That happened in the past. I hope you'll be able to forgive soon.

I also would like to anounce that we have formed a partnership with chatter world forums. Feel free to join that site as well. More info on my forums.

I've noticed that in the past, approved links have been removed with no real explaination or reason, but I don't mean to start up trouble over that =/

Honestly, I don't see much that's really interesting about the site...

Spam/Off Topic Forum: Honestly, I think Bandai is the only forum w/o these days (from what I've seen).

Trading Forum: I think my grandma and her sister just made a site with one of those >.>

Forum Games: Sometimes fun, but they don't add much to the actual forum. I can find a quiz or Q&A game anywhere.

Flaming Forum: Never turns out well, flaming is only going to create tension (especially in the audience you're aiming for).

Choose Your Layouts: A little fun thing, distracts you for a few minutes.

Choose an Avatar or Sig: You only get one D:...wait sorry, typo <,< (I think there are a few in your site, and I don't mean the posts)

Now before Temari or one of his mods jumps on me for this, it's called criticism. I don't sugarcoat, and if what I said upsets you, then fix it =/...But honestly, this is just like a clone of virtually every anime/gaming forum out there.

And maybe you need to rethink the quality of your content if you feel the need to have to change your forum's layout monthly =/. And typos in forum descriptions just looks plain scrubbish.

EDIT: And is it just me, or does the half of the mod staff change every few weeks...I guess you do drop every person that doesn't 100% agree with you 100% of the time...(Just calling things the way I see them)

POST EDIT: WTF at that myspace.

I need to remind people that, in referring to this forum as "Bandai" you are acknowledging that this is an official forum meant for a specific purpose, to serve as a hub, meeting ground, and information source for Naruto CCG players of all levels. Having a spam forum, for one, puts excessive extra load on the already thin moderation team. Moreover, a spam section would not even have a tangental relation to the actual CCG.

Honestly, if I had my way, I'd do away with any sections of the forum which do not pertain to the CCG, it would definitely be less "fun" but it would also be a cleaner and more professional atmosphere for player communication.

Sorry if I came off as taking a shot at Bandai (I type it out of habit). The Spam Section comment was just meant to show the extremely unoriginal nature of the TV Online Forums (the main point of my criticism). While extra forums of any nature (including Spam Forums) add a lot more weight to the moderators, it's the site's creator that makes the decision on whether it's worth it or not. I personally believe that it's not, since it just takes up server space and creates a moderation nightmare and adds nothing to the site, except a distraction. However, other people don't have this same view, and Spam Sections are now quite popular among many new forums (which is what I meant to say before). I'm typing this while half awake, so I may be all over the place in my statements, but my main point is that Spam Sections are just a distraction (not a real valued addition to a forum) and majority of new forums are starting to incorporate them.

Honestly, I have to agree with your idea. I wouldn't call it making things less "fun" however. All it would do is narrow the population of the forum down to those that actually come here to talk about the Naruto CCG (I've noticed that many members only talk about the anime and manga). The site would still be fun, but only to Naruto CCG players.
