PCHeintz was merely pointing out that you shouldn't be upset over your forum having so few members, when it's relatively new and doesn't have sections for the two most popular fandoms in existence right now.
It's not the lack of members I have issues with, it's the lack of posts. I find it ludicrous that people apparently can't have ideas beyond 'lol, let's make a Naruto and/or HP fic!!!!'. Of all the actual content on the site, most of it is from Lord Raa, the rest is mostly yosei's Claymore fic and a couple fics by others.
Pretty much FOUR MEMBERS cover it. And one of those fics has Naruto in it.
Where the hell did originality go? Before Orange Wannabe came along, people actually had diverse ideas and suggested fics for various fandoms. Then, everything started to be about a blonde dumbass who pretends to be a ninja while shouting loudly, wearing bright orange and charging headfirst into every fight, and every last shred of originality and uncommon fandoms was swallowed up by the Orange Dumb Tide.
Not even the abundance of Ranma crossovers was this virulent, and Ranma was at least somewhat competent as a character. I get the impression people like Naruto only because he's a bigger loser than they are. -_-
Yes, the one thing that pisses me off the most about Naruto is that such a mediocre series drowns out much better thought out ones through sheer kiddie-dumb popularity (because face it, kiddies make up 99% of the support that keeps Naruto afloat).
I am not expecting my forum to get 8000+ members, but it'd be nice if some of the 140+ members I DO have started proposing something that doesn't have 'Lord Raa' attached to it and doesn't have anything to do with a fandom that doesn't NEED any more fics added to it.
Rant over. :no:
