I know it sounds like a dumb question but I wanna ask - will it be usable or not?

The reason for this is that I have seen a screenshot of the forums back when OPM aired and literally the entire page was filled with OPM threads - it was a lovely sight to say the least lmfao (if im gonna find the pic in gonna post it here)

Second season probably won't carry the hype. So hopefully, it's the next hit first season to be on the lookout for.

It sure will be usable for people who didn't like OPM.

Eh, if there's obnoxious thread spam then I'll probably just do my best to dodge around it. If it becomes too much there's a little hide/ignore thread option in a really convenient place, that I'll use to whittle down the amount of threads down to topics that I'm actually interested in talking about or keeping up with.

God forbid if literally every topic is just AoT spam, though, at which point I'll just go away until shit gets less dumb.

I don't think so, MAL forums were never usable in the first place.

No I do not, you didn't even remotely made it look like an example, either way my point stands just switch OPM with another popular sequel/hyped anime airing soon and there ya go.

the opm spam was fun but the only reason why it was able to occur at all was because none of the forum mods were online for roughly 3-4 hours
i doubt something like that could happen again

"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

Well that is not a problem in the first place, I wasn't here on the first season so I don't know what happened but the forums are kinda boring without those threads.

Guys now think about it.

That is why they added lots of people in the mod team.

Even MAL now has a SWAT team.

http://web.archive.org has a bunch of old snapshots of past versions of many websites
sometimes they automatically capture a record of a website, but to be safe you could also manually do it yourself

Pretty much this. There are so many judgmental people on the forums that don't properly discuss stuff.

but that was the time when the forums were better to use
i remember those magic times where some guys on this forum started complaining of people just talking about opm and them a genius decided to make fun of that and start making opm threads every minute
the hate filled pieces about the series being overrated along with the long walls of text defending the series quality where probably the most active and fun times we had on this forum

too bad the mods will probably be extra attentive while aot is airing

How bad was it during Yuri on Ice fever season, or when Erased was overly-hyped, etc? I'm actually curious about these "hype seasons" since I've been off MAL for so long.
There is absolutely no reason why I should accept "turn your brain off" as a valid excuse to defend a poor show.

it wasn't too exciting during those times; opm season was the only interesting one in recent times

ah okay. Because anime is only a tertiary interest of mine, EVERYTHING seems blown out of proportion. (my first and second interests are studying philosophy and watching stark trek)

Don't worry about that. It's doubtful something of the caliber of the OPM spam will happen in a while. Just look how many mods have joined MAL's files (along with the 30character rule and the likes).

While granted, I wasn't here for that era, even I can look around MAL and see that the forum Mods aren't extremely active here. (Or they are active, but the process at curtailing and removing threads and posts take WAY longer then I anticipate).

For what I have seen, there are times when they are really active, but they are overall pasive.
I can see the activity of the mods increasing a lot by the time OPM 2 will air.
