Hello GoodAfternoon!

first thing first Happy New year to all Akiba users :)

I m very glad i m a part of this wounderfull website & to be honest its really awesome but as we all know in ever good website there are negative and possitve aspects so here i m gonna share what are negative things but before i share i appologize for my words if someone hurt by my words thank you

Negative things

1 No hollywood section available here which is bed for the business because we have to lead all over the world not only in japan right? atleast we should allow only hollywood normal movies not xxx

2 filejoker is not good why ? ok i tell u because they dont allow hollywood movies and tvshows they are good may be but not according to professional uploaders because a good filehost always allow all the good things so in my opinion if they dont allow hollywood movies and them tvshows then we should allow users to posts any primary filehost because they have no option so not a big thing right ?

I believe you all gonna like and support my thread thank you

Best Regards CaptainTsubasa

Akiba-Online is a Neo-Otaku community which means anything related to Japan is okay anything else is not. They decided to stretch the rule to allow other asian material but western stuff will always be a no-no. It is not only against the theme of this site it is would be asking for trouble from the hollywood bigwigs so get used to the idea....no western material allowed. We can talk about it but we can't post any of it.

Filejoker is our sponsor, like them or hate 'em that is the one chompy decided to go with so it is here to stay until chompy chooses otherwise.

It is not that I don't wish things were otherwise but that is just how things are here and love it or hate it; that is how things are going to stay.

Somehow I don't get your point, @CaptainTsubasa. This forum is specialized in Japan related content. And it offers wide variety of content in that aspect - all aspects of Japan are discussed here. It's like other forum which specialized in other subjects (e.g. like cars, planes, trains, music of a certain style or even bands and musicians). If you're interested in Hollywood movies why not looking for a forum which is specialized about the U.S. in generally or especially in Hollywood movies. They would be a lot more capable in sharing information about it then we do, right? Asking for opening this forum to Hollywood related informations is like opening a forum about cars to women clothes (okay, maybe it's a lit bit different, but... okay...).

A. Firstly your point about hollywood movies is moot because this is Akiba online, Japanese only dude. Look around!

B. Filejoker not being good because they dont allow hollywood is also moot (see point A)

And last but not least, why did you think your rallying cry would have an effect? Did you ask around and see if anybody wanted or agreed with what you suggested or did you just go out and make yourself look a fool on a whim?

Not cool dude, not cool at all.

Anyway, back to my Rei threads ;)

If all good forums allow Hollywood movies and TV shows from around that globe I'm wondering why AO is so popular (we even had performance issues many times before, but after the last move of the servers it's now fixed - thanks to much work of some members) also it doesn't have these sections?
I'm active in a few forums (also I'm most active here) and they all don't have that kind of forums. So I don't see any problem not having these. ;)

Captain, you're the new kid in town just joining us in December. Welcome! But if you take a longer look at the site logo at the top of the page you should not be surprised at all that Hollywood movies are not a topic of conversation or otherwise. This site has been up for years thanks to chompy and all the staff and the sponsors. To my knowledge there has never been such a section as you're suggesting. Just a wild guess but if you are dreaming of allowing other hosts specifically to share Hollywood movies, that means you have movies to share. There are MANY sites, blogs, forums and the like out there that already do that. You don't need to lobby to create such a presence in a community that just doesn't need or want it just because you might want to start posting things here. That has to be what this is about. If you were looking to download such content you certainly wouldn't be here trying to convince anyone that they should be allowed to provide it. There are plenty of sites out there already.

You'll have to forgive us, but there is absolutely NOTHING positive about suddenly filling a forum such as this with the content you're after. You know nothing about what is best for this site. If you did you wouldn't bother with this endeavor. You just joined recently, so sorry, you're not a friend of Akiba if the first thing you do is try to change it.

Answer this question: Do you want Hollywood movies and shows here because you want to download them or because you want to share them??

so to speak as one of the team (I'm just assuming i'm part of the team - even if i'm mainly doing hardware-stuff):
we don't support him.

there won't be any benefit allowing hollywood-films, since there is no audience for them here on akiba.

there will never be hollywood-film on akiba, as long as it's dedicated to japan.
It's escusively Japan-related stuff only.

no need to argue any longer :/

Hard to tell if there is a severe language barrier, he is trolling or he is just sincere but dense.....maybe a combination of all of the above. I would love to see more shared here than just porn myself. It really limits this forums potential. We do share music, manga, movies and somewhat congenial discourse here. And who really wouldn't actually love that this site could reasonably share western movies and music? of course that is never going to happen here for reasons mentioned previously and many unmentioned. Yet seeing as we do such a poor job here sharing other Japanese material it seemed a pretty silly idea to insist this site branch out to sharing mainstream "western" cinema (I always picture cowboy hats and horses when people refer to the USA as a western country, really, most of us never even rode a horse).

I actually once shared a Japanese mainstream movie in the correct section and had somebody bitch the reply "why would you share that here? I go someplace else for movies like that". Unfucking believable but that is the mentality of the majority of people who visit Akiba-Online, they think just porn is to be shared here. There really aren't that many contributors here, when all is said and done, but there are a lot of ungrateful leeches. There are also, I like to think anyway, an even greater amount of untapped potential in our members and members-to-be to really help take this site to the next level. There are many different sections other than the JAV sections that are practically empty of shares at this site. I find it hard to believe that no one that visits here has nothing new to offer us. There is nothing wrong with watching porn but man does not live just for porn alone. Man is the most intellectual, creative, diverse and curious creature in the known universe. So we know you got other stuff on your computer than JAV people, share it here and contribute to a greater Akiba-Online. If there isn't a section for it here then share enough on a subject and we will get the mods here to make a new section for that subject. Just no hollywood movies or tv shows, okay?

Reminds me about Facebook pages about certain subjects (e.g. video games): Some guys (or girls) open a Facebook page about a certain video game. And as that page is somehow interesting they get a lot of people who like their page and follow it. Then these guys (or girls) start to think maybe "oh my, oh god, I got so many followers! I'm popular / famous (also it isn't the game, not them - okay, maybe there articles / content). Now that I have so many followers I have to do something!" - and they start posting all kind of content not related to that game (about the console / PC or even things which are not related at all). And that's the point I start to think to un-follow them because it's flooding my pinboard.

Even if you get many users you should stick to things which made your page, site or forum popular. Of course from time to time you should think if it's possible to improve it and give the users a even better experience than before. But stick to you subject.

Well, yeah but here at AO we have a pretty broad subject matter so that leaves a lot of room to improvise. When I first came here hongfire was on and off and there were a lot more shares on Japanese visual novels and the game discussion area was pretty lively. I make a habit of checking the news sections on the internet concerning Japan and nobody ever shares dick about it here anymore. There was a time when the default page had the current news thread displayed and there was a lot of lively discussion in those threads....it was often fun or at the very least informative. Akiba-Online had a thread for "Pictures from Japan" (and we still do) but with all the Japanese visitors here we really don't get that many shares in that thread when it really should have its' own subforum where all the people who visit and live in Japan could contribute....not that there is any indication that they would (I sure do miss aquamarines posts though, good photographer that one was). There is nothing wrong with seeking to expand the random and chatterbox areas either. Javee has some interesting posts in those threads but there has been little to no attempt to improve that area and create subsections so most posts in those sections just get lost and buried. Perhaps if there was more interest and discourse from our members, more participation, the mods might find an interest in adding subsections. Chompy added a Doll section and dolls are big collectibles in Japan but....hardly any shares from our members.

Akiba-Online has always been a large JAV sharing site since before I got here but it has become more of "just" a JAV site and most all the topics tend to revolve around that because that is what this site has devolved too. Sticking to that is limiting and will, in time, likely be the slow death of the forum. The term Neo-Otaku actually is defined as having knowledge in many areas of interest as opposed to the defintion of Otaku which is just having an interest and knowing about one subject matter. So in fact Akiba-Online was actually designed for diversity and it states so right in the forum header.

Akiba-Online is what its' members choose to make of it and pretty much always has been. So if anything, other interests should be encouraged to be shared here whenever possible. A larger staff would help, sure, as well as ads and banners that encourage and reflect a neo-otaku board but none of that is up to me. Basically the staff is streamlined and here to keep the JAV sections from getting totally out-of-hand and it could be said that the members and visitors that come here reflect that. Yet it really always has come down to the members here, what and how they choose to contribute.
