If you could improve 1 thing on Kanzenshuu.

General discussion about Kanzenshuu, its content, features, contests, community, etc. This is NOT an off-topic forum!

A off topic forum would be nice, but I do like how this place is very relaxing without a off topic forum. I normally come here when I get away from crap on other forums. If we ever get a off topic forum, just ban politics and religion thread similar what they did on the old Spawn.com forums. We do have a chat room on IRC and Skype, I normally rarely go on them since I'm not a big fan of chat rooms.

After reading some of these posts I think I'll change my mind about an off-topic forum, it's not needed. But I wouldn't be angry if we got one. :thumbup:

I would like a prefer or not prefer off topic thread. Like do you prefer anime/animation to comics/manga. Or least some basic conversations like

Best Day ever
Advice Thread
Favorite Food, drink, Meal, or snack.

No offense to Kanzenshuu. But sometimes DB debates being the only MAIN thing on the website besides news is weird to me. But I'm glad that it's not like most forums. Even though this is still only my 2nd favorite forum.

If people want an off-topic section, someone could always just make a separate forum altogether on something like ProBoards and members here can sign up using their Kanzenshuu usernames. I know it's not the same, but it could still work.

We could talk here: http://z13.invisionfree.com/Dragon_Ball ... hp?act=idx. It's a fanfic website but it got other stuff to talk about like other anime(s, music, life,and roleplays.

But Proboards works fine to. But since this one is already set up. We could do this. Yea I would like that. So you guys can either just sigh up to the link I posted or should I make a Proboards ?

It's been done before. It died off because everyone realized they didn't actually want that.

Again. Experiments. Since 1998. All done. We already know :).

I have another proposal: Why can't we have a small section about Toriyama's other works, and Toriyama in general? Or at least, allow topics for them to be made in the General Discussion & In-Universe Threads, since I don't imagine lots of discussion going on in a section like that. I don't think these would hurt the forum, we could learn more things about Toriyama in general, and perhaps more Dragon Ball fans would give a shot to read some of Toriyama's other manga.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Why not have polls for threads for once?

Yeah, polls are definitely a good idea. They make it clearer if people like or dislike something

Toriyama's other works could use an "Official Toriyama's Other Works Thread", I don't think anyone would mind it in the General Franchise Discussion section.

Regarding polls... I can see the forum getting crowded with poll threads in no time, which ain't a good thing. We're here to have discussions of quality. Seeing the numbers without people's real input only works for things like favorite character/form/etc., so I'm against it. The only use for polls that I see is for voting purposes, in cases when it's all about numbers.

I've seen popular forums(Even more so than Kanzenshuu) benefit better with polls. Hell with polls it got MORE topics and MORE comments on topics. Poll topics would't even be used that often IMO.

I'm against polls too. They will crowd up everything.

You seem to fail to realize that Kanzenshuu is not about the quantity but quality. If you think the forums you're talking about are of as great or greater quality, feel free to share their URLs.

I should had included the debates got better as well. I thought it was implied since I compared it to Kanzenshuu.

Aside from a few minor things that have already been covered, the thing I'd like most is a one-time only username change.

I do wish BOG got its sub forum because it makes a lot easier then just read one big thread to look for something.

Being able to embed YouTube videos on the forum. I'm personally tired of having another tab popping up to see what video example someone posted.
