Oh yes hot springs was the place to hang out.

There is a need because the Naruto series is ending and half the members here either hate Naruto or don't watch it any longer. Nobody will force you to post in the One Piece or Bleach sections if you don't watch those series as a Naruto section will exist for anyone who likes that series instead.

That's the only part I'm iffy about, because that section and the threads in there are pretty popular and fun, other than that I don't really care.

Yeah, clearing that section doesn't sound very nice.

I'm also against clearing out that section. The Hot Springs specifically is nostalgic for me too.

It seems that the Chats/Clubs/Families section has a nostalgia feeling to it, so if you don't want it cleared out, that's fine by me. However, when I meant about "clearing it out", I was meaning about moving threads that suited Off Topic better than the Chats/Clubs/Families, as I can see about 2 threads already that don't belong in there (and no, it isn't the Hot Springs ) and clearing out did not mean "deleting threads" since I think many of you assumed that is what I meant

Are we gonna get Avatars from Bleach and OP?

[Black King]

^That'll take time if it ever does happen. Just like how we still haven't gotten new Naruto ones for a long time. They're working on getting miscellaneous avatars.
Naruto321 is keeping a list of suggestions here: http://naruto.viz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119176

[HokageSoulReaper]

Speaking of Clubs, some are made for TV series and bands/music artists, those FC that aren't eliminated will be moved to Entertainment, right?

Now, since the post count system won't be changed much but might be added other titles from other Viz manga/animes, the Bleach ones, what about Substitute Soul Reaper, Soul Reaper, ''X number'' seat of ''X'' Squad, ''X'' Squad Captain, just throwing those to see which ones get picked

[Naruto Namikazi]

Well... The whole Avatar thingy is nice and all... But it would be great of you could increase the resolution a bit, i mean this avies are pretty small. Making them bigger would be great.

I know it will take some time to do these, let alone make a whole new collection of avies, but if it's ever going to be done, then please increase the avatar size


A new addition i just recalled would be great! When someone posts something they have to edit their post in order to put something in that post again... Why not make it this way, rather than having everyone keep clicking on the edit button (which sometimes takes a hell of a long time to actually enter the editting part) just make it that if he posts once again, it just adds it to the post rather than double posting (which happens at the moment).

I know i might not have explained this correctly but let me try to say it this way

Right now, this is what happens:


1.) Post > Edit in order to add something you forgot
Post> Post again = Double post (which you of course dont want)

My suggestion:

2.) Post> Post = edit right under the current post. I would put this to work if the same post remains for 3 min, after that any post made will be a double post.

This is just to make things more user friendly

Now on some other matter i noticed... I can see the Archives section at the bottom of the forum, i couldnt see it before, so maybe you want to check in on the permisions unless you gave it intentionally


The Ninja training grounds is actually too big (talking about the Naruto games section). It has WAY too many sub sections, why not use prefixes? Each game has its own thread with a prefix for normal discussions and those general discussions for each game a stickied. Any other thread about one of the games can be used through Prefix. Cause these sections arent really boasting with activity for them to have a section of their own for each game, i mean the last post was already over 15 days from now. So thats something else i noticed.

Hope i helped... Will post more later

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

This is Naruto centered, you can't just make it in general for all the Viz related animes, it just doesn't work well.

[WishfulFairie]

I believe there will be a section for naruto...it's not like they're getting rid of it completely just making it more diverse.

[Naruto321]

Anything viz related will still be here. Just need a change here.

I dont see why we cant make a change

We're not deleting the whole forums here. The forums are staying as they are, but being changed so the forum covers other animes.

I really dont get what you guys are afraid of or dont like... Nothing is going to happen that will affect you, they are just adding a new space for other famous Anime/Mangas so others can enjoy being on a good forum... You don't lose anything and other new people get to also enjoy a good forum experience that you are having.

I really dont know or see why you dont like the idea... If you dont like the other Anime/Manga it wont affect you anyways, you can just ignore those sections, and you can do everything else just like you used to do, if you dont like those other sections all it takes is to make your eye shift to another place, i dont think shifting your eye takes much effort...

[Sajuuk]

Thanks for all your suggestions! It's provided some useful suggestions to the higher ups and we have a better idea of what you guys need.

Another thread will be opened at an undisclosed time later in the year. Many thanks
