what about if we change it to an all round Anime forum, isntead of just basing it on DBZ?
Then you will have sections used, and others never used. That is also possible to overload.
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.
Making a whole slew of different animes to comment on only leads to the forum looking dead. It takes a while for the front page to filled with different animes, and from past experience of going to random anime forums they tend to have a lot of sections empty or dead.

If we were to shift to the subject just "anime / manga", wouldn't it be tedious to decide what forums there should be? We can't cover all of them, and members who have a favorite (and don't see that favorite) would most likely request that forum to be created.

Wouldn't that eventually overload, as stated before in previous posts?
Try this, you might like it.

I thought we could just have a forum for the like top 3 or 5 Manga/animes then have another section for every other one but sort them by alphabetical/genre/age rating/Shonen, Shoujo etc something like that.

This is just an Example of what I mean, these are just the first few manga/anime that came to my head:

Drangonball Series

Eyeshield 21

Shaman King

Naruto

Fairy Tail

Other Manga/Anime
(then the sub forums could be like # - C, D - G etc, or by Genre or whatever)
Or you could split up Other Manga and Other Anime and use the same sub forums.

I havent ever made a succesful forum, T_T haha, but it is just an Idea.

This reminds me of another forum I was at in terms of suggesting to change to a general anime/manga forum, though this was a yugioh forum.

Eitherway, a few issues where raised with the idea, one was how would it be layed out but another was compertition, there are plenty of anime/manga forums out there already, what would make us diffrent? I'm not oppose to the idea and the members here already like a range of animes.

The other question is, can you work out how to use the initials DBZF to be an anime forum, I mean for general chat as I say, DebateZ Forum would use them as DbZF, since the domain has about a year left and people know it.

You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold

The poll currently shows that "Keep it the same" is the most popular option, but then only 13 people have voted.

A point to be made about making DBZF a general manga/anime forum is that the "Other Anime" and "Other Manga" forums are generally not that active. Which doesn't promise much if we were to change to that subject.

Well, I am up for the change if anyone gives a ***** what my traitorous ***** thinks. I have yet to find a forum that felt so right as this one -- casual, yet organized, with Kyonko and a few other experienced internet dwellers to keep it in check.

However, though I did have the incentive, I've never really come back once I've left. Suppose things got too pointless and repetitive once I'd gotten to know everyone and realized I didn't wanna talk about Dragonball anymore while everything else felt kinda off-topic (even when it wasn't).

This is what i believe too. The Dragon ball series has been over with for a long time now, and we've discussed just about everything dragon ball related on this forum, so we need something new.

I say change. In my time spent on this forum I see myself visiting the same DBZGT related topics discussed more than once. Every so often we get some promising new members, yet every so often we also loose those members. Someone also mentioned they became bored with the repetitiveness of the DB chats. We also have a very strong following amongst a community therefore I believe they will stick with this forum regardless of what the decision relating to this poll will be.

This forum has been alive since 2004 right? I've always thought that the name of the domain is what brought this forum to it's success. "Dragonball Ball Z Forum", plain and simple. If someone is looking for a forum on Google and type "DBZ forum" or whatever chances are they'll get this site as their 1st, 2nd or 3rd link. As opposed to "Vegeta's Domain" "King Yemma's Forum" or "Peter's all you can chat about Dragonball" whatever, right? Changing the name of the domain to DebateZForum; I'm just curious as to how many visitors that name may attract. Or how the name will attract visitors.

After all I think this forum needs a change. DBZ is just not popular anymore enough to keep members, or should I say is not recent enough! Soon we're gonna have people signing up who were born after DBZ ended. That to me signals for a wind of change.

Hopefully an admin took this post seriously.

The Dragonball sections will still exist for a time during the transition anyway.

All posts are taken seriously Mc Esse.

Okay, It may have been to late for my vote to count in the poll but at least I gave you my input. I'll just restate this question.

It'll come up for community and debates as keywords, where it might not be near the top, it'll still be in the results but there are other ways of finding forums other than through a search engine. There is through other forums, though some people might not like the name Dragonball Z Forum, it might seem too specaliset, so DebateZ Forum isn't the same, there for they may look at it.

If this isn't a DBZ forum, I don't really care about coming here. But then again, winning yearly awards like "Forum Tyrant," and "Most Obnoxious Member" might just keep me around.

Haha. You know I love it.
