There are not many active members in RP either. Sometimes people wonder whether there are more staff members than active RPers. People post things like " Role-play going down hill?", RP is dead" for 3+ years by now. It's not like there are that many new people joining or rping. Why do we need that huge set up for something dead? So merging whole RP in the same section in one big sub forum is good idea too.

Besides, it's too cumbersome and actually frightens new comers with it's hefty size which makes everything look so complicated. If it didn't look that hefty some more people may be interested. People don't even realize that non Naruto RP is available or can get in to other kind of RP. We should definitely start with there.

It's large size also pushes MAC base further down the screen and many visitors probably think we don't even have things related with it. So why not reorganize and reduce the size of that section? It's not a question.

Look here- I don't really want to be rude here. We do appreciate suggestions- even the ones already made or being worked upon already. For it validates admins own decision some more. But being so pushy when you haven't thought things through is a turn off. You ask why I'm ignoring your comment about illegal content. You said "illegal content reduces popularity" and at the same time naming other sites with illegal content which makes them popular. :|

One day people here demand for new sections from NB for their favourite series, next month they want NB to merge it all. It's like forget making everyone happy, you cannot satisfy even few of them when they are unable to make up their own mind. This kind of circus doesn't increase activity. More people visiting and noticing something to interest them does. And admins do have that in mind.

PS: Those small fonts further reduce visibility of your text.
Okay so... you've never roleplayed have you? We NEED those folders.. you can't say ''oh its dead why not just **** the whole system up for convenience'' thats not what a good moderator would say in my opinion. There is no possible way to decrease the size of the roleplay. Organize it to make it look a bit more clean and navigator friendly? That i agree with but saying we should do the same idea i presented to the roleplay section isn't smart, you'd be deleting viable information. And yes, it suppose to be big... its a roleplay section... Its not some discussions tab with ''dont spam'' with the only rule presented. The roleplay has so much rules, i'm legit still learning things and i've been here since 2015. Thats just something you have to deal with joining into the roleplay, constantly having to learn things.

Yes, i've thought things through... I've been through this political rollercoaster for years now, you've even personally messaged me before about suggestions like these so please don't come at me like i'm some random member that has no idea what i'm talking about.

I'm not being pushy.. just trying to get you to see that we got 100 people viewing one sub-forum and we got 2 or 1 or even zero people viewing the others so why not merge them? Just make tags for the reduced sub-forum counts.

According to your last paragraph, then this method would help with that. Just make a ''all anime besides naruto'' sub-forum under the mac base tab, dont just add it, remove everything else.

Also, kissanime is already known legit worldwide.... we arent.. go up to any anime fan and ask them about kissanime they'll immediately know what you're talking about.. the difference here is that we aren't like that. Crunchyroll isn't illegal, its legit another funimation which is under strict legal contracts and laws thus allowing them to publish anime and the sort. We aren't well known like these websites, but we could be if we just remove the illegal content and get our name published on the search engines...

You don't even get it, do you? I may not RP but I know full well how and why these section came to be. It's still the fattest section. I never suggested deleting anything but it can certainly be moved down or viewed differently long with adding tabs for it on top to keep it easy to find. What's more I was not being literal. But same is true for other sections.

Sure some section can be let go or reorganize but we did re-organize the just recently on members demand. Within three months you demand we remove them all. What's this? I even linked you the thread and clearly stated it's up to admins.

Yes, i've thought things through... I've been through this political rollercoaster for years now, you've even personally messaged me before about suggestions like these so please don't come at me like i'm some random member that has no idea what i'm talking about.

Yes you have made suggestions before. I didn't exactly ask for your suggestions. You were making them in thread, which was getting spammed and flamed so I simply forwarded them to admins for you. Out of politeness politeness I refrained from telling what I personally thought of your ideas but it seems you got the wrong idea here:

Back then, you suggested switching the staff cycle just to attract people. That kind of thing may work for the RP you linked, I don't think the idea works for our RP. It's chaotic that way and mod position is not a candy to be used like that. Go and ask LOK and others their opinion if you wish. And your idea that V to ask suggestions how to make his site successful from another site admins whose site is not exactly more active than this one either, nor knows them personally, is impractical. You don't go to complete strangers for advice like that.

I'm not being pushy.. just trying to get you to see that we got 100 people viewing one sub-forum and we got 2 or 1 or even zero people viewing the others so why not merge them? Just make tags for the reduced sub-forum counts.
The visitors those sections invite funds that RP. Yes you are pushy.

According to your last paragraph, then this method would help with that. Just make a ''all anime besides naruto'' sub-forum under the mac base tab, dont just add it, remove everything else.
We want to invite more people with more diverse taste instead of only keeping RP. Your idea is basically that we merge all Naruto sections in one and makes one for all other animes and just keep the RP sections as it is. RP is an important segment of NB but it's not just an RP forum. And for now at least we want to keep it for all manga/anime lovers.

Why would we remove something like One piece section when it's been there as long as out Naruto boards and one of the most popular manga and most visited board after Naruto here? Same for other sections. We are trying to attract more users for them and you are suggesting to kill everything but RP.

Also, kissanime is already known legit worldwide.... we arent.. go up to any anime fan and ask them about kissanime they'll immediately know what you're talking about.. the difference here is that we aren't like that. Crunchyroll isn't illegal, its legit another funimation which is under strict legal contracts and laws thus allowing them to publish anime and the sort.

Kissanime is an illegal site popular for it's illegal content. NB may go legit with time in future but the way you are suggesting it to do, without any back up plan, we may well take it offline and say quits. I suggest you relax and let admins decide how they wish to do things. For it's clear you don't notice the changes that have been ongoing on the forums in the year that ended alone.

I'm not suggesting to simply delete those sections... i'm saying merge them in a way where the dead threads can get more activity... No ones saying deleting everything but the rp... i feel like you're just throwing the rp section in my face solely because i'm part of it.. the whole original topic wasn't even remotely about the rp... Anyways, something tells me you're reading into my responses wrongfully. I'm merely suggesting to, for example, make the MAC section into one full combined section, without all these folders and sub-forums and stuff like that just make it into a singular sub-forum under one tab called ''all anime'' then because were a naruto website have the naruto discussions separate.

I'm not doubting the skills and work of the staff.. no clue why you're throwing that in my face but its false, i rather respect the staff as a whole and thats why i act the way i do sometimes. Worrying about the political side of the forum is just another way of saying i care about the health of the forum the same way as the staff does...

And I'm telling you that it dosn't work like that. Dead threads don't get suddenly active because you merge forums. Your suggestions amounts to killing it.

I didn't say anything about disrespecting anyone but your suggestion only. You asked to switch staff regularly. I still have you suggestion PM saved. I can post if you wish. Don't turn in to something else.

Its 2018, Yes it would be nice for everything too look well placed.

But its better to have the sections of anime the way it is. People in any genre is gonna troll, or mess up we always can't control every little thing a person does.
