Danganronpa,,,

Yeah @masterofflys a whole bunch of us are watching this series for club activity in the New Release Club, located http://dubtopian-review.eu/groups/the-new-release-club/forum/topic/new-release-clubs-danganronpa-discussion/

It goes by club but its goal is to simply promote discussion, so everyone is allowed to participate regardless of if they choose to become an official member. We have had numerous posts about what could happen in there and I'd encourage you to check it out as well to see the expressed opinions.

 

@masterofflys No worries, it is kind of out of the way so it easy to miss it especially since it isn't in the horror section. Duplicate threads can exist but my club is guaranteed some sort of activity from members while people could potentially forget about this one. So creating this thread was fine but that one does have existing activity and probably will do so until it ends

If you need any help or have any enquiries just ask.

Get hyped.

 

Further proving my point, people want to discuss these things outside of a club.

well I joined the club so that I could participate in the discussion


And then there's this.. Joining a club for the sole purpose of participating in one discussion thread.

 

Well, I joined the forums for the "sole purpose" of an elimination game, but I guess I stayed for the atmosphere. Nothing wrong with someone trying to recruit for a club (I remember a certain someone very proud of his...). But we should have more threads like this.

If I remember correctly, we did have a lot outside the club area at one time. I miss some of the discussions we've had about Higurashi and stuff (though of course that one came over).

Your point is irrelevant to the subject. Joining a club for the purpose of discussing one anime is not the same thing. These people are already members on the forum for whatever reason it was they joined in the first place. Having to join a club because that's where the discussion thread is, is pretty stupid.

People are actually more likely to remember threads which are posted in public and not hidden away in a groups forum. Since the public forum is completely visible. Unless of course you're totally incompetent and do not check the last posts properly, which is hard to do especially now that the "new posts since -" buttons were fixed. I know for me at least, like clockwork, I visit the discussion thread immediately after watching the episode. So for me it doesn't matter where the thread is since I'm looking for it every week anyways. I just think if The New Release Clubs threads were in the public, you'd be getting the same club members posting in it. Plus, people wouldn't have to go out of their way to join a club just to be able to discuss one anime. If the clubs threads were in public you'd still get the same club members posting in there along with people who just want to discuss the show, not actually join a club and become regular with it. You say duplicate threads can exist but its really impossible when as soon as one is created the new release club people come in here trying to redirect the person into the club. I just think if the threads were made in the public forum we wouldn't be this discussion every season.

 

Then you're missing the point of what I'm saying. Like I have joined the forums for one singular reason but have stayed for completely unrelated reasons, one might join the club and learn to like the other aspects. Since the club is centered around the discussion of new anime, someone can join in on one new anime and stay to talk about another. It would be the same for the Midnight Channel. Someone could jump in on the voting for an anime they really want to see, but stay for the next week because they enjoyed their experience or found another they would like to watch.

I get what you mean by not wanting it to be like "you must join the club to talk about any new anime", but if it's already there, why not join in? That can stay there and this can stay here. If the other thread dies off or someone has an avoidance for clubs for whatever reason, we can just discuss anime here.

You came to the forum for an elimination game. Stayed for the discussions.
This person came to the forum for discussions. Has to join a club in order to participate in them.

There's really no correlation in the two. A correct example would be you coming to the forum for the elimination game. There's already an elimination game thread in public. Its the same exact lineup and everything but there's a duplicate of it too and if you want to participate in the more active duplicate then you have to join a club in order to do so. It's just needless extra work for people when the clubs organization, nominations and voting could all be separate from the discussion threads. It doesn't effect my clubs discussions at all. Plus the threads are still easier to find in say, 3 months when someone new wants to discuss the thread. They won't know that its been buried in some group and they're making a duplicate thread when the original already has discussion elsewhere. Then this person would have to join the club just to discuss the one show. And maybe they don't want to participate in the club itself.

I know the point you're trying to make, you're just using bad examples for it. Maybe some new people don't want to go through all the voting, nominations and rule reading in order to simply discuss a show. Sure you could refrain from joining in on nominations and voting but why intentionally avoid aspect of a club when you just want to discuss a show? The threads could be created in public and it would avoid all the other hassle.

@The Midnight Channel reference. Nobody does that. Why would you go through all the work of joining, reading everything, understanding the clubs rules, vote once and then never participate again? That might sound logical to you but to me its not. It's just extra work.

I fully realize that ultimately the final decision is up to Supernatural becacause its his club. But that won't stop me from occasionally bringing up the good and bad points of something. After all this forum really lacks good discussions anyways.

 

I didn't say (nor did anyone else mention) that this person's sole purpose of joining the forums was to discuss this particular topic. Maybe they came just to debate in general and happen to try for this one. Therefore it would much more suitable for them to join that club.

And again, you fail to see my point. My example was: I was not a part of these forums (and probably wouldn't have still) but I was enticed by the elimination games and felt the need to participate. Were there other anime communities and forums? Sure; plenty of them just about everywhere (maybe the "duplicates" were just less "active"). However, the elimination games weren't as "public" as you claim. Note: I was not a member of these forums at the time. Therefore, I had to do "extra work" in order to become one, just so I could vote. Though, I personally had every intention of voting again (rather than your "once" which I agree no many people would work for), and I also enjoyed some of the debate that was already coming up over each character.

Therefore, my correlation is still accurate. The person may have wanted to discuss this topic, and maybe they found they had to do "extra work" to get into the more active thread, but once there, they might stay for the next discussion or find friends within the group with the same inclination for discussion. And just as with your club (or with myself and these forums for that matter), if they don't like it, they can always "never participate again". Crude as it may be to suggest that they only participate once, they're more than able to.

 

Haha this discussion again, this makes what 3 different series in which this has taken place since the migration?
For my club I had originally planned that after the series concluded I could move it to its correct location, lets face it if the series is complete there is no need for it to remain there, however I have since found out that even with mod powers the only places I can move it to are other threads in the same sub forum. For example anything in this area of horror and psychological can not be moved to say drama and slice of life even if this is the most inappropriate location for it. So any threads made in my club are stuck there, so my original idea is screwed.
For future activities I might make it in the correct area we'll see as we get there, and for reference you don't need to be a member of the public club to take part in it anyone is welcome perhaps leaving off the club name will also work.

Now for this to be left as a discussion about Danganronpa, lets see the new ep airs tomorrow and hopefully it will be subbed quickly, but who will be the next to die? Take your pick.
I think it is the psychics turn now who's crystal ball was destroyed in the first arc, after all how else will he predict the future events that will happen 30% of the time?

It feels like this suddenly turned into a "tit for tat" because the example you used wasn't a good one. I already said I understand what you were trying to say. At this point you're just wasting your time trying to reiterate the same point.
