I have to thirdly agree that this is an excellent board.  I sense no hostility here either.   This place is even better than the TRC board, thus, this is why I signed up here instead of there.   I forgot to mention this but at the Distant Horizons, an Avatar fan forum, they have something similar to a "What" board but there are no restrictions over there because the main "general" part of the forum participates a lot in the main topics (related anything to Avatar, of course).  The SDC forum doesn't have a restriction on their "game" section part of the forum either but it isn't abused or anything.   >_>

I signed up a day after this forum was created so yeah, I've discussed and debated with people for awhile.  I theorized and my post were usually longer than I have now.  I really don't know what happened from now and then.  Maybe its cause we've talked about TRC/CCS/Anime/Manga too much and don't know what to say anymore.  Or something like that...

I'm not sure.  Back then, I remember posting like...huge essays or lots of paragraphs filled with serious discussions and stuff but lately I haven't done anything like that.  I do believe the "What" board is getting a bit out of hand but I don't think deleting it is a good thing.  As someone already stated before me (look back a few pages), limiting the times you post in the "What" board is a good thing.  Maybe 5-8 posts.

CW Forums has seriously gotta be one of the best and I've been around.  I'm signed up to a few forums now as well and it isn't nearly as good as being here.  The people I've met here are like my internet family now, they like...totally rock.  XD  But yes, I think using shame or putting that warning mark under a person's username if they accidentally break a rule is a good yet bad idea.

Good because it teaches the person a lesson from never doing it again and bad because it embarasses the person that made the mistake.  Yeah...I'm done.  xP

I'm not sure if someone has already mentioned anything I written below because there are too many posts to read and I only got about 20 minutes until I phone up a company for a job, so have no time to read anything, but the first post, but anyway.......

I don't post much on the what board and the reason why I don't post there often is because 95% of everything in the what board consists of one word posts or spam and I prefer not to spam because I don;t want to become a spammy member (sorry if I made anyone that posts on the what board sound like a spammy member) looking at Moezy-Cahn's first post, I have similiarities with her in the reason why she joined this forum and my reason is because I want to talk and share my interests with everyone about Ainme, manga, ccs, tsubasa and other things.Also after a quick look through some of the posts, someone mentioned disabling posts counts and limiting the amount of times per day to post on the what board (sorry i forgot who it was and I got so little time to look through the posts again) and I think thats a great idea. Think about the chains board, it is hidden needing 200+ posts to view it and people can constantly post on the what board to get to the 200+ posts where as I have to wait patiently for interesting topics to post to get up to 200+ posts.

Normal Forum section hiding is a good thing, but the posts needs some limitations I guess.

That's a pretty good idea. The What Board can be a privilage to those that really contribute. As far as Anything Goes, that's just to let off steam so I have no problem with newbies posting there. Are there any other suggestions? I'm up to hearing anything.

I'm embarrassed for talking about this, and I feel like I really have no say what-so-ever in this mater, but...
I've been here as a guest for about four months reading about the mang and anime discussions for TRC and I've never ever joined a forum before. I've read them, several times I'll just stay an outsider and read them, but I really care about Tsubasa and I wanted to talk with everyone about it, but I was scared. I felt like, well, what I am, a newbie, and that I didn't have a right to talk about anything, and the people who had been here longer had better ideas and better theories and paid attention better to CLAMP etc.
Since I formed kind of an inferiority complex, and since I've never been on a forum in my life, I came here, to the "Anything goes..." boards to see if I could just talk to someone.
I understand now that this is not the place to just talk to people about anything. Its a place to talk about CCS and Tsubasa and there are other forums for talking about yourself or with other people on no particular topic so I will discontinue use of General Discussions. Its probablly better that I go back to watching and reading everyone's responses anyway.
I understand that is not what you want, but I also understand what it is you want. I'll take my plan of action and do my best to help bring the forum's focus to the series.
I'm sorry you left Moezychan, but I can understand why. Even though I haven't been on this forum long, I've been reading and watching for some time now. ^.~
