Serious post to new mod: over the last 48 hours ADTRW has been the best it's been in years. Please don't overmoderate it.

Aside from rampantly creepy threads about horrible shows / subjects, you were always able to post odd or funny threads. Zorak encouraged them in his occasional "State of the Anime Subforum" posts. People just didn't seem to have the motivation to. It's not a matter of moderation, it was a matter of a bunch of people finally finding the wherewithal in themselves to *gasp!* post a thread in the anime forum, possibly attracted by word-of-mouth or piqued by the drama of Zorak's departure.

Personally, I'd just like someone who'd be like a spiritual successor to Zorak. I liked the way ADTRW was under Zorak and would like it to continue that way, just with more activity and some nontraditional threads.

Well, there were all those shows about brother/sister incest, and a thread discussing the issues or problems surrounding fanservice. I think Zorak made a wise call on those.

But hey, whatever guys! I happen to like forums like D&D and CD and BFC, and I think that posts and topics like the ones there are interesting and fun to read. Maybe I'm too uncool to post in the new, hip, ironic ADTRW. :smith:

We had a very active Squid Girl thread when the show was running, it died down after it ended. There was one dude who would only post when new chapters were scanned/translated but he eventually stopped that too. Or the scans stopped.

Or the manga ended? I have no idea actually.

JosephWongKS got probated because by the end he was just RSS-posting links to the latest chapters of Squid Girl with no other discussion. But Squid Girl is great! The manga is cute and funny, and the show was really enjoyable to watch -- it was like watching Pinky & The Brain, if it was just Pinky and he was a tiny, stupid megalomaniac. Make a Squid Girl manga thread, you guys!

How is that probation-worthy? If no discussion is happening, it isn't his fault. And people make 'hey guys, new chapter' posts all the time in active threads.

I am actually not quite sure, now that you brought it up! That's a pretty good point! I guess it's that at the very end, it was just like multiple posts by him, and the topic was pretty much dead? So it's more like spam? You always could ask Zorak! Although, I mean, Squid Girl is a rather slice-of-life comedy series, so there's not all that much discussion to be had in the end, thinking about it.

i agree that incest stuff is bad and should be laughed out or even banned, among other really weird topics, but theres also stuff that gets judged too harshly, like just recently the kancolle thread. the show only had one episode so far, but compared to animes that get discussed quite often like the mongatari series, which i find really dang weird and also features incest, its extremely tame (i am fully aware that the ships lose more clothing the more they get damaged, which also gets shown slightly in the anime, but thats something that is and should be completely ignorable to people who are already used to anime so far as long as they dont go overboard with it, which is not an intended ship pun). it deserves a chance imo but its also okay and understandable to not have a ver high opinion of it

i actually mean this as a real post

Also in the previous ADTRW climate you would get in trouble for thinking the incredible hooters of Faye Valentine and the sweet rear end of Revy, or hell, even the supple curves of Cutie Honey and Fujiko were good, but if you clearly wanted to gently caress a young child but you never explicitly said "drat, that young child is making me horny as hell" in the Little Sisters Sinful Adolescence Season 2 Thread and instead talked about the gorgeous character design and brilliant political subtext when little sister has sex with the huge Russian man, that was okay.

also you could post about translating a vn where a man fucks a child up the rear end while forcing a noose around the child's neck and zorak would defend you and probate the people who disagreed with you

Except Zorak probated people all the time for making jokes he disliked, or for making fun of weirdos who posted 500 word essays on Kill La Kill fascism, or for having a sig that was outside whatever the 2004 proscribed regulation was. Meanwhile he dragged his feet on disallowing people to post about Loli Stripper: The Anime or discussing the deep plots present in porn erotic visual novels.

I mean yeah, he did claim to encourage more funny threads, but actively fostered a culture hostile to taking risks or stepping out of line. There's a reason the second he let everyone know "I'm out" more activity than ever before popped up in this forum.
