Has the MAL anime discussion forum been exhausted of possible topics?

Seems like all the good topics have been made and there's just no room left for new thought provoking discussions. I have a horrible time trying to get a thread started without people attacking me for making a stupid thread. I used to try to make smarter threads but they all ended up DOA. Most of the threads are becoming repeats now or don't really warrant discussion.

This would have been a better idea if you posted it on AD, I digress since meta threads don't really get much publicity there, but yes. There is nothing you could talk about because for nearly 2 years the topics have been the same.

Just let irrational minds flow as they will, but yes, nothing new should come out of AD.

This thread is about the AD forum but not really about anime so I figured it would get moved here or locked.

Not really, you just have to think outside the box. I have a lot of strange conversations with my friends, so when a good thread idea pops into my head, I write it down for future use because why not.

I have a few good threads that haven't been made yet (I used search) but I'll do whatever it takes to shake up the common topics.
Any idea is better than another abortion or vegan thread on casual, or objective vs subjective on anime. Which is saying alot coming from me, a person who's relatively new here.

Never really cared about forums. I use this site to find new series and keep track of them. The interesting stuff comes when talking privately to someone via messages, skype or profile comments who has a similar taste, I don't see anything useful in forums I only see trolls and islamophobics.

Just because you got called out on making the 4th thread aboug digibro's rant doesn't mean there's nothing left to talk about in AD.
You've come a long way, baby.

A lot of ideas have been used more than once, there's no lie about that. But there are actually a few threads that create thought provoking discussions even for a troll. It doesn't bother me really, if I've already posted my thoughts on a particular thread, I won't post the same thoughts on a remake. If a thread doesn't interest you, search hard for another one that does or make your own.

In fact... this thread about remakes is a remake lol.

My only problem is when guy is obvs new and peeps go "Fock you bramate, dis been done 7 time dis week"
And then OP cry
and become edgy
and do school shooting
all cause MAL doods been a dick for dood not being the originalest dood


But lets be honest ere, good topics are instantly bad while the bad topics are what's the real deal
Discussion are for those who want to think

They were more or less edgy by default but creating repeat threads on AD might intensify the edge.

My threads are the only good ones. The only breath of fresh air in the eternally stagnant murk of shit that surrounds MAL. Sadly, not many people know how to appreciate them. But that's the point: If the majority knew how to appreciate what's actually good, the good will stop being good.

Praise me as your noble Lord. Praise me for only I can make this temporary abode of yours mirthful so that when you happen to look back, you will feel wistful, and sad, and would hope to relive your glory days.

I was actually quite a bit sad that pre-renaissance history related threads or katana versus claymore threads are not being remade anymore. The most recurring threads is usually about how stupid awesome dual wielding swords is, but hey I'm more of a halberd guy than a swordie.

Nothing is original anymore anyway. Just post and let the rants come. At least you created an interestind discussion.

New users keep showing up and even topics like "abortion" and "feminism" are new to them, give it some time and they too will become jaded as all hell and eventually lose interest in the forums.

Notice how prior 2014 regulars are no longer as active as before, heck even @Immahnoob stopped posting even though he used to live on CD basically.

I guess this is natural for forums :/

In the first place watch more anime, it's not related with this topic but I had to say it.
Don't expect something original when you go to a forum, you are going to see the same things, unless something else besides a human made that thread.

Good riddance. That guy is like Ravioli, minus the kinda funny and likable part.

I tried providing a new topic when I was only a few weeks old here but it got derailed pretty quickly.

Since then, I tried to at least make threads that hasn't really been talked about before. But, occasionally, I do dabble in those recycled topics.

Well, I still think that AD is better than this board, in general.

I think it has. I remember the old days of explaining why One Piece is shit to rabid fan-boys for hours on end.

I feel like the userbase is less interesting if anything. Recycled topics can still be good if the responses are decent.

Absolutely

Back in the day we used to have a variety of interesting threads, nowadays it's just feminism/SJW/religion related topics or nazi trolling chauvinism BS

Which is why MAL needs to revoke the 30 characters minimum rule and rule 6 once and for all

what are you talking about? i'm sure there are many more topics to discuss about feminism and religion considering MAL absolutely never talks about those.
