Changing Main Forum Subject?

This forum is banking on an anime revamp. An addition if you will to the sagas that are currently out. Akira Toriyama doesn't seem to be doing anything except Jiya right now. (Of which is a mini-series and is Manga only) And that's who we really pay tribute to by discussing his work over and over again on this forum. He is 55 years old, and is probably losing interest in making anything new, rather than just retiring an old happy Japanese man. We can forget about Toriyama-San ever continuing Dragonball, and if anyone takes on the challenge will fail miserably like 20th Century Fox.

Random new people who trickle in here seem to be, as a great person once put it, "Children high on sugar looking to discuss finite details of an imperfect work." Once they lay out their lives greatest work by successfully posting power-levels through out the Dragonball Universe, their mission is complete in which they either stay, or bounce to another forum to do the same thing.

On one hand, converting the forum over to a general discussion area will activate thread revenue. But can't I just go somewhere else to accomplish the same thing? When I used to tell people that I was the admin of a successful DBZ forum, and I meant every word when I said it, I was ridiculed for enjoying such a ridiculous endeavor. But then the criticizing party suddenly realizes how successful DBZ really was back in 1996. Which might I add is an older anime than the ages of some of our current members. But jokes aside, I suggest letting this place die as it is, rather than masking it as something it was not.

And btw, I'm going to PM YHG20 to demod you for even suggesting such a thing Kyonko.

I agree that the dragonball theme is starting to get old. As much as I like dragonball, it seems not to keep members around for whatever reason. Yes, there is a general discussion forum, but it isn't the main focus. People get bored and move onto other forums because it isn't the main concept. We should change it to an overall theme like anime in general or a general discussion forum or even advertise the graphics area. We have a lot of tools that can help us out with re-changing the forums' outlook and things like that. Well that's my opinion on the matter.

I don't think letting it die would be the best option, infact, it's possibly the worst, we have a lot of people here who contribute to the forum and want to stay on the forum for as long as they can. I don't see what's wrong with remasking, it's about adapting to a changing audiance.

I don't have time to do a massive post like I would like too, but I will at some stage (*shakes fist at chemistry*)

For now if you do want to remask it will this include a name change? A skin change? What would you plan to do exactly?

Name change would possibly be around the DBZF initials, my first thought was DebateZ Forum DbZF see, lol.

Skin and banner would change yes.

I also think a change would be nice but like in kotetsu's post by becoming a more general forum we'll be just like many other forums and therefor need something special to make us different. Whatever that something special is it shouldn't be dragon ball z. On this forum we've basically discussed everything possible about dragon ball z.

If we focus a little more on things that are popular as well as having multiple other topics to discuss, i think our chance of keeping members would be greater.

The problem with that is it will leave us with a lot of forums on the main page, overloading a visiter.

Then you will have sections used, and others never used. That is also possible to overload.

Shrink the dragonball section a bit and expand other sections, and it could still remain a DBZF forum, something like a compromise

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

But I think the problem Kyonko was explaining is that Dragonball Z is becoming less popular, shown by the diminishing numbers in the Google search charts, and that if we keep the forum as it is we won't be attracting very many new members.
Plus, because we've discussed DBZ to death here the new members are limited in what they can discuss. The older members don't really join in because they've done it all before, and this sort of creates a rift.

I'm definately for a subject change, but not sure on what we could change it to that wouldn't be too vast yet would attract a substantial amount of members.

What ones what be unused? Also if we did this we could switch all the Dragonball sections to other Animes as well, Then we could get rid of the 'Other Anime' and 'Other Manga' forums which would make more room for the general/community stuff.

I think we need to specialize in a certain anime or select few or other wise we'll just become like the many other all around anime forums and they're won't be any reason to join this forum.

It wouldnt be DBZF anymore, if the subjects changed. So why not just extend onto it, do a whole new version upgrade.
