| Genuine question, I actually do enjoy quite a bit engaging (both creating and replying) in these forums (even if it can sometimes be frustrating). But do y'all actually like these things or you just do it to pass the time or smth like that? |

| I find it pretty fun discussing anime on mal. It is a rare case of a website non spammed by engagement farm to get cash so it actually allows discussions. I never seen mal shadowban either. |

| Overall no because most have such bland personalities and boring anime taste but some users here are fun to talk to and have some interesting things to say my big post count is from before 2020 when AD was better, now we have people like dragevard and berriessan |

Yes i like engaging when taking a break to pass the time between series i'm going through. I think its kinda odd we don't have a high traffic on forums.
| @KlSSA The thing is that forums imo have a kind of high barrier of entry. It is already rare enough to create a MAL account and be active on it (which already discards most fans), but you have to enjoy reading forums and ideas beyond one liners or memes and repyling to people online in a very different way to regular social media. If anything I think there are more people replying in these things that I would expect. Also there are a lot of weirdos in MAL so most people who are novices to anime will run the other way if they see a forum where a guy is asking in what bikini do their waifu look the best. |

| @Catalano I kind of hate and like your presence in forums lol. Like you go hating MT on every forum in existance and such, but I do respect the replying consistency you have (which I don't) and we do have some common ground in things we like apparently. Curious btw, why do you hate Dragevard and Berriessan? XD |

| No, because the quoting functionality is soooo ass.... I quote a small part of someone's post and the system just adds the whole shit above. Why?! Forums from 2007 were more intuitive than MAL's forums. |

Forums from 2007 were more intuitive than MAL's forums. There is a way to prevent that XD, I discovered it some time ago. You quote what you want to quote, copy that "text" and then make a general forum reply instead of replying to that specific person, like what I'm doing right now. |

| I like coming here from time to time. My friends don't watch much anime, so I don't usually have anyone to talk to about it. Here, I have the opportunity to speak my mind a bit. |

| @DarkFirefly72 dragevard recommended mushoku to me but the problem is that he lied telling me exactly what I wanted to hear, he said stuff like mushoku is super perverted and dangerous, you can imagine my reaction after watching it. berriessan is a big shingeki fan but he is an alliance supporter and on top of that, both are huge moe blob fans therefore my direct enemies and they never shut up about their moe blobs |
|
| Yes of course, it's the main reason i use mal for, it's certainly not for tracking anime that's for sure. |
| On the rare occasion when it's not ragebait or circlejerking. It's nice. |

| @Catalano The ecchi tag in mushoku is pretty deceptive. |

if you mean the ppl yes but overall no.
| @naoya3desu I would actually say the opposite XD. Like I love the concept of discussing things on forums, but some people are just smth else. |

| Yes, I like this place how largely very civil, very friendly and very relaxed laid back all of it feels which reminds me a bit of non mainstream youtube, many subredits and overall pre mid 2010s internet as well. |

| @Catalano Makes sense tbh. Still funny to me that you hold such a grudge, but that's part of the fun part of engaging with people online. |

@Pit93 That became easier since they've implemented the selected quote. You do have to copy/paste it into a new reply though. For a long time, I agree it was not so intuitive. */-\* */-\* */-\* */-\* */-\* I think most people who dislike the forums don't visit them anyway. Only masochists and against-all heroes would stay? |

| I don't engage in anime discussions with anyone on the Internet. I rather use my time for better things like trading cute waifu images.  |
 Currently Watching ☆ My Awkward Senpai ☆ Current Visual Novel ☆ World End Economica ☆ |
| I do post my thoughts about an episode or chapter sometimes. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
