I'm not going to be in the kewl crowd and say something edgy like 'it was always shit,' I do find things on here to entertain myself. However, I'm not a fan of the moderation here and I'm sure as hell not a fan of Casual Discussion being treated like a place where you can only have serious debate topics.

There should be a seperate Debate Topic Section instead of merging it with the Casual Section.
Casual Discussion: "Do you think Genoicde is okay for some people?." That isn't Casual.

We used to have one, but in all his infinite wisdom Xinil (I assume Xinil since he's the one one who can code for the site) split it into:

1. Games, Computers, and Tech Support
2. Music and Entertainment
3. Current Events

I've only been here for a couple of months but there's nothing here that is truly exciting or engaging. A few topics pop up here and there but its nothing compared to the troll wars and debates I've had on other forums.

Nothing beats going into a troll war and watching troll after troll get flustered enough to get banned. It is quite funny actually as I'm just about done cleaning up the DmC board on GameFAQS board at the moment Got one troll left and we're good for now.

I've never cared much for the MAL forums. Made an intro thread over a year ago then never came back.

Finally got run off the MCF which had been my home since 2010. I picked MAL back up as it was low hanging fruit so to speak. Already had an account here and a buddy trying to convince me it was worth my time.

The quality of threads has got less interesting lately, but it's not that this forum was specially fascinating anyway, it's just a fine place to waste time on. Since I know it I have seen the same dead horse discussions being created again and again:

-Which battle shonen is better?
-Sub vs dub
-The quality of anime has decreased because moe
-What do you think of feminism?
-Religion or science?
-Gun rights
-I like lolis, am I a piece of shit?

And etc.

No, from the time I was active, it ended up being a wasteful time of my life. I thought I'd find people worth conversing with but it ended up being closed minds trumps all.

Let it continue to be that way as we'll have no other way to make a difference in what we see.

Ya know who you're talkin' to, boyo? I've been foruming since I was like... 10 years old or something. This is not news to me.

But honestly, that is a real stupid reason not to converse with people, because close-mindedness is a trait the MAJORITY of the human race possesses, not just those who surf the internet. I've found countless good people to talk to over the internet regardless of their tastes and/or their close/open state of mind, and I really enjoy talking and discussing things with those people

Letting something as silly as people being stubborn keep you from talkin' to people won't do you any good. Hell, for an ironic twist, you might even consider yourself to be the close-minded one in terms of how you accept people.

EDIT: Hum, random rant. Why do I do dis?

I've met some really nice and open-minded people on MAL, but I've found that you have to take the conversing outside of the forums, because it's not exactly the best place and setting to have meaningful discussions in. I mostly just visit the forums to amuse myself, but if I stumble upon some interesting members I might chat them up, and it's much more pleasant than trying to have a deep, thought-provoking conversation when people are going mental around you.

^ This again. I need to stop quoting.

To keep a conversation going, MAL doesn't really have anything instantaneous for a chat other than IRC. You might find someone on the forums interesting enough -> moves to profile comments -> move to PMs or stay on profile comments but eventually both these forms are rather slow and goes contrary to the "instant messaging" we're all too familiar with when we talk to friends. A 1v1 discussion on a forum thread often have other users commenting on it as well with the obvious troll type, skeptic type, and the spamming type involved. It's not really a problem of MAL, since all forums share these identical flaws.

In other words, (join MAL IRC today~~~~)

Usually scared away or eaten up by the majority though. Since I haven't been here very long, I'm not sure if I can comment in the same area as the older members have been doing. That being said, I do enjoy it here.
