We are trailing some changes to the forum including the expansion of the anime section. We have set up sub forums for discussing popular anime series that are currently running, we hope this will allow some more in depth discussion on series now!

Take note that the name of the subforums will be changed to a more proper naming format later.

Is it possible to collapse the sub forums?

Oh noes... does that mean a concentration of Naruto* and Bleach* in separate forums now? LOL. (insert "beep" where * is marked)

Sounds like a bargain, ain't it. At least it won't spill over to other anime subforums...hopefully.

no, not implement yet.

oh dear, don't be harsh on words...

Well, I find it to be very useful compared to scrolling down pages to look for a single anime show, arigato.

This is a very useful new feature! Thank you! It will be much easier to find specific shows now. Perhaps somewhere in the sub forums you could link to the AP group that covers the series?

I like the new feature XD. Now I can concentrate on the Bleach topics ! As ~keainanhai mentioned, it'd be cool if it could be collapsed so that the forum page isn't so long >_<. Hope that gets implemented sometimes in the future!

Wat if the anime end? I mean it end in it's final episode? Wat will the forum become? (sigh...wish there will b tokyo majin gakuen kenpuchou tou section...) Ehem...btw, wat abt the mangapaper section? will it be expand too? (sorry for throw too many question at a time...)

The whole child subforum will be shifted to the Past Anime Series subforum once an anime has completed its run, that is what I believe.

I am expecting that only a limited number of series will be getting its own child subforum since you don't expect one child subforum for each anime series (and imagine how many anime series are coming out each year).

Anyway, this will be discussed among moderators at a later date once additional upgrades have been implemented.

Bantam, Dias, a small suggestion:

May it be possible to see also some expanded subforums for Video Game Pad? In example: Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Classics, Arcade, etc.

Thanks for the changes. Forums look more organized now ^^

After we trial this we will consider expanding other forums.

Can you guyz arrange an official One Piece Section,... pretty Pleeeeeaze...

You know, I don't wanna say this since I am supposed to be one of those who set an example to follow in this site.
But, now that we actually have subforums, for each and every anime (popular ones), isn't it a bit wasteful if we censor all the threads in there to be only contained in like one thread, namely the main discussion thread?

I was thinking this cause most forums as I know, embrace this sort of sorting only if, say there are huge demands for discussing different aspects of said anime, that includes:
- versus threads (some ichigo owns your a** .com)
- power level threads (as comparison between which character is most powerful, not versus) (no Ichigo owns your a** .com here)
- discussing favorites
- discussing what you could do if you had their powers thread.
- discussing what you like best threads (not the favorite characters, but the animation, the cast etc.)

now an example:
http://forums.bleachportal.net/index.php
http://forums.bleachportal.net/forumdisplay.php?f=11


now if you see in these links, the subforums are organized for different anime, and inside each and every one, there are a gazillion threads on which to discuss, which really is what keeps the action alive, I mean, surely it would be better to discuss this way, so that it is more lively and much more fun.

- On the subject of Versus threads.

since they are not allowed as per FAQ, I find it a bit sad since now we have this forum function, so why not?
I am sure this can be negotiated, lest we can bring some life back into the discussions and AP forums. Of course, it is not like it is necessary.

- On the subject of Favorite threads.
Now lets face it, which anime fan does not like discussing the favorites of their show? instead of cramming it all into one main discussion thread, why not lets use the function of the subforum to its best of abilities?
