regarding today's anime episode

[Jimihendrix]

This part right here in the bold. It makes me wonder what kinda thinking people like you have here. When you join a community like this one, are you there to harm it or make it better? Do you as a member feel satisfied with yourself on how much you contribute to this community? I'd like to know your answer before I say anything further.

let me ask you this: if i were to make a thread praising today's anime, what kind of responses would I have been met with? "Yeah, I agree," or "No, this could've been better," or some other bland response? What kind of conversational engagement is that? Do I feel engaged with those who respond on said thread with their few words? Or is it more satisfying (at a conversational level) to elicit a response from your thread readers where you can continually engage in argumant or whatever it is you wish to engage in?

a few joke threads are neither harmful nor beneficial; this community we're a part of is here for the sole reason that we all have at least one common like: the Naruto manga. To engage in conversation is the purpose of this base. And as of late every other thread discusses the same things over and over again--Kakashi vs Sasuke, Kakashi vs Naruto, Kaguya vs Madara, etc. It's the same theories over and over again. Isn't me mixing it up a bit like this a breath of fresh air? Isn't what I'm doing evolving the base from the linear path its been on to something a little more sociable?

"Do you as a member feel satisfied with yourself on how much you contribute to this community?"
compared to all the other threads that follow the same theme in light of shippuden's encroaching death? Yeah, I think I am contributing something a little refreshing to this base, and I do feel a bit satisfied

EDIT: however, you looking down on me does make me feel somewhat ashamed. Yes, trolling is a very passive aggressive way of eliciting conversation, but hey, at least we're talking now.

I look at what I'm doing as something shy of preserving this community we come to. This base will surely meet its doom unless it changes its focus from the same threads over and over again, and mutates into something more of a chatroom, where everyone on the base is still sharing at least one thing in common. But who knows, with the advancement of this community, maybe more will find other things to have in common with the other members

how long can sharing one common interest--naruto--keep this base alive?

I never said that your thread needed to be all praises for this episode or chapter. I just feel if you are gonna state the bad than state the good to. Having just one view over the other makes you feel desprete and by the way this thread was just for you to troll. As you said yourself, you are at a beach with no one there to strike a convo with.

I would also like to add there is no way that you will get all praises if you just talked about the good. Someone or something here will always disagree with you, that is why your thinking of saying bad things to get responses is flawed.

This is not refreshing at all. In fact I could call this just another hate thread or troll thread we see day in, day out. You need to realize something that by hating it for the sake of hating won't promote this manga at all. Having a balanced view with good and bad's is in my opinion the best way to express yourself. If you don't read this manga or dislike this manga than this place is not for you. Yes you have freedom of expressing yourself in every way but in more of a professional form rather than a all blazing hate. Nothing is perfect so people should just stop expecting it to be perfect.

No you are not contributing something different. If you were, you would get some better responses. I am no mod or admin I am just a member just like you. I could possibly do the same thing you are doing but I don't because I honestly love this community very much. I think you should first find the answer of why you come here before moving any further ahead. As members the mods and admins here give us our freedom to act independently and I really like that. We should not misuse this freedom for trolling purposes. I hope you don't either.

sorry, the beach started to get busy.

I do read the manga and I do love the mnaga. It's my favorite manga. And I'm on this base because I like to talk to other people about my love for Naruto. I'm just not fond of what the anime's become.

I definitely understand where you're coming from and I understand your points
