I keep open the recent posts page and refresh it every once in a while going all the way back to where I was when I last checked so I never miss anything. Even do it in the morning with all 20 something pages. Damn dude. That's some insane stuff. (I think this was not serious, so how did you get here? I personally do it by just coming in and checking if someone replied, please help :( ). I personally don't really care for the social network like design. In fact, I prefer the profile to profile thing over it. I think Hummingbird's biggest advantage is that people perceive that it has a better community. At least that's what most people point to when they compare it to MAL. |

Of course when there's only <100 people in the forum like ever, people are going to know each other and generally be more well behaved. But people are already becoming sick of the forum. |

IntroverTurtle said: What do you mean? ... How do you reply in like <10 minutes? Do you just constantly browse the forums and look for new stuff/check for replies, or is there some sort of way to get notified or keep track of all that stuff?

Heredity said: that's a surprise. Yeah. I personally feel like it is starting to closely resemble MAL forums. It still is a little better in my opinion (besides the fact that it is pretty quiet), but not much. |

| As it is right now, hell no, there are other sites, there is Excel, and there are other forums where I could discuss anime and manga, probably with less stupidity. MAL is my first so that's the only reason why I'm still clinging to it, but if I had to start paying for it, then MAL should give me a good reason to do so. |

I've never noticed that the recent posts thing even existed. So that means there aren't any notifications, that sucks :/ |

rrexyl said: No, it's not a joke. I go back 20 pages in the morning to see what I missed while I was sleeping. I do the same with HB, though that's more like scrolling down a few times as they're not nearly as active.IntroverTurtle said: rrexyl said: I already told you, the recent posts page.

IntroverTurtle said: This site has no notifications for the forum. It has, however, notifications for threads. And this is the biggest disappointment for me - that it is only limited to 300 threads. If that limit was lifted, I would wish nothing more from this site |
   |
| LMAO hell no. I already printed off my anime list so I would just keep adding to it. |
 |
| Thread moved Thread moved to correct board. |
| No. |
 |
| No, but I can tell you why I would join if I had the money for subscription. All the idiots would flock to a free site. If MAL was a paid subscription, I'd join because there are no more idiots here. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| the site is fucking broken and you want me to pay for using it? nope |
 |
| not with this shitty interface |
| what a joke |
| I bet they paid OP to post this thread. |
| Lol i wouldn't pay 1 cent a year to be on this site. I only joined to keep track of my anime I've seen or thought sounded good. Only reasons i'm on the forums is to kill time on break at work, or wait for my family to go to bed so i can watch episodes without headphones on. |
jimbobyoo said: Lol i wouldn't pay 1 cent a year to be on this site. I don't even use the listing function or anything else on this site and I'd still pay 1 cent per year for it if that's what it cost. I'm sure I get at least 1 cent worth of entertainment per year from MAL. If I compare it with the $18 it costs me to see a shit movie these days it's really a bargain. That said, I wouldn't pay much more than 1 cent a year. |
| I'd only pay if they bring back [img] [gif] [yt] |
 |
| But of course. |
 |
| With plenty of free alternatives, why should I? I can use AnimePlanet to keep track of my watched anime, and if I want to talk to other anime fans, I got other places for that as well. This site would become dead in no time if paying would become mandatory. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| No. |
| nope, this is why web ads exist. so they can fund their site and we can use their site for free. |
| No. I would go to another anime listing site. |
 I can see you |
| No. |

| You mean you would pay for this shit? The website is pretty buggy and the owners of the site are unwilling to make any changes to the layout or the way the site operates. It does not seem like a prudent investment to me. |

smelly-cat said: You mean pay to use a site whose admin fucked off, where half the interesting topics are locked for 'listing,' and get warned/banned regularly for petty things? fuck no. their listing feature is pretty cool, but it's a backup since I keep track of it on my computer too. Oh yeah so interesting of a topic, wish we could have more of these List 3 anime characters you wanna eat with who's your waifu whats ur favorite tsundere who's ur husbando pick 3 places u'd wanna live whats ur favorite genre whats ur favorite shounen what's ur favorite bad guy |

| I don't even want to be here right now. So no. |
| I have to pay just to write comments on a forums website? |
| Yeah, no thank you. Unless paying meant that the website would be developed, no. |
| Shhh don't give them any ideas! I would either move to a different website, or keep a list of my own. |
| Pay for a site that just catalogs how much anime you've watched? Dafuq? |
 |
| The reason we use this site is because it's free. No way in hell would I pay to use MAL. |
| No, would probably go make my own website similar to this one. With blackjack... and hookers! |
 |
| No. I'd go back to using Excel for my list (or one of the newer anime listing sites) and other websites for info. As for the forums, I don't think I'd want to be around if the only members are people who love anime/this place enough to pay to be on here lol. |
 |
| Whats the point? Its not like theres no competition for this same exact concept. |
 |
| Thread Locked An emphatic no for various reasons. Not to mention a hypothetical that will most likely never be a reality. Discussion's over. |
