The TumbleDry incident is no longer an issue, and has never been an issue since the staff shuffle. Over the past few months, dramas here have been very quiet.

I do not want the site to go to hell. I am trying this new avenue with Anime Friends. In business, nothing is a certainty. Without trying new things, then we would slip behind and this site would become boring. The beauty of Anime Friends is that it in no way affects the functioning of the main boards. As mentioned in an earlier post, it is purely optional if members would like to join. I suggest we give things a fair run before throwing dirt onto it.

You mentioned the same when vbPlaza was removed, yet I still don't see AO going down. Members are here because of the community, SOTW, anime chat, gallery and so on. Anime Friends is on a sub-domain and does not remove any functionality from the main boards. You either visit Anime Friends or you don't. The choice is yours. Also Sinistra, did you not mention you wanted to use this service yourself when it was released??

Hence I have in my signature that if members are treated unfairly, then to PM me. Over the past months, only 2 issues have been PMd to me and this was dealt with swiftly. Mods are doing their best to provide a great community, and we should sometimes send them praise too, rather than just trying to bring them down. Once again, let me reiterate - if members feel they are treated unfairly, then please do PM me.

Well guys, drama is going to be everywhere... it is unavoidable.... (unfortunatelly). DB is right when he says: "Without trying new things, then we would slip behind and this site would become boring. The beauty of Anime Friends is that it in no way affects the functioning of the main boards." (DB's words).
Times change and new things have to take place. I am sure that if this doesn't work and starts to create trouble on AO forums, DB wouldn't doubt in closing it or doing something else.
Don't be all negative give it a try. Something good can come out of this.

You guys have a good one!!!!!

Yes, I would like to reinforce what lebasiara just said. If it proves fruitless, it will be removed.

Cheers.

I really hope (or don't hope) that one of you end up on this list of bad predictions.

This great!!! major Woot!! I like it alot..............

Hey, nice excerpts there Pyoro-Pyoro! I love it. Yeh, things really need to be given a chance to prove whether it is fruitless or not.

At the cost of drama being started though? There are things you can feel that would turn out badly and this are one of those things.Though I guess it's not going to change anything it will still be up for a while.
