Rewards should be given to those that participate... ... ... It sounds like we're bribing people to post on the 'general' topic sections. -.-' LOLZ Finally I'm back in a good mood... But what I've said still holds true for me. *waves some random flag that appeared out of nowhere* The games section usually ends up DC related if you pay attention. If we ever ask what's cute, what's cool, or whatever, you're always going to see Conan, Heiji, and Kaito (and I bring up Saguru) on the forums.
Out of curiosity, I just picked the most popular (in replies) general forum (which is who is the BO boss?) and I only counted people who posted 5+ times in the forum. (because if they posted once or twice, I don't think it really counts as an 'active' conversation person) There are fourteen members on that list. Same number of 'active' members in DCW IRL. (5+ posts) By contrast, 23 members have posted 100+ times in the most popular game forum, Count to a Million. (and we are still not even close....) I was too lazy to count 5+ and only above 100 really counts in that forum. I know it's harder to think of responses and everything to general forums, but if we want to look at site activity, I think the games forum would be very popular. (though I do give credit to 'What is your Favorite Episode' in the anime section for having well over a million views<- only reason I dare not claim the games forum is not the most popular because I really don't feel like adding everything. My calculators almost out of batteries.) I think the situation is like this:
We can come on everyday and do a variety of things. We can chat in the chatroom, we can have post wars in the games forum, we can read and enjoy art in the fanart sections, we can learn languages, we can talk about our interests, and we can talk about DC. I think all of us like these things in moderation. And forum games are like video games- the obsession wears off eventually after we feel comfortable enough to step out and not just stay there all day. Just keep in mind that I don't even go on the games forum anymore and haven't posted there for about a month and I'm still here arguing for it. And as for the argument that we don't talk about DC in games... Go take a look and see how much of it actually has to do with DC. I remember bragging over managing to claim the number 1412 in the count to one million forum. There's more DC talk in there than you would think. If you're going to take away that post count, then why not take it away in a. All games topics (including video games) b. Music, Movies & TV c. Other mangas/animes? That stuff almost never involves DC. Maybe take away the chatroom too, but that's more DCW related than anything else. I seriously don't get the point of getting rid of the post count from games if we actually do talk about DC in there and you aren't get ridding of post counts from forums that nearly never talk about it. (nobody take offense from what I say in case someone does because I do not need another fight right now. I'd just like to share my views)
