUCK
THAT
The internet is no place for a bloated democracy. A lean, mean, oligarchy is the best bet for this sight. If this post sounds dramatic, it isn't, just read it in a falsetto voice.
