    I'm not sure if this had been brought up before. If it had been, i am sorry for posting this.

    Okay, mainly, I'd like to say that so far in those categories that I have gone to, I don't really see people chatting for example like they go to this Thread and post something and they never ever go back to it. They just leave it and there's no conversation. It is like mainly for posting one message so I get one cash point.

    Do you feel so too? If so, I would hope this thread will continue talking :)

    Yes I think it's quite true... it's because this is a strange forum perhaps.
    Most of people are here to accumulate cash points for the programs... me too has discovered this forum looking for cheating progs!
    However there are some discussions always active... like dibates' and programs'... just because this is mainly a forum for programming and coding experts =P
    Anyway I'd like to chat... but my problem is the language... maybe I'd chat more if I knew English better ._.' (5 minutes only to write this post°°) I can assure it... 'cause in my language's forum I'm a chatterbox XD

    haha yeah i found this while looking for cheats as well XD

    Well anyway, what language do you speak in? :) It's okay if you can't chat here, I understand, I don't even go to those forums that are in other languages even though I know abit of it. It's hard. Anyway, I see you like L?

    hehe, well, i liked it at first but as it gets towards the end, it didn't interest me much so I stopped. Read the spoilers of what happened at the end and never touched it since.

    I'm currently watching and reading Claymore. It's the BEST manga/anime EVER!

    About the 'Main topic' I must agree that sometimes it looks like just posting. But i do see some people trying to make the topic 'worth wild' by putting what they think in and even then the continuing posts just Quote the original post and say 'Thanks', or answer the question in s sentence. I think it will become more and more like a chatting forum, once we get some topics that aren't just questions and guides we don't really need to answer.

    On to your side discussion, I've read a lot of Death Note, but found it to much reading for my liking hehe. And I've read and saw all of claymore that it out and i must say you won't be disappointed.

    Well, this doesn't seem to be much of a debate. It looks like it's just turned to chatting.
    As for just posting, there's a heap of threads for that. what you got in the wheel of excitement, what you've restocked today, what you got in the lab, etc
    If that sort of thing annoys you, just don't visit that part. Debate it has some pretty interesting topics, and most people do have some interest in what they say, including other points people raise and the come backs they have.
    So I think this forum has things for everyone.
    As for vinceraf, yeah maybe you should start a Death Note thread in the media section.
    I've got the manga and anime, but have not seen the first two movies. So make a thread there and we'll discuss!!
    Otherwise it would be off-topic spam.

    Oops sorry i think i went off topic. Btw, no it does not annoy me is just that I always thought forums are for chatting and not just for posting and well, most of the threads i went to always ended like this therefore I just like to see what others thinks as well, sorry about going off topic.

    Hahahaha, sorry for making such a big deal out of it? I just wouldn't like to see your interesting topic get turned into one about Death Note, which is also interesting! But what really annoys me is (Parisdirt1 mentioned it previously) people who quote somebody else's comment, and add 'me to!' or 'yeah', which is obviously just posting to get points. Those kinds of comments tend to get reported though.

    nah it's okay. if you didn't remind me, i would definitely have gone off topic. I tend to do that alot.
    heh, well I'm quite new so I don't actually know that they deleted those messages haha. I myself post messages to get points until recently. But of course I don't add just two words or so, I post something rather long but I post them for points initially till I realise I was doing that XD

    The debate threads are the most active (when it comes to having a real conversation) and also threads where the original poster asks a question that doesn't have a simple answer.

    Because then everyone has their own 2 cents to throw into the mix... and a lot of us visit all the time and check back to see if people responded to what we had to say.

    Or maybe that's just me. :)

    Haha well that's good. That makes me feel less lame about checking back on posts.
    There's always a few people who have really good responses that I like reading, so...

    Unfortunately, yes, I feel that there isn't much chatting going on, and since I would like to meet new people and make new friends, it makes it kind of hard...

    But I spose, if I find someone that intrigues me and has some of the same ideas/thoughts that I do, I may PM them and strike up a conversation. lol
