You're assuming people vote depending on what Fuwa needs, which is wrong in my experience. I usually see people polling on what they want. An important difference. People fine with the status quo don't poll as often as people who want change. So an incomplete picture is formed. People don't vote with the vision of where Fuwa is headed in mind. There will always be one person with one vision directing where the organisation goes, poll results which may seem fine individually may have a negative impace when the vision is taken into consideration. Generally what happens when you only make decisions by polling is one giant mess... or nothing happening at all. So I'd be fine with no polling on serious topics, even though you mentioned it sarcastically - I doubt they'd achieve much. A much more sensible solution is to pitch ideas at Tay and let him pick which ones most align with what he wants. If polls were a good way of deciding issues, countries would be democratic. Yet they aren't because democracies (or polling) are rubbish ways to run things. Even the most democratic country on the planet (America) is a Republic, not a democracy.

Whether that’s a good or bad thing depends on the criteria for picking these “best ideas.” A lot of people tend to think "polls" are the best system for picking the best idea, which usually results in plenty of "bad ideas" being implemented. EDIT: Just in case anybody was wondering, my cynicism isn't feigned. It's all natural baby...

His Tsun nature is why everyone loves him XD. That will probably be better. It's a confusing forum. Don't overwork yourself Tay. Just in case any of the proposed changes are unhelpful I should point out... that all of them were completely Tay's idea. Be gentle with your flaming peeps :3

Double post because... I'm a copycat apparently The lounge has been separated on Fuwanovel partly due to the emphasis Fuwa places on building friendships. Tay likes to talk about it constantly and thus it probably deserves it's own special place.

General Discussion can be, it's an opinion thing. There's plenty of forums around that like to separate the serious discussions (like politics, technology... sports) from the bar room talk of "what happened to me today and why it sucks." The Community Hub's problem is it currently isn't defined very well. Can you honestly tell me the specifics of what does and doesn't qualify for the Community Hub? Why some contests are in, and why some aren't?

There's a purpose to the re-organisation, I'm just curious as to how this works out *heh*. The Fuwachat is there because people were starting to treat the forums like chatboxes. Thus there is now a place for this sort of stuff. The lounge is a forum dedicated to getting to know each other in a friendly environment because Fuwa likes to emphasise friendships. It's been separated from G&C because G&C has a very negative stigma associated to it due to a) how it originated b ) half the stuff that gets posted in there and c) it being treated like the dumping ground of the forums . Obviously this would detract from the Lounge's purpose and thus it's been separated. G&C has been morphed into the Coliseum, which should be fun. It would be good to see some more topics going in the Lounge actually. Were things separated too strictly? I don't know.

Heh, not as long as some of the other TL:DR posts you made. Your TL:DR powers are growing ~weaker~ EDIT: Lounge and Colosseum can't be seen unless you log in. Was that done intentionally?

Kickstarter's a multi-million dollar business, hypocrisy is almost a pre-requisite for these entities. At the end of the day Sekai needs Kickstarter more than Kickstarter needs Sekai, Kickstarter's visibility and outreach is a massive boon for Sekai right now. So Sekai will just have to take the hit and continue.

I was going to welcome you to the forums. But that was before your topic title sent me into an epileptic fit.....

It totally wasn't obvious

Terribly sorry. I had meant to post a silly pie graph image which looked like a hungry Pacman eating my face, my finger must have slipped…

Wha?

It's fine. I'll cop that

You are banned 24H from the Shoutbox! No warnings for Rooke XD. I'm envious of you Maef...

There’s an IRC as well but that’s been dying of late, maybe the Fuwachat could replace that. At the end of the day I view “Fuwachat” as something you use while … visiting the Fuwa realms so to speak. Hanging with Fuwamembers while on Fuwa. Skype and TS are more like groups of friends getting together outside Fuwa, you meet on Fuwa and then you take your friendships elsewhere. There’s more than 1 unofficial Skype group also, I’m a part of a small one which consists of past/present members of Fuwa.

Sweet looking VN Invert :3

Sorry to hear that mate. I wish you all the best

Nobody's sure about the translation quality, but most people are too busy staring at the cat-girls to care,..

Every word begins with a capital. It's aggravating my headache...

Hmmm, nobody else is answering this question so I'll give it a shot, even though I've only played a little bit of an early demo. The plot is the fairly generic sort of plot you get if you're familiar with shounen, RPGs, or fantasy novels, so it didn't grab me. Someone else who isn't tired of those typical adventure stories may find it pretty interesting though. And because I wasn't interested in the plot, problems with the writing style and translations kept jolting me out of the story. Like how they use massive info-dumps, or how the translator used every synonym for the word "said" he could think of. There should be a demo up somewhere, you should give it a spin and check it out.

So cruel
