Last Person to Post Wins

Not sure what our facebook page does, I only very rarely check it [which I've noticed that the answers to our weekly puzzles are already up, great puzzles by the way] so how good a job does it actually do? I see pictures and day posts but thats about the extent of it.

It is also a possibility that we inadvertently scare some potential new members off. Right now we dont get many posts by people other than the usual members and only seeing us all as what appears to be a group that mostly know each other ,to one degree or another, may discourage some people from trying to join us.

So we aren't allowed to post in friendly tones with one another any more? Alright lets get on that ya bastards. Okay so seriously, there isn't anything we can do about that, natural cliques do form and it is a fact of life be it online or in life. If our frequency decreases the forum dies, if we increase it we appear to friendly with one another. We've always been a small-ish community so it is unavoidable, but wouldn't it be better giving off a friendly appearance, who wants to join a group where all they do is bitch and curse at one another? So even if we do seem close knit, I see it more as an encouragement to post so that the new members feel welcomed and decide to stick around also. Kind of the reason we are all here isn't it, anime brought us together and our communities attitude has kept us together.

 

thats the upside for random things. one can join without fear. yeah you have a point there. from my point, we dont fail in the spreading the news as our facebook page does the advertising.


Yeah I pretty much just hung out in the asylum when I joined JustDubs till I got to know everyone.

 

I was going to say I never lurked when I first joined but then remembered that I spent two days lurking and checking out the community to see if I'd fit in. Needless to say I thought it was going to be a hell of a lot of fun joining so I did. Once I made my account though I got straight into things, joined ghibli club and anime cafe, VM'd complete strangers, chatted on Xat and even delved right into the chaotic world of Last Person. Was a fun time that first day, definitely one of the reasons I stuck around with this community. Although a lot of my posts did stay in the asylum at least I was active instantly and continued to do so.

 

I also dived right in when I joined this community, I was posting everywhere and joining any club that looked interesting.

 

I remember when i first joined JD i was inactive for about half a year. I of course rediscovered the site and spent a fair amount of time lurking through out the forums. what attracted me so much to the forum was the friendliness everyone on it had. so I think it’s more appealing than discouraging. but i can see where a tight nit group would be intimidating

This,  the friendliness was a definite plus as it showed how close some of the members got with one another. I remember while I was in my initial lurk time before registering viewing some of the threads and seeing the whole playful banter. Even snide comments seemed to always be well received amongst the friend groups making it seem like an actual friend group from RL instead of a bunch of temperamental strangers that were out for blood.

lol this is a bit funny to me sometimes this topic is just a spam of randomness but others stuff like this comes up and it turns into a discussion

I see Wampa was never a regular in this thread, after my joining I hijacked this thread and basically turned it into a random discussion thread. With the era of spam slowly decreasing, this thread essentially became the skype chat before everyone was using Skype frequently. The good old days back when there was plenty of discussion everywhere.

 

Doomguy, I'll be sure to wash my neck for you just in case...

So you never paid this thread any attention at all until the end of the previous sites, thats a bit of a downer Wampa. This thread could have done with more activity at those times esp the refuge.
Also that site, I'm so confused, maybe you need to know the characters or have an interest in watching fighting games or be completely surrounded by people that fit either of my first two possibilities but...
I didn't find it to be anything special at all, although I merely watched 1 round and was reading the comments in the chat, apparently it is rigged according to the most popular comments on that chat.

 

I only started posting in the Last person thread near the end of JD's life.

 

@wampa, you see it was a visual art/design class in high school and the teacher watched anime to begin with. Considering for the design aspect we were doing looking at animation he played one for us [Vandread], it also helps that it was at a time of year when activity generally slowed down hugely  and classes were disrupted. After that it became part of the class itself since it was only very few of us there and we'd watch some anime at about the same time of year from then on. Gurren Lagann was the 2nd show that was played for us and we watched maybe 3-4 eps of it in total. We'd talk about games and everything else like that, he even had Black Lagoon on DVD and discussed it with us along with a mature scene from Wicked City.

It was an awesome class, throughout highschool we watched bits of [never the whole thing except for movies] Metropolis, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Gurren Lagann, Vandread, Heroic Age, Aquarion, Kaze no Stigma and  Burst Angel. In other classes we managed to see some of Kiki's Delivery Service and Trigun as well. Ah the spoils of going to school.
