Haven't really thought about it myself and didn't know some people didn't like it, but since this is different than everything else in the thread and I've used it a lot more often now, I'm just curious.

There is just no way to get to the top of the lists because there are not enough opinions given. I know that those AMVs are classicals and immortals, etcblabla., but I think newage AMVs are not appreciated enough on this site. I hope you understand me. The rating systems are not trustworthy at all. Or does anybody think that these are the best 10 AMVs of all time on org?

In a nutshell... the site is old.

You'd think so. But try doing a free op thread yourself. Most people asking for ops just want the numbers that will help their vids get onto the lists. Maybe some of them do read the actual text, but they sure don't respond to it. I speak from experience. You start a free op thread, give a 20 ops, get 2 responses, and then the pointlessness overwhelms you until you go do something more productive with your time. That's the org now.Taite wrote:If you're giving paragraphs of criticism and spending huge lengths of times putting effort into critique and never getting responses, then I agree, that would be a waste of time.

Not me. I used to. That was the whole point of doing op threads, to give detailed feedback to the creators who wanted it. To feel like I was at least trying to contribute to the org. A quick op would take me half an hour and that's not worth a few seconds to say "I'm not reading that crap" let alone "thanks for trying to care." I finally learned my lesson. If no one else is doing that now, either, then there's probably a good reason for that.
This is all just me defending my opinion that writing ops on the org is pointless if the editors won't respond to them. I think the death of ops is one of the reasons editors and viewers alike find the org of little use. The hobby might be alive and well elsewhere, but that's because the communication continues in those places. Here? Not so much. You have a better chance of getting a famous director to respond to a critique of his movies than you do of getting an org editor to post "I read this, just so you know."

As far as I know, this sites main purpose is to catalog amvs. Which it's still great at, and there's no reason it shouldn't be for years to come regardless of whether people activity give opinions or not. Youtube will never be good in this respect.Animated wrote:So, after reading all of that thread, I take it that the .org has one or a maximum of two more years left... It's a pity, really
