not to go full weeaboo extermination here, but I was thinking about repurposing this forum to a general "what are you watching" subforum, for anime, but also to include movies, TV shows, youtube channels, podcasts, and other watchable content we can talk about. A place to do movie reviews, talk about the best streaming services, favorite characters on a hit show, etc.
thoughts?

You could and maybe there would be more posts but the reason this subforum exists is to contain all the anime content and I thank you for giving anime its own subforum.
Please consider making a separate subforum for all the stuff that isn't for anime nerds so that maybe people who are allergic to anime feel more comfortable (lol) about being there and vice versa. I'd post there.

IDK maybe combining everything into a wider general could work? At least it might look better on the home page that way instead of two separate subforums about technically similar mediums (though posts about anime games could be in this subforum too). But yeah personally I'd rather have things be separate. Audible sigh  Anyone else have thoughts to share? Forum discourse! |

My problem with these types of sub forums is they rarely foster any discussion and instead are full of fucking stupid Youtube clips no one watches.

Well, after all this is a subforum mainly about watching things and I want to help share the wealth of groovy anime goodies. Would you like to discuss anime with me? I'll go ahead and start two threads that aren't just about determining the best girl in a series... one with just a YouTube video and one with an incentive towards discussion.

My problem with these types of sub forums is they rarely foster any discussion and instead are full of fucking stupid Youtube clips no one watches. Yea, this is a big problem. I wonder if disabling video embedding might mitigate it. Of course people will still be able to link videos but I think they will start writing more to make their posts look better (whereas with the current system you can just embed a bunch of videos with fancy thumbnails and hog the whole screen with basically zero input of your own). |

tbh cuppy having a forum (almost) all to himself is cool, if there's going to be a movies forum it should be separate
I do like memfis' idea though, forums should be for things you can read

I also think anime could stay in its own forum since it's such a divisive thing that many people just don't want to (or can't) get into.

Thanks for the feedback, my friends. I'll leave this subforum as is.
