No offence or anything but I'm just wondering if anyone has said why creating another forum was needed? It's a very risky thing taking something that is already established and completely trashing it. Also, breaking the toy categories up into smaller sections was good in a way but very bad in others. Like a forum just for SHFiguarts? Really? How long will the line last that it requires it's own forum? Sure it's popular at the moment but it won't continue forever. Splintering the message board into smaller niche forums could hinder rather than stimulate conversation. I don't mean to be negative but just wondering why is all.

Carnage, DBT was a mess. Was it not obvious? There was NO active leadership and figuarts threads up the ying yang. If anything needed it's own section, it was the SH Figuarts. The fact that pretty much everyone has tranferred minus the less frequent users like sparky, sonkun, elot, TDC, and some of the figuarts-only posters, as well as Mike and Minigt who NEVER posted themselves, just shows you that the move was needed. Everything is very well organized now (though I think some of the sections that have multiple mods should be dispersed, so we have one in every section. Only figuarts needs more than one.)
@bran, Mike used to be Super Buu. Since I was part of the old DBT having joined in 2002, I remember he didn't join there until like 2006 or something and he was just a normal member. He made the initial Swap Meet thread and kept track of it, but nothing else ever stood out as to what made him so important. But I'm positive he was under the name, Super Buu.

I don't remember when I joined the old DBT but I remember that I didnt post that often. I might've joined in 06. I didnt even know he was Super Buu. The only thing that is confusing to me is the different sections like all the soften check this out ect. Other than that I'm happy with the new forum.

carnage I'm surprised you'd say that given how infrequently you'd visit ( or at least, post, on dbt-- for all I know you were on there 5 times a day). I would think you'd be one of the members that would be even more supportive of organization. Even with my frequent visits of being on there practically every 2 hours, 10 hours a day, it was impossible to keep up with what was being posted, in the last few months and everything was so disorganized and figuarts this, figuarts that, that I found the forums pretty much unreadable, or at least unappealing to read. my guess is that you weren't attempting to read catch of the day, check this out, or items yet to arrive in the mail. no offense intended to the members, but I didn't like reading "I just bought sdcc Piccolo!" fourteen times by fourteen different members, when all I cared to see was pretty much anything other than figuarts, so organization was key to making the forum a pleasant experience for all, and a more time efficient experience for those with only a specific interest in a type of figures. there are people here that only collect figuarts and don't care to see my $5 irwin figures.

Someone should bring calin cop over here. If that's possible. Who knows if he wants anything to do with the boards anymore but it was really lame how he was booted off and I'd like to see him back. I wonder if sonkun moved aswell? Was SonKun a troll on the old site? What makes you say that? Sonkun was awesome.

Sonkun and Adam just got into arguments about SHF, for dumb reasons. That's it sonkun was/is a great guy.

its just like matrix, it needs to be rebooted. the old site didnt bother me, but the lack of leadership did. bran and caps have done an amazing job, organizing, and fixing this site, i give them all the credit in the world, and i think they also picked the right mods. just my message to the mods and admins. please dont let power get to your head like the other forums ive been to, that just not cool, its weak. but knowing you guys, i dont think you guys will, and so far everyone has done a good job. so again to everyone, *Internet high five*
