I think going 'make funny' is kind of dumb. Like, yeah, that was SA's mission statement at the start, but the forum has evolved. If the only job was to be funny, then there'd only be one giant forum where we all talked about robes looking like dishrags. Obviously, if forums for specific topics exist, then discussion about those topics is expected. You can make sincere points, or you can make jokes. I think both are valid, and can coexist hand-in-hand - maybe if people empty quoted effort posts with 'lol gay,' this weird argument about them not fitting together would make sense, but I've never seen that happen. I've seen people disagree with effort posts, but that's called discussion, not trolling.

Posters don't goldmine threads, mods/admins do, and the same guy has been handling most of the goldmine selections for the last 5 years--Garbage Day. If you mean voting, I guarantee you, we don't check a thread's rating before we decide if it's actually good.

I've never been entirely clear on the relationship between thread ratings and goldmining, but then again, I'm not entirely clear on whether you're actually contradicting me here or not either.

My only point is that to me there seems to be a pervasive impression that proper punctuation and grammar are directly linked with quality posting, when I think they're not actually related in any way, positively or negatively.

Whoever the new mod is can make up their own mind on this subject, I'm not laying down a mandate that this will be the New ADTRW, I'm just offering my opinions in this discussion.

Or Amigurumi Darling Twee Ribbon Wishes. That sounds sufficiently pedophillac for a now crochet, formerly anime forum, catering to both ikemen and moe tastes.

I don't think it really matters how you post. You can be black, white, purple, or colorless. You can post smart, you can post dumb, you can avoid posting entirely! What matters, my friends, is how you feel about anime in your heart.

For what it's worth, there's still tons of discussion of the titty ninja games in the PS Vita thread. Just no sexy official art

Can't we split the forum into the normally moderated one and the FYAD-like one like other dedicated discussion forums have? Only the FYAD-like should be the main one, and the normal one should be the subforum with all it's three threads that deserve serious discussion.
