Oh brother. Exactly Animedude3. The only thing you do is go in the GD area. Why do people join a forum called Japan Forum? So they can meet friends and talk about their new latest daisy they grew? If so, then why join JF? Why not join a General forum where discussing that stuff is not taking away from the purpose of those who want to talk about Japan.
And the 9,000 posts in the adoptions thread...there was a thread like it before, and it got closed down cause of all the problems it caused. Take a look in the adoption thread. What do you see? Adoptions? Not many, just chatting.

YaksokuDa: Before you joined we had worse threads then yours. I am not complaining about your thread, seeing as it is in no way as bad as previous ones we have had. And if you are this upset about it to come defend yourself agaist my 'attack', then I must have hit close to home about something. I don't beat around the bush, if I did not like your posts, I would have said something. Your thread is not hurting or bothering me in anyway. It's when we get 100 threads like that, good members get irate about all the spam and such, which causes them to leave.

Yggdrazzil: I was talking about threads like: 'hay luk ppl i hve a rock in my shu an it hurtz!' Really, that is not very informative. The point I am trying to make is that Japan forum is for mostly talk about Japan, not how your goldfish died. If someone wants people to know that, then you can tell them via e-mail or IM.

Suki: Exactly. The other subforums would get filled with random topics. Why? Because people are so idiotic and can't seem to get it through their head that if the topic says, "Japanese music" that the area is for J-music talk, and not what their college schedule is like.

Aleesunz: I know that is what the discription is, I brought up that point when I was fighting for the GD area. The thing is that people can't control themselves and keep meaningful and helpful posts up.

Queenie: But really, an underwear thread is not helpful or meaningful.
I'm not saying for any other part of the forum to go, because it all relates to the Japanese culture or Japan.(Except the relationship area, lol, as you said. XD) And if you are bored, and the spam threads are helping you....kaaw.

I would have no problem with the General Discussion or Relationship area, but people can't stop with the spam. I remember what happened before with the spam threads....>_<

At least if these areas are going to stay, more mods who are active need to be appointed to take action in getting rid of meaningless threads. I would not even make this thread, since I know it's fun to chat and make friends, but when it becomes so crazy that people don't even want to look or read any posts...thats so not cool.
