Will you ever grow out of MAL?
| Simple. MAL is a hobby for most of us, and for a lot of us, this is the website we're most active on. But either way you look at it, is MAL something you expect to be on for the foreseeable future? Life happens and it's already happening for many users, but would you ever let that get in the way of your MAL passion? Being on less because of life is one thing, but giving up on it nearly completely to only be on 1 or twice every few months is essentially the same thing. Or maybe as you get older, you'll gradually lost interest in MAL, or in anime in general. Do you feel like this is inevitable --- that you'll grow out of MAL in the future, or are you motivated to stay here with us as long as possible? Will your MAL passion ever die? Discuss and stuffs. |

| when i stop reading manga/watching anime, yeah |
| No, I need a way to keep track of my anime when I'm too old to remember. But forum use, yes if i had more interesting of a life I might drop off the forums. |
Rokumi said: no, never MAL is all I got deep |
| No. I need it to keep track of all the things I'm watching or else I would never remember. I've been here for seven years and I haven't grown out of it, yet. I also don't see myself growing out of anime, so I'll def continue needing this place. |
| If there come a day when I can no longer enjoy anime and manga, then yes. A sad day that will be though. |
 I can see you |
| I'll use the listing feature, always. If my life gets too busy then I might drop the forums. Though I doubt that'll ever happen since I'm a huge slacker. |

| yep. I can't imagine a 40 year old me still shitpost on the forums lol |
| Never say never |
| Addicted to visual novels omgg |

VitaminCaim said: I'll use the listing feature, always. Before MAL, I had my anime list on a Word document that I decorated with big pictures and art styles on the side. I still update that thing as much as I do my MAL one, but something that one has over MAL is the animes are all in descending order from favorite to least --- something MAL should introduce sometime. I personally joined MAL because a friend told me to, and not really for the listing. So if I ever stop using MAL, it'll probably be all of MAL, for me at least. |

 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

| "Move on"? This is the highest form of shit-tier existence. Either way, I can see myself stop using the forums at some point, but that doesn't mean I won't update my MAL list every so and forth. I've tried using word docs before but it gets too laggy after a while. |

No like, it's alphabetical by default but you can view it descending by rating each time. |

mayukachan said: Oh by the actual rating/score? Is that the same as manually ordering animes based on favorites? Because there's some animes I like more than others even though they have the same score.Protaku94 said: Oh I might do that lol. Didn't know that.

| who knows. i use this site a lot whenever i have nothing to do or to just organize what i've read/watched. maybe there will come a time when this will all be in the past |
 |
| ive been here for almost 6 years and so far i never get bored of it |

It's not the same but kind of similar to how you'd sort favourites. For me, I have a specific list (outside of MAL) of all my favourites (including shows I score low but I loved) |
| B-but, MAL is my home. |
mayukachan said: Yeah that's kind of how my outside list works too. Some animes I rated low, but loved(Blood-C for example). Or if MAL had option for more than one anime list, that would be awesome too. My list on MAL is more objective, while the outside one is more subjective.Protaku94 said: Oh by the actual rating/score?

Bambi_ said: B-but, MAL is my home. MAL is like home. CD is like that room you don't go into anymore because you walked in on your dad video taping himself cross dressing and doing Katy Perry impressions. |
Bambi_ said: B-but, MAL is my home. This and I was already here for 2 years I just started posting like 2 months ago, even if I get sick of the thread, comment and pm mechanics of MAL I'll still need to keep track of my animes somehow. And no I won't stop watching anime when I get older. My hobbies are gaming an anime and they have been for as long as I can remember, I'd rather die than go back to cable and whatever else "adults" do in their free time at home. |

Aikareos said: I don't use MAL as my social life, unlike many posting here. Shots fired. |
Aikareos said: Chloroform-chan said: Shots fired. Nah, it's just that I generally dislike people who prefer Casual Discussion over watching anime, which (regarding anime) this site to me is meant for. I mean it kind of defeats the purpose for signing up here if you're using it to just chat about things outside of anime rather than talk about the niche interest everyone who signs up for here has or might have in common. But I don't care what anyone else thinks, that's just my opinion. Some of us post in both! |
| I was joking when i said that MAL was my home. |
Bambi_ said: I was joking when i said that MAL was my home. You don't have to defend yourself. We are all joking along with you. |
| I'm not that active in the forums so I'd say probably or probably not. |
