What are the criteria for "retiring" a forum ? Is it related to the airing date of the show or the number of posts in the section ?
With only one post in May, I would have expected the AMG forum to go down instead of the Monster one which seems a little less dead. (edit nevermind, those were just old threads bumping yesterady, the Monster forum was dead too, but I still see no reason to keep the AMG thread on the first page) Last edited by Rahan; 2008-05-24 at 12:26. |

My personal preference would be to use the air date of the last episode and retire forums once this has past the 3 year mark but this isn't the only criteria we will use. At this point in time the six series that will be moved had finished over 3 years ago (except for Monster which finished about 2 years and 8 months go). Last air dates 10.06.04 Chrno Crusade 18.06.04 KonoMini 27.06.04 Midori no Hibi 02.10.04 Fullmetal Alchemist 01.04.05 Air 28.09.05 Monster There are going to be some exceptions to this, FMP is rather active due to the novel releases for the moment so it may not be moved after 3 years (it would be due since it last aired on 20.10.05). AMG last aired on 25.07.06 and last time I checked (on 25.04.08) had 145 posts in the previous 100 days. Monster on the other hand only had 25 posts between 01.01.08 and 29.04.06 |

And before anyone points out that Kimi ga Nozomu Eien finished airing on 04.01.04, there is a new OVA due this year so due to this it will not be retired yet. |

Without this thread, I would not have noticed the new change (at least not right away). >_< !
This of course, makes me believe that an announcement on the forum main page might be helpful for all those people that never bother with the feedback section in the first place.

I personally would like to see the "no new threads" part modified. I understand if you would like to cut down on the threads, but i think request should still be taken, maybe with a little more strictness on what qualifies. Other than that, i like the idea as a whole.

This is the only series subforum to which I subscribe, and I'll be quite happy to see it replaced with a single ongoing discussion thread like "Monster -- Generic's Evil Twin" or whatever it turns out to be. Edit: Ah, I guess the choices were already made. I refreshed my CP and suddenly xris was at the top of the list in Monster. We'll I'd still like to see those two threads I mentioned maintained, but it's not that big a deal.

This batch of 6 sub-forums just retired are a bit of an odd bunch since some of them are rather old and as such the threads inside them are rather "unstructured" For example the Fullmetal Alchemist sub-forum has nearly 600 threads and not one actually seemed to discuss the overall story. I would suggest that if there are threads that are missing or needed (and I'm sure thare are) then please request them in the The forum is now retired sticky or in this thread (which might be the better place to ask). Just make sure the request is something that is really needed and not a "Favourite Character" poll or similar (such threads have rather missed the boat by now). The two threads in question have been left open now. |

Regarding the Full Metal Alchemist sub-forum...
Now that a Full Metal Alchemist second season has been officially announced, shouldn't the forum be upgraded from retired to older series for the time being? According to the retired forum guidelines
