 Is This Place Still Alive?!?

[cranston (#84421)]

Sad to say, this place is on its last gasp.
There are maybe 5 guys posting left.
Including Wolf who still takes the time to create new database entries when I ask for it.

[Drake (#126461)]

Damn...thats really sad man. I mean, I grew up on this forum, been through a lot here. I hope that I get to see it on its last day.

[[AN]Wölf_Brother (#5002)]

Tis a damn shame! I have a couple of anime communities that I've been with for a considerable amount of time that have dwindled to almost nothing and it's a sad state of affairs but that's life on the internet for you!

[heprea (#51849)]

yeah, its always sad when active forums become ghost towns :\

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

Holidays don't help either.

[Mike (#43833)]

Sounds like a lot of boo hoo hoos. Haha, get out there and advertise or something.

I'm not in sync with all the internet trends, but perhaps the 'posting in forums' era is heading on it's way out now. Who knows? At the very least I've made some really good friends on here that I am still in touch with and if I ever get a chance to meet them if I'm in there part of the world, then I know I'll try!

there is really not much going around here, not even a happy new year!.. so happy new year ppl =)
man, there is really a huge difference between now and then.. it s actually quite kind of shocking thinking that it was 7 or 8 years ago since i joined here.. time just flies

so where did all the ppl go? ken, cadd, shireen, rose and so on.. i come lurking from time to time but i m not that up to date

[Drake (#126461)]

Oh trust me jazzjack, I remember when you got here, I've been through a lot here, getting banned for trolling TWICE, gotten notoriety and possibly hatred as well, but I miss all the fun and excitement of this place.

[cranston (#84421)]

[CyBeR (#47560)]

Belated...extremely belated...but Happy New Year folks.
Nfo has always been my most fondly remembered forum and community...glad to see some of the old faces are still around.

[[AN]Wölf_Brother (#5002)]

CyBeR, not late at all. Just in time for Chinese New Year. Happy year of the Dragon everyone!

[heprea (#51849)]

might as well join in... happy year of the dragon~

[Stick (#5576)]

[Backstabber (#95851)]

Sup guys. I'm back.

[cranston (#84421)]

[CyBeR (#47560)]

Where is everyone?
Seriously, when did the community fall apart in the end?
Do people still keep in touch via email or social networks? If so, I would be very happy if someone could offer a few contact options (via PM), I'd really like to know how everyone is.

[cranston (#84421)]

No idea where everyone went off to.
Maybe people were no longer interested in anime and just stopped coming.
At the same time, there isn't any new blood.

[Drake (#126461)]

I'd make mine widely known to the forum if any of you wanna keep in touch with me, my name is Jamarr Stokes look me up on the book of Face if you'd like. (Oh god I just realized that if you had the Death Note right now....I'd die.XD)

[heprea (#51849)]

Real life.
Facebook.
Instant chat(mirc,msn and what else there are).

I guess these 3 are the prime suspects.

*edit*

And well... there are more sites that offer information over anime, naturaly they all have their own forums and "unique" flashy stuffs that makes them "better" than the rest.

[nauXolo (#69311)]

been about three years since I last posted something here. it's kind of sad that this forum has all but died... had some good times here. I really miss watching anime, and all I have time for now is occasionally reading manga (one piece/bleach/naruto/HnI) online. Pretty much "real" life took over and that's probably where a lot of people went. Kind of hard to go on anime marathons when you only have a couple of hours of free time a day.

[Stick (#5576)]

[Veleon (#124559)]

Yeah, people just move on. I randomly post every once in awhile but there isn't much to talk about really. Mostly I've been doing school and real life stuff.

Admittedly it would help if supers was more involved

[cranston (#84421)]

haven't seen him around in like forever.

[Drake (#126461)]

Veleon, I miss the chats you, Brandino, and Shinka had, those were great times always.

[Uthon (#358729)]

Well, make it 6 people that are posting now. I'm trying to get involved, since the two people I've met so far are very nice and have a vast wealth of knowledge I look forward to chipping away at. Pleasure to make all of your acquaintances.

[Veleon (#124559)]

For what it is worth I'm actually on skype all the time if people ever wanted to talk

veleon17 is my skype name

[Kaj (#32327)]

I'm still around, though I mostly lurk around on the main site and I've never really been a big poster on the forums. The problem is most other similar sites like MAL now have a feature rich anime list based approach while animenfo's anime list function is still primitive, and the site hasn't introduced any major new features for 5+ years. And as it no longer has the thriving community it used to, there's nothing here to attract new users. So it's not surprsing we're at where we are now - old users have moved elsewhere or even grown out of anime, and we're not getting any new blood.

I've actually signed up to other sites too but I still hang around for old times sake. It makes me really sad to see the site in this current state :'(

[cranston (#84421)]

^It's unfortunate that there's no one around to do the programming to upgrade the site. Still, it's awfully nice of supers (I think) to continue footing the bill for the site.

What are the inhabitants of MAL like?

[Kaj (#32327)]

It's like facebook - almost everyone is on there, including all the lowest common denominators of anime fandom (MAL seems to have attracted more of these than any other site). Still, there's a constant buzz of activity, and even though I don't get directly involved with the community much, I do like just being around the buzz, if you know what I mean.

[cranston (#84421)]

Charn! How many years has it been? Still watching anime? Still playing the piano? Still playing anime OP/ED on piano?

[charn (#40191)]

I thought you would have already read the “People I Miss” thread. If not, my post should be the last post in this thread as of today (21 July 2012) if you follow this link:
http://www.animenfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14646&start=495

In fact, I better copy and paste what I wrote:

[Avalanche (#92065)]

Hello guys.. I am alive as well. Admittedly, not as much into anime (not that I have lost interest - its just that I am now aiming into a PhD and that keeps me busy). Still keep following Shonen Jump religiously though.

[Malaki (#40410)]

Is there a reason we don't have an AnimeNfo facebook page?
If anything, everyone is moving to that and (unfortunately) forgetting about forums.

[kioshi21 (#103340)]

upgrades on the database and probably some advertisements would also work.
