Is the org going down or up? We're all older, and I don't care nearly as much as previous years, but there seems to be kind of a "wasteland" feel to the forums in the recent months.

Maybe it should go down, then be reborn as a private site only for us donators.

Every year gets worse. I remember 2004 being good, but not much from 2005, and about nothing of 2006. The forum is even worse. The only interesting threads are the beaten-horse threads and they're locked as soon as they pop up, or spammed and then locked. The only trolls now are in the contest section and the journals, and they're just sad immitations of the really annoying guys we used to have.

Donators aren't much better, though. We've had an OT forum for days now and the most interesting threads are about games and Oto's camera. Someone should donate for Lyrs and Fyrt and try to lure them over here. We need more original (and OT) threads in this section. This thread could have fit into Gen Amv - it would have been locked after a few pages, but it's not really OT-worthy.

I think he means more in general, not just OT.

Nah. That's every year that'll seem like it, but I think one obvious reason is that the forum lost some of its 'steam' and regular attendance as a result of lacking OT.

As for this one - these things tend to be self-maintaining. No, right now there's not that much variety, but stuff will pop up. People haven't fully started taking advantage of it, and not everyone who ought to have migrated has migrated at this point.

Fyrt's a lost cause due to enslavement to World of Warcraft, but I could probably get kamoc in. And I might donate for them.

Just wondering - would people be annoyed if I started posting the threads that go like...

I think it's going down slowly. I've only been here for nearly a year, but I can already tell the post amounts are slowly declining.

If I wanted that, I'd go to the Hypeo forum

I'd donate for any of the old OT-Junkies interested in popping up around here. Maybe get some of that good ole days feeling back.

I know there weren't really any good ole days, but memory is funny like that.

Don't say that!

i was expecting more of the irc clique to post here. but they may be out on vacation or haven't donated.

as for general forum topics- it was getting dry since most AMV-related topics have been discussed repeatedly, which is why we have 300 sticky threads. and it was obvious forum regulars wanted somewhere where they dont have to talk about AMVs - as indicated by the 26 pages of batman posts each time an OT thread didn't get locked within 8 hours :roll:

i was sad to see the old OT forums go, but not so sad about losing many of the old OT forum junkies.

Not possible, even if you did donate for him . . .

So make some!

There's also the possibility that people are simply gone for the holidays and such.

I personally wouldn't mind.

Oh, right, I forgot he's still banned. LAME.

Branching a little further, not only does it seem like the forums are in a downward spiral, but the org as a whole. I can't really properly vocalize how it feels to me, but a wasteland, as beo mentioned, is pretty accurate. It seems like there are dozens upon dozens of videos, threads, etc. that are just pure junk, and very rarely is there something nice to show up within those. I don't know if this is just a local issue either, because as another example, I've been always anticipating the Akross entries and winners because it's usually really solid stuff, but from this year... I dunno, just a handful really.

I don't like to see it, but I think it's an inevitable depression.
