I'm not fond of this thread, y'all are just a bunch of mean bullies.

You should know from past experience being a member since 2012: that any anime sites in competition with MAL of which threads are made result in one thing and one thing only. CIRCLEJERKING.

That's a truly solid point. But then again: how would you otherwise summarize this entire thread? Perhaps us MALians know that there is a time and place for both pulling the wires and longing contempt.

The chat thread's something else though. They're like the Quebec of the MAL forums.

Every thread on this site degrades into a circlejerk within the first page anyhow.

I accept that, but pls keep the jerking bully free.

Just curious: did you apply for a moderation spot? If not you should have. No derision by the way.

not to mention 99.9% of people there don't know what ad hominem is
I'm kinda glad that there isn't someone claiming fallacies during every argument though.
why? i'd say it's actually refreshing to see people who actually know what fallacies are on a website such as this. the only time it's annoying for me is when someone tries to refute someone else on fallacy alone without explaining why they might claim their argument to be fallacies. 'that's a fallacy!'

No, it gets annoying. I'm already sick of the word "ad hominem" as it is, but that's because every time I make a reply, someone always has to think that I'm just another sucker trying to "test their intelligence."

News flash: YOU ARE NOT THAT SMART. GET OVER YOURSELF.
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

Really? Now that I was not aware of. Though I remember some people leaving because of moderation, while others basiled due to Incapsula. Hum. Curious as to how their forums are compared to MyAnimeLists now.

from my limited time there observing the forums, its like MAL but they got more freedom with the rules, i read somewhere that the only rule is to not be a douchebag so its easy to find replies to topics that only contain picture meme and one line comments but their are still people willing to discuss a topic on lengthy manner

Some user was talking about this dude named josh, and I politely asked if josh was his boyfriend or something, and he got really mad and said I should be banned. It was scary. JD was there with me. Those guys are evil.

And Korrvo and diran are there right now so it can't be THAT bad.

i still think it's sort-of silly that you have both a main website profile and a community profile on hummingbird. also, i've noticed the header image placement isn't consistent between them.

From what I observed, I think if anything, people on there too nice, if such a thing exists on forums. It's as if no one likes to speak their mind. While I don't see a problem with that if it's how they like it, I personally find it somewhat creepy and it would sorta make me feel uncomfortable.

I had never heard of it so I checked it out. It feels like they made a phone app and just took the app and stretched it into a website xD


Everyone here is rude and an asshole, including you, you can go die in a hole. I can see why everyone hates you and why your anime list sucks.
Just joking. Yeah, I agree that there's a lot of nice people around here.

One topic about Hummingbird is enough but seeing many to grab visitors isn't worth mentioning. At least come up with unique news or something instead of these random silly questions.

This is like which is better Vbulletin or Xenforo when one is better than the other and the other is trying to catch up.

Do it, for the sake of your lovely site. MAL is full of assholes and that makes this site far superior than Hummingbird.

It does sound a lot like MyAnimeList, minus the rules. Some quick snooping lead me to a few of Korrvo's posts as well. I wonder how many people here are posting there under an alias...

I don't know... people over at HB don't really seem that different from people on MAL.

Or maybe it's because I Skype with members from both sites a lil too much. Hehehe.

I just visited HB.............. is this twitter or something? Why the fuck would I want to "follow" a user? "Teens react to Attack on Titan", what is this, facebook? Did the guy who made this just go "Hey, MAL is rather popular, isn't it? Hey wait, know what else is popular? Facebook and Twitter. Let's mix them and we can call the bullshit that comes out 'Hummingbird'". Seriously, it's as if there was no thought process behind the designing of the site. Just mix the features of some popular sites together and voila, the sheep are entertained.

HB is like a refuge for banned users. Korrvo's ban is like two weeks so he's been there for awhile. I have an account there too from back when my account was first deleted.
