bad news

[Nicholas D. Wolfwood]

I have been noticing  in the past few months,  
That a Lot of the anime boards have been 
shutting down

like Toonami faithful
and now on august 12/2020
the Funimation  boards only
are shutting down too

is this board shutting down too?

[Momogari]

Lol no.

I'm sure they have reasons. AL doesn't depend on reason.

Bring all their members over here. More for us.

I assume you're referring to this topic here - https://www.funimation.com/forum/topic/ ... ms-closing

Best to bring them here, cos we're going nowhere. :p

but with Funimation board shutting down, and with there Streaming service still up, it is like
a one legged dude in a butt kicking contest

& how could discord replace the boards?

Discord is ok for gaming but not so much for getting know to people I find. Discord is better for Voice Chat than say Skype. It feels Funimation just doesn't want to keep their servers up for the boards and rather concentrate on getting more paid members for their streaming service

less maintenance.

makes sense for them.

I like discord for chat, but nah, forums are better for community.

Plus I can't have sigs on discord, and sigs and gfx are... apparently an outdated culture but its my culture.

I use discord as a faint word pad,
but Funimation has a great deal at $60 buck per year as far as paid streaming service goes

We usually do a anime screening one or twice a week for free ;P

Discord is good for chatting but I agree forums are better for discussions. Truthfully though most of what was posted on the Funimation forum were chats anyways. Not all though.

It’s why I never really bothered with their forums. So their move to Discord isn’t surprising. It’s surprising they waited until now.

[Nicholas D. Wolfwood]

I have a bad feeling about Funimation shutting down there boards in favor of discord real time chat
and reddit as a replace forum

[Momogari]

It's irrelevant to AL. AL will exist as long as mike feels like it, and mike's not going to stop feeling like it anytime soon.
