*sigh* I know I've already agreed to this change, but I've been thinking and I think I have to agree with Brian here: Look, without the appeal of DBZ this community would never have took off. We get loads of new members, and many, the majority even, leave rather soon into their membership. However, the minority are the ones that remain here. They join the community and become one with our lovely little circle of love. But if we tailor the forum to suit the needs of those that stay for the community then we risk, and it's a high risk, losing the appeal that brings people here in the first place. The forum works as it is. It might be getting a bit boring in some areas, and it might have areas that seem outdated, or in fact totally inactive. But the formula works; we reel 'em in with DBZ (which a large percentage of even our valued communiy members are still interested in), then some leave. But in all likeliness we're probably gaining more active members as we are than we will as a community forum, a type of site that we'll be inexperienced in. And we'll have strong compeition that has been around longer than us in that category. I'm not a fan of DBZ. I have no reason to argue against a change that I actually wouldn't mind other than this: I don't think it's a good move for us to take. Streamline the site, edit it, etc etc, but don't accidentally cut off its life supply. |

You do have a valid point, Sousen. However, why go with non-change now? I recall Kyonko saying the DBZ sections will be left alone until they get un-popular. For a while, it'll be like we never switched. People can still talk DBZ. :O |

I have a question. What about the "more Dragonball related" votes? I voted there, but I can clearly see that's not a viable option. There are more votes suggesting the forum should be Dragonball related than not. |

Dragonball is appeling to a smaller and smaller group of people, I could pull up post stats if you like. If it just stays as a Dragonball forum, it's going to fade out slowly. Like I said, the Dragonball sections will stay around for a while, so people can still talk about it. A lot of people join to ask one or two questions, then they leave, we need members who will stick around, it means we could have verious compertitions and do more. |

Yeah Brian, you're right. Many people did join because they were fans of DBZGT. Maybe they were DBZGT fans four years ago! Which reminds me that a all of the active users who signed up between 2004-2007 rarley if ever go into the DB sections. Then you have more recent members who are getting bored of DBZGT. I think DBZGT is a dying trend, and that by the time the forum changed theme you'll probably be bored of DBZGT as well. I mean, let me ask; how many times can you debate about who would have won between Cell and Gohan if Goku hadn't shown up? |

Brian, look. I love DBZ. I really do. This IS risking a lot, but, I am not going to give this forum much longer either way to live if we keep it the way it is. The DBZ sections have sharply declined in activity in recent years, and the forum has taken a bit of a dive. I'm willing to risk a 50/50 shot of a grand survival and thriving community, or imminent death. We will lose our spot as #1 on Google when one types in "Dragonball Z Forum" and we will lose a lot of traffic. We will have to make that up elsewhere, but, the fact is, people aren't joining. We get hundreds of guests and very little activity. Just browsing people. It sucks, frankly. Maybe we should keep the forums' name as Dragonball Z Forum to trick people into coming, but, show once they come into the site that we've shifted a bit into a community forum. They can get their DBZ information in the still-remaining sections, and can choose to join for other reasons. Best of both worlds. |

Who's going to join a forum called Dragonball Z Forum if they are looking of general discussion? |

And how are we going to promote a general discussion board... there is so many of them. There's no way to entice anyone to come. |

It's easier to advertise a general board though, more people will check it out if you advertise it on sites than a Dragonball forum. |

Theres going to be some good advertising to be done if the switch is to be made. The problem as to why Dragonball Section is getting less popular is not because people stopped liking Dragonball. Me I still love DragonballZGT the problem is we are all getting older and we prefer to discuss other things anime thats more mature, music, sports, debates etc, we still enjoy Dragonball just dont really have the motivation to be talking about is as much, the community is getting older. I've been on this forum for almost four years already theres only so much I can talk about Dragonball unless a new dragonball movie comes out then I have a little reason to talk about something new but other than that, its going to end up being the same Edited by -Zero-, Jul 13 2010, 08:23 AM.

Well have they gone anywhere? Are they making death threats? Hey, here's a tip. Why don't you, and some of those people you're talking about, go make your OWN forum. Where you guys can all get together and do whatever it must be that you can't do here for some reason. And nobody answered my question. This is a poll, is it not? The poll is there to determine what happens, right? Or is there a loophole I'm missing? Edited by Dark, Jul 14 2010, 03:00 AM.

I speak for myself when I say this. It's to much work for myself to handle. I enjoy this community under the command and organization of this parliament and this moderating team. I rarely see you in the DBZGT section because I only go in limited topics at limited times. Although I usually do see you in the general discussion topics, and you are a very lucrative poster. I don't see what your problem with removing the Dragonall out of 'DBZ Forums', so much as having a general community forum. |

So most of you, as well as myself, probably found this forum by typing in Dragonball Z Forum. I guess everyone else that finds it from now on will do so by searching "Community Forum." |

For sure. or maybe people who type "General Forum" or "Talk About Anything Forum". Whatever the tags may be I assume. |
