@oneAngrySheep I find the games rather amusing and meaningfull.
You could imply some irony to your statement,adressing precisely the part where this is a 20+ club,but despite that,ongoing forum childish games are a trend,thus making your post moar powuhfuul.
But I dig the games,they are fun.Not so many forums/clubs/gatherings are entertaining,they all try to stay on a line,like a Movie club talking ONLY about movies would be dumb.I'd be pretty bored of it.
kthxbye

This is a minor nitpick, but you could split the RULES AND GUIDE topic in more posts so it's easier to link to specific parts (you can link to single post but not mid-way in a post).

Edit: this way you can also have an index in the first post

OK, nice idea. I can get to that soon.

There are people who love many games, as Saiyaku said and others that don't. We obviously can't please everyone, but we can control the amount of games that we have and erase long inactive threads. The games are in the first page though because people are playing them, so it doesn't only depend on us but on your preferences too.
You and whoever else want to can try reviving some threads you like anytime so we have more variety in the first page. ;)

Don't really have anything against games and such but recently there's a lot more of them than before.

I call them spam because its really easy to reply to them and bump them which gets them to front page. Then I'm scared that you could miss some comment on some thread that might interest you but you don't necessarily watch it(or there's a new thread that gets kicked to second page).

angrysheep, its that reason that i always go back to page 2 (3 and 4 if necessary) to see what i missed. i mean its not that much of a nuisance.. and if i dont feel like looking into a thread, i wont. i completely ignore some threads because i know i wouldnt be so easily amused at what i find inside of em. just skip past the game threads acting as if they arent there. its not too much trouble

Hm... it was once possible to ignore topics, but the functions doesn't seem to work at the moment... at least not for me.

But yeah, I already said that I don't like too many games either, especially not these counting/listing games. But at the moment it's still possible to quickly skip those topics which I'm not interested in at the moment, so I don't have much trouble.

I plan to erase those games that will stop attracting attention. :) I don't like too many games either and I had already talked about this subject on the admins thread.
For now things just need some time to balance.. From time to time I am cleaning up some old or confusing threads, so no worries! ;)

Are these good ideas for discussion threads?

  • What do you work/study? Do you study/work that because it's your dream, or other circumstances?
  • What is your record of watching/reading anime/manga? Have you completed any series in a day?
  • Tabletop RPGs (Dungeons & Dragons, Vampire, Anima, Dragonlance...).
  • Advice Thread.
  • Weird habits we have.
  • Funny party stories (aka What crazy things have you done whilst drunk?).
  • What would you do if you ruled the world?
  • Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?

I like these two the best, but I'm not sure topics that (i think) won't create a real discussion are really fit for a forum, that's just my opinion though.

I think what do you do work/study might be good, but I'll let one of the admins make the final decision. Some of the other ones might be ok later on (like once a week), also some might be good to be discussed in Members Lounge Cafe http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=294210

I have a concept that I have developed for MAL.

The concept goes like this....

Clubs here on MAL are disconnected. Finding clubs here on MAL is a pain in the ass. Newer people just go from club to club trying to fit in and try to get themselves established. I have found several different types of clubs.

Fan Clubs
Chat Clubs
RP Clubs
Specialty Clubs

Say a person wants to RP but he wants to chat as well, and he/she is new. Where the hell do you go since MAL is full of crazies.
I propose a Hub.
I centralized court that directs the new and helps the old find new stuff. All the clubs that matter will be connected to this court. The court will even have it's own stuff to get the uninitiated a leg up. I'm still working on a lot of other aspects of this.

In simplest terms, My club is going to be a routing zone that is connected to all the clubs of MAL. ^^

I have an idea for a thread called "tip of the day". I haven't really thought too hard about it cuz of work and anime, but it'd be something like a section where people can put up tips about daily activities and such. Or we could even turn it into a game, just a thought I figured I'd share with you guys maybe we already have something like that.

not a bad idea wolf, if you'd like to develop it further that would be great. i think maybe not a game, we have sooo many of those as it is. maybe you could start on the club comments page to start off and see where it goes.

maybe it could even be more like a "thought of the day" kinda thing, where it could be like a quote (book, movie, philosopher, whatever) something you thought of yourself, sth from the fortune cookie the night before...idk just a thought though :P

I agree, but the best way to advance the ninja cause (I assume you're talking about ninjas...) is to start banning more.

Could we possibly have a thread related to college?
It doesn't have to be "What college do you attend?" But maybe something geared towards majors/aspirations/fields/etc. I know everyone isn't in school, but for those who are students, it could be a potential networking tool and general support...thingy.

i propose the creation of a General Advice topic in this club. I havent looked through all the topics, but Ive never noticed one here.

There is one in Casual Discussion forum (http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=702011&show=0)

However, as this club is for users 20-years-old or older, I think it would be helpful for there to be a thread in which 20+ users can post their problems, and receive advice from people who are 20+ y/o with similar perspectives and experiences.

So .ere is some suggestions to boost club activity on MAL.

1. Holiday Events: We can do more holiday related forum events with awards. So for instance we could do a remembrance thread for 2015 and if you participate in the thread you could get a "New year 2015" image award. This kinda brings together the passing years we have all gone through with MAL.

2. Monthly Events: We could do alot more forum related activities. This could be brained stormed.

3. Unique image items(stepping away from member cards): SO I can do some photoshop work and we could do different kind of items that show we are from 20+ It could be more 20+ oriented with the twist of anime, since we are a anime community after all.

4. Social Mixers: So I know we have a huge emphasis on the skype group which is nice. But we should hone in on the club page a bit more. But if we can get an equal balance is good. If we can do like say a monthly skype call and just chit chat for an hour that would be cool. Just something to incorporate both aspects since we have both.

5. Voting on theme. So I think for more user interaction we should be able to change the theme pretty regularly and have the community decide on the theme. Of course again emphasis on 20+ and Anime . But this could really boost activity on the page.

6. AMV of the week: So this is another way to bring a unique aspect to our group. We can do cool anime music videos on our page and have members vote on them and get everyone involved.

I have plenty other suggestions. But We could play with these for a bit

some really good suggestions there Stein...and some are pretty close to ideas me and Uuh have kicked around...so good to see we're on the same page!! :)

certainly didn't think of anything like the AMV thing though, that's really nice. wonder if there's any vidders left here anymore, that would be awesome.

we were already doing a layout and theme change pretty regularly, but it all depends on people willing to do said layouts...but kawaii, aria, and Uuh have done really well on those, so yeah, that could be nice.

maybe some more IRC related events, like the upcoming Eurovision!! but since that's once a year, sth else that has some international interest that we could simulwatch together.

In regards to your comment of the layouts?

I thought Uuh was doing them? As you told me last night? So we need more dedicated members who can maintain layout and images correct?

Also simulwatch is good. I did that with my community quite a bit.

You need to find a good streaming site(Not twitch) and hope everyone connection allows them to stream

yeah, she wasn't creating all the layouts, just the xmas one, but since she's been admin she has been vigilant in keeping things tidy in regards to the front page, changing layouts, getting rid of the outdated bday graphic, etc...and she's been outstanding with that. we could still use members who create new layouts though, can never have enough of that.

in terms of streams, is gogoanime still a viable option??

Twitch is a streaming site, usually used by gamers who do a live program of them playing. So you can see their screen and how they play. I dont follow it. I watch some pokemon once where there was some chat and depending the command the player on the game would move. but there were so many viewers trying to move him simultaneously so they wouldn't do much progress... xD

So yeah who knows. Maybe there's something equivalent where a host can stream the movie and the rest watch
