Okay... perhaps it is a bit less in their channel since fewer people even know how to use IRC these days. All of the extra comentary they might have gotten in their channel has become part of the conversation in the AnimeSuki Forum instead. I'm divided in my belief if that is a good thing.

I believe that constructive comments can't be extolled by force, and that any attempt to do so will just cause people to resent you. The best way to foster constructive criticism and discussion is to keep a friendly channel and be open with the people in your channel. Try to answer their questions and don't freak out and ban them when they say they don't like your work or something(Exceptions of course can be made.
). Just basically try not to come off like a tyrant or megalomanic or something.
If you're even-handed and friendly, chances are, you'll get people who will enjoy joining your channel for a conversation. The key is fostering a sense of community and some mutual respect.
Of course you may chose to disregard my beliefs since we only have 18 or so people in our channel right now.
