However, instead of that utopia, what we'll get is both low-effort unfunny posts and high-effort unfunny Caring About Anime posts.

If it's a choice between that, and just sometimes-funny mediocre-effort Mildly Caring About Anime posts, I'd choose the mediocre world any day.

Okay, okay, it's a leeeeeeeetle bit milquetoast of me, I admit, but I registered on SA during the time when moderation was a bit stricter than it is now, when GBS was still mostly-serious discussion about weird news and strange hobbies, and photo editing threads, and that's just the standard I've become used to. Call me a :ohdear: pansy, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable if ADTRW were led by someone who leans strongly FYAD-lite.

You know we should have elections. It'd be fun! :haw:
The glory years, yes, before the dark days of New GBS that gave free license to FYAD to steamroll any discussion. I tend to prefer stricter moderation and a higher minimum level of posting. GBS is a complete wasteland of unfunny ironic racism.

I agree we should have a happy medium of low-effort/high-effort, but I feel like the current balance very heavily leans towards towards the low-effort side of the scale.

EDIT: I appreciate your posts in BSS, trying to suggest books and provoke actual posting. You're alright.

None of your opinions about Megaten are bad, because everyone in that thread's opinions about Megaten are worse.

alright let's get out of this bad posting spiral my adtrw friends, in memory of our late great leader who was right in saying that posting about posting sucks. instead, let us put our thinking caps on and ask what we can do for our forum.

i have posted threads before for shows, and also for other things: mahjong and voice actors. i know a lot about those two things and i thought adtrw might like a thread about them. some people did! i'm sure you also have anime things you know a lot about that other people don't. we should all make threads about these things and share our love of anime with each other :japan:

i literally had to add a disclaimer to the railgun s thread warning people about middle school fanservice and that thread turned out alright, so share your love, friends

I hardly think that complaining about shitposting in a non-shitposting forum is "lording over people". :colbert:

It's ineffectual whining! :suicide:

Anyways, I can only really claim the following:

- The Surreal Daily Life Manga thread
- Battle Angel Alita thread

(And I suppose Yankee Kun & Megane Chan, but it's wayyyy archived now)

... Come to think of it, those were just manga megathreads, huh? Well, not being someone who watches all that many anime shows, I can't really claim to be able to contribute much on that front. But I'm handy with a pen and paper, so maybe I can chip in some kind of art-related thread? A manga art appreciation thread? I'll try to think of something!

It's definitely got an audience, but unfortunately that audience isn't me. I find it a weird miasma of toxic misanthropy where sincerity is the only shibboleth. The horrifying thing is, SA still has one of the highest standards of posting I've found on the net. I wish it was more to my liking, but even now it's still infinitely better than reddit, any chan, PA, etc.

I don't mean to compare apples to oranges, since I know ADTRW is different than GBS, in direction and size, but to compare apples to apples on quality terms, 2012 GBS goldmined about 30 threads and 2013 GBS goldmined about 30. 2014 GBS goldmined 150. People describing the lack of capitalization as the death of effort and quality seems really strange to me.
