I love you, Wonko.

It started as a)an alternative to member numbers, and b)a device for RPing. Since no one Rps here anymore, I don't know why we keep doing it, but people seem obsessed with making it harder and harder to join.

We don't like them. Well, we don't like them more than we would if they'd just join the proper way.Welcome to the Internet.

Pretty much, non-users who continue to stick around causing shit/not joining just get treated poorly until they wise up or leave.

Welcome to the Internet.

Classic rant ftw.

Alrighty. Who thinks we should get rid of the 10 anime/choose a character requiremen to join?

As much as I find it's a great way to determine a new user's personality, I don't really see it as 100% necessary.

Should we cut down on it (take it back to five, mayhaps?) or totally elminate it?

We should keep it. Don't all "clubs" need some type of requirement/way to join? I like the choosing a character thing...though it is probably the part that is least necessary and causes the most confusion. I mean, there are lots of animes on tv, and probably any anime fan could think of 10 they've at least scene if they stop to think about it. I mean DBZ, Pokemon, Yugioh....3 easy ones that probably everyone has scene.

So I don't think we should take anything away from the joining process.

We could maybe have like a probabtionary period of a week/10 pages...or whatever...and then decide if they can join. That may be too much work/hastle and telling someone after a week they can't join might not go well. Akatuski probably wouldn't be a member if that rule was in effect, cus bad starts can ruin a person's chances of joining/becoming a good poster.

Or we could ask someone to tell their history with anime, which has to include their 10 favorite animes and character they most liked. The gender thing maybe can be changed...cus if someone want to be a girl..that's ok...cus there are some cool anime girls, like Excel Excel or Lina Inverse or Akane that some guy's might not mind being.

Hah, sorry, just passing through. Couldn't resist. Bye now

I agree we should keep it. Since we've practically gotten rid of the "choose an anime character" requirement, it's only reasonable that we keep the number of favorite animes high. Besides, it's just a number.

Yeah, but in the past few months, we've had some uncooperative little dicks who couldn't be arsed to put 10, or would repeat series (by putting both the manga and the anime adaption, and if it's a straight adaption and not a sequel, I consider it the same thing).

I've no idea why you'd want to join an anime club if you were UNABLE to say you like 10 different anime.

The list includes movies doesn't it? If so, it's pretty damn easy.

Although I don't know how you'd be able to compare a movie to a series.

Oh believe me, I've heard some really great excuses.

Yes, movies do count.

True enough.

I support anime club transvestism.

Or is it transsexualism?

The latter seems more probable.

As do I.

It could go either way....

No matter what it'll be considered, it needs to happen.

Now.

To deny your inner anime character would be oppression of your own self.

Well if you, HaroFreak, and I all vote for the change, who else would we need to make it an official rule change? How many more authority figures/other people do we need? Wonko or Starks would/should/could be needed.

Do not ever refer to Kouga as an authority figure ever again.

Uh... I didn't. I just said you OR him would/should/could be needed. I didnt reer to either of you as authority figures, or even other people. cus if all it took to add/change/remove a rule would be 3 authority figures approval, me-Gendo-HaroFreak could do whatever we want.

You mentioned his vote for changing a rule. He holds no power. He is only a regular member. Actually, he's not even that, the last time I updated the list, I took him off.

For me, I only see it as a way of demonstrating how many series a person knows. And there HAS to be a better way of doing this.

Chances are that you missed the introduction of the new forums (link in my text sig), so sign up and try it out.

It seems like such a superficial rule change, why exactly would you need more than 2 people voting on it?

It's not as if it's changing anything important, just what people are able to put in their sigs as what character they are..

At 4/18/07 07:23 AM, Kuro wrote: It seems like such a superficial rule change, why exactly would you need more than 2 people voting on it?

Just as a practice on getting favored votes.

Besides, doing this leaves rule changes open to suggestions and other commentary, thus possibly achieving a much better outcome such as increasing member standards asides from naming ten random series they have watched (or so one can claim).

I just read the last 2 pages to catch up and can we keep the Guro in here to a minimum? I would appreciate it. Or at least for today. I had to stay home due to a really bad stomach and personally I don't wanna make it worse than it is now.

So what do you guys think though? I know Ak already gave me a response but I want to know what you guys think too. Will the episodes for the TOS OVA (heh, yet again with the acronyms) be longer than a half-hour each?

Yes, God yes.

My vote is final on this proposal, and it's a solid "Yes."

No one has posted any Guro at all in the last two pages....

If you're inferring Kuro's presence will fill the club with Guro, shut up and die. He's not as one-note as people seem to think he is. If anything, he's one my favorite NG /A/ members.

No info about running time has been released, but I'd say they'll be 45 minutes tops.

Alright, enough people seem to have voiced their opinions.

Shall we have a final vote on the two current topics?
