This also wasn't a decision made by Dragon Ball himself, this was the general consensus of the staff, who have been around AnimeOnline a lot longer then you (I myself have been here a little over 5 years), have seen things tried and watched them fail, so this REALLY is the best thing for AO.
Its a general misconception on the internet that every site that can be publicly accessed must mean that its a public site, and as such, people can do what they like on it. That is very very far from the truth. AnimeOnline is a privately owned and operated website that the owner has decided to let the public used. DB could have just as easily made it a subscriber only site where you have to pay for it, but he didn't do that.
You should be thankful for what you have. |
I don't really think that my clan were distracted from the forums. Instead we posted in the other sections while waiting for someone to reply. Although my clan was fairly new, we got to know each other really well and hopefully that won't be lost.
I think personally the clans just needed guidance to work and help out with the forum by setting tasks that involved the other sections of the forum. That would help activity and not loose the number of posts on the forum. Just my personal idea.
But whats going to happen is going to happen, It won't be a total lose if members of clans still keep in contact.
