#5. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya thread never dying. Ok not actually daily but this thread is just massive and never ending. It has probably broken several ANN records in its rise to fame.

#4. A new spambot post. Yes, a spambot seems to come up everyday and with its remote control brain just to annoy the entire board.

#3. A recommendation thread. People don't seem to get the rules and create a new thread asking for a magical girl, shounen, rommance, drama, mecha, comedy anime or the such.

#2. A new topic by viga_of_stars. Yep, not meant to hate or anything but a new topic seems to pop up everyday asking a new question or for an opinion.

#1. A topic being locked by Tony K. Stopping stupidity from running rampant on the ANN boards is Tony's underappreciated job here and where he has accumulated so many posts.


I'm doing this out of boredom and just through simple observation of these boards and felt like I wanted to share them.

Actually, a lot of my posts came from just being a regular. I was really talkative, obnoxious, and full of crap back when I first started here... But leave it to me to bring those people back down should they start poppping up.



EDIT: Gatotsu Ishiki = deleting Battousai post underneath me.

5. People posting huge images and other people complaining about how much huge images screw up their dial-up ANN viewing experience.

4. Going through all the new threads of the day and seeing Animefreak6969 having posted *somewhere* in there...

3. "ZOMG HELPP MEH FIND THE NAME OF TIHS ANIMAY I DONT NOE HOW 2 REED I CANT SEE THE STIKY ON TOP"

2. People making threads on specific series asking a specific question and of course ignoring the sticky even though it's right there in plain eyesight I even had to change it's title to make it more flashy and whatnot but noooo people don't see it and make a new thread on an old series asking some old question which already has been discussed to death before in some old and long thread and if they LOOK through the threads sorted under whatever title they could find EXACTLY what they're looking for but nooooo they have to make new threads and new threads which clutter the page not so much the higher quality ones or a question not addressed before but some people need to READ before they make a one-liner series discussion thread and yeah

In other words, the view count for the All Discussions sticky going up by no more than 5 each day. Crying or Very sad

1. Blue on white on gray with Jadress on the top left corner and a Naruto poster under it. Cool

Thats odd I never came across this thread before. Mind you until recently I didn't use the forms that much.

I noticed that too over my short time browsing the forums that these pop up every day. The recommendation thread usually locked and the spambot post deleted.

Things that I've noticed include:
1. the weekly kitten/bunny picture in the answerman column. Gotta love the Kitten pictures.
2. Seemingly endless topics with a large quantity being old and pretty much shelved. Every once and a while someone revives one and most of the time it gets locked.
3. New articles daily. Suppose thats to be expected of a New network.
4. New reviews daily. Always nice to read in any spare time.
5. Tony K's love for the Scarface Movie. I don't see the connection, but thats probably because I've yet to see the Scarface movie.

1. Tony locking a thread I can definetly count.
2. Spambots posting all sorts of stuff, and it's very annoying, whether it's stuff for poker, drugs, porn, real estate, etc. etc. etc.
3. A newbie introducing themself in the forum, be in or out of the sticky.
4. People asking for downloads. That's where they don't take the time to look at the rules. We're an anime site, but don't give out downloads. Some people can't get that through their skulls.
5. aya_honda and I talking back to each other saying all sorts of things about Fruits Basket in the manga forum. And I don't mean once a day, I mean WE TALK. Endlessly. Smile

3. Some thing new concerning my evil character contest.

4. I agree with people with this one, Viga_of_stars and Animefrea6969 are all over the forums

5. The convention forum doesn't ever change.

Or on bad days, you can see 5 or 6. I think it was yesterday, we had at least 5 spambot topics in about as many hours.

I can't name 5 unique ones, but one is "Someone makes an incorrect assumption about a poster's gender from their avatar." FYI, PantsGoblin =/= female. (Same goes for me, even though I had the Nanaka avatar for quite awhile.)

Also, New Review Posted & reply thread.

And the Events forum does change once in awhile, though more often in summer when the main convention season is ongoing.

I like looking forward to the less frequent events, like AnswerMan, Shelf Life, the Spring/Fall Anime Preview Guides, and the Best Of... year-end wrap-up.

#1-4: Zac is angry at fans/forum members for some reason.

#5: People arguing about something that really doesn't matter, but they have to prove their point somehow.

Very Happy

How could you guys forget about my changing avatars in a short period of time? Wink You must've missed when I went through the entire Marvel vs. Capcom 2, SOul Calibur 2 and Street Fighter characters. Not to mention I'm doing NFL teams right now.

Another thing I see daily would be something either adding an error report into the encyclopedia forum or asking why an anime/manga isn't in the encyclopedia itself.

1. Zac is curt and kinda angry

2. JoshuaStChristopher says Zac is curt and kind of angry

3. Viga of Stars makes another thread basically saying "BEING AN ANIME FAN IS PRETTY AWESOME please PAY ATTENTION TO ME"

4. Certian forum posters attempt to wax philosophical and make themselves sound smart but don't realise quoting obscure literature and intersecting their english with various foreign words doesn't make you smart, it just makes you a pretencious knob.

5. HULK SMASH
