I have posted 5 postings today before (6 with this one) and I was suddenly having 15004 postings instead of 15005. With this one, it should have been 15006. So which older posting of mine is missing now and why? You really want to turn this forum into a graveyard?

Our current world. The Internet Archive shouldn't exist because there are bad bad BAD things on it! We must clamp down on rule violators and their behavior at once.

Of all of the things that have been making the MAL forum experience worse in recent years, this might be that one that will actually kill it for me (if it continues to happen). I've completely lost interest in typing long, well though out replies that might or might not get deleted on a random mod's whim and without notice. I can't even fathom what would lead someone to subscribe to a website that stabs you in the back in such a manner.

Very much a waste of time.

Thank you for your response, I really like your comment here, since it's pretty much exactly why I don't really want to post much any longer. But it's not only that: for one, it feels like I have invested way too much in my forum responses and got way too little out of having been active here on top of having people stab me in the back and/or having acted irrationally hostile towards me and now there's some mild annoyance that is mentioned in topicid=2200979 on top of it. At least with the latter there is a high enough chance that they will get eventually bored as well when you don't give them any attention, but it's really hard imho to get genuine appreciation and interest in myself to the point that despite having quite the high and legit post counter and despite having been active for so long, I end up being quite invisible, which in turn is more convenient so I would be spared from being summoned in quite some awkward thread about other "regulars" or "male users" in especial when I know barely anyone cares what I write.

So you feel left out but want nothing to do with my silly threads.😞 But that's quite normal; it's easy to be off people's radar if you're barely active. This forum has dozens and dozens of old regulars with post counts similar to yours that nobody remembers at all. It's just like when MellowJello showed up back in November, and barely anyone knew who he was.

@fleurbleue not entirely accurate. I prefer to stay as an observer in such cases. 😉
I wasn't talking about mere lip service that is usually being done in circle-jerking threads, I was talking about genuine appreciation and interest, and you can also add making a positive change to the list. Like what's the point of investing so much time and emotional energy in your postings when they either get deleted, people end up forgetting about you, people end up attacking you or don't really appreciate what you write or that you care(d)?

A forum only really works well if there are people who care in a positive sense instead of having either only single responses without interaction or interactions based on people just writing with their gang/clique or interactions based on conflict. These three things are what can ruin the forums experience of a/n (formerly) active user.

I remember the user you've mentioned, they were much more known than myself and even a former mod for some time. I also remember quite some other users with whom I used to write to and/or who used to be (more) active in the past. The point is that there are only very few people who try to at least behave welcoming and are people-orientated but even that doesn't guarantee any genuine friendship. The most I've got has or had been some "glorified penpal" as someone else in some other thread has put it.

That's not much different than interacting with people in real life, though. You invest yourself into relationships and you sometimes have no way to know if they will last or not. They could turn on you. They could forget you eventually. But that's just how it goes. There are always going to be bad days. Anyway, if you engage with people expecting to build lifelong relationships, it’s only natural to feel disappointed when that doesn’t happen. I myself am around here only to have some dumb fun and change my mind a little, not really to create deep bonds. At the end of the day, we are still all strangers on the internet. But if I somehow still manage to build a decent friendship with anyone, I will take it.

Conflicts I would absolutely do without, even though I do get wrapped up in some from time to time. I interact with a lot of the same users, but that’s hard to avoid when there are so few active users... But I do think I care in a positive way? I do my best in my own way. I’m sorry if you don’t approve of my threads. You’ll probably have to tolerate many more of my light-hearted and silly threads.

Yes, but my main issue here has been that I feel too strongly and too hopeful too soon. I've also been primarily here for "some dumb fun", but I get too attached too soon if I get the feeling someone would like me quite a lot.

It's pretty bad if it has to come to conflict because otherwise people wouldn't engage as much or even at all, since apparently, some people prefer to have an emotional rollercoaster over stable, but plain interactions with others.
It's not only the same users, there are new or other users that also post from time to time. What is rarer are users that focus on other people's responses rather than just responding to the same users all over again or only replying to a thread for their post count or because they've wanted to put out their response.
Btw: I have nothing against your threads, those are just not the type I would like to participate myself

P.S.: if you want to avoid the auto-quoted textbox above, you need to paste your whole response into a new reply box

I myself would be more interested in finding postings as even with the advanced search by subboard and with various search engines with the "site:myanimelist.net/forum" parameter, it gets incredibly difficult to find specific postings.

oh ok I remember that now.

Actually none of that is related.
Searching is a whole other thing kind of not possible to do unless I made and you used a script that would track all your posts (only from now on), so old ones are lost...

That post is about com to com, not forum posts.
This topic is about forum posts, which I also think that's possible and easy for me or someone like me to code it, if anyone asks for the code...

A pity, then. In that case, I could simply copy the URL of every new posting, but it's too much trouble.

@Zarutaku: I've tried that as well, but it didn't work. I have to specifically search for "hdds now confirmed noboru site:myanimelist.net/forum" (without " ") to find my thread in the archived CE, though by now Google also finds it. And yes, it's become a bit more complicated for nested quotes, but you can just inspect the message under "More" and then use the mouseover for the "Quote Reply" feature to get the starting quote tag in front. Though it will auto-collapse after like three quotes so no fun quote trees since quite a long time.
Alternatively, you can just use mentions to respond to someone

@lucjan: Yes, some posts are actually a piece of art, but I'm having trouble finding a specific posting of mine where I've used the image align BBCode feature for a neat-looking posting. The rest may contain inspiring and thought-stimulating content. Oh wait, just found it.

I experienced this as well with this thread:
Happy New Year & 2023 Wrap-Up!

Proof: https://web.archive.org/web/20250413172436/https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2139248
(Surprised someone even managed to archive the thread but the archive is incomplete.)

I know I posted in Feb, Mar and Apr. I remember having a conversation with @deg there as well but it's nowhere to be found. I could only find them in my e-mail. deg tagged me on Feb. 22 as per the e-mail notif and Wayback Machine but I responded to them after 2 or 3 months (the response wasn't archived on the Wayback Machine unfortunately). Anyways, my deleted post isn't that important but I don't really like them deleting posts...

Thread Locked.
I missed posting the 2024 Wrap-Up thread due to my poor personal health in December and January. Bumping this thread every time I post another announcement isn't going to change that :')

I'm really happy that you look forward to these threads every year. This year just couldn't be helped. I hope to resume posting them next year.

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?goto=post&topicid=2139248&id=72726900

The thread has been locked too. Haha. I wasn't spamming it; it just so happened that when I came back to the thread every month or so that I'm the only one posting and asking or was even interested in the stats (because I keep track of them in my blog). My posts where not even against the guidelines. I was just seriously wondering and trying to understand why they didn't update the site's stats for 2024. Now, I know what really happened after their super late response. At least I got a response. Well, the thread is now locked. LOL. So no stats for 2024. I really hope there'll be for 2025.

Same! If they were gonna lock the thread they could've at least not deleted the posts but some of it were about their past and new owners so I get why. Haha.

Um, no...? wtf lol. People still refer to long locked threads even recently.

Here is a great example:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2099999

And NO this is not the ONLY one lmao. And this thread is not referred to only because of ishinashi, but due to the subject matter in the thread (discussions). This is a problem with a lot of locked threads (or deleted ones) and I can honestly see why someone would justify them deleted later. Personally tho, I'm not fond of deleting when locking seems enough. There's invaluable info sometimes along with "problems".

What use is there in nuking entire threads when they are already locked and long forgotten, though?


Do you not see the incredible contradiction in your statements? If it were forgotten, you wouldn't notice it being deleted D;

Oh, but you have so many posts already... You could afford to lose, maybe like, one or two? I'm sure it's fine.


That's such a heartless thing to say! Don't you know if his posts drop from 20,340 to 20,330 the users with 20,331 to 20,340 will start dunking on him for having less posts!?! Literally, 9/11 for MAL!

@Shishio-kun Do you actually want threads to be deleted or something? 🤔 Or do you just want to be contrarian to whatever I say?

I didn't notice any thread deletion, I just saw posts disappearing from people's post counts. But if the deleted threads aren’t forgotten, I wouldn't mind if you could tell me which threads were deleted.

@CC Well, this very thread would have stayed forgotten if you hadn't nuked threads? 🤨

Anyway, that doesn't answer my question! A locked thread has no choice but to fall into the abyss of obscurity… unless you're nuking threads that aren't locked?
@fleurbleue @149597871 Hey, I didn't do it! I was making a guess at what happened! The rest of my post was just me teasing Zarutaku about his really big, massive post count.

But yes, I meant threads that aren't locked, sorry for the confusion. It's usually rule violating threads that should've been deleted already (not locked/mods didn't see it) and then they get bumped and reported, even when they're years old.

Edit: For added clarity, what I'm saying is locked threads don't get deleted. They're not supposed to be, anyway, but mods aren't a monolith and I can't tell you what they do when God isn't looking.

I disagree. Only harmful threads and postings/passages of postings should ever be deleted that is if they are like extremely hateful, contain too graphic or otherwise too disturbing materials, attempt to dox or defame users. Everything else can be just locked.

I have mentioned an example here, would really like to know why the thread I've mentioned there has been deleted despite having been locked for months and despite not containing anything extreme

I have a few questions about thread/posting deletions:

1) Can Community Mods see the logs of when a deletion has happened and by whom or only Admins?
2) Do you have to enter a comment/reason when someone decides to delete a thread or posting?
3) Is there a "soft-delete" mode in which threads or postings are hidden, but can be recovered after being reviewed?
