A place exclusively designed for the angriest people in the fandom to call each other the R word with impunity because they prefer one of two fairly basic characters...sounds super enticing to me.
It’s basically a rowdy dive bar. My kind of place.
The only reason I made an account on oj was to see the pl section.
I only found OJ after googling Doffy vs Cracker too.
Agreed, and it's a good one because ultimately the goal is to lure more users.

But as Erkan pointed out to me, the whole section existence isn't visible for guests? Isn't it better to enable guests to see the section exists, but then not allow them to open it? That's what I've seen on other forums, at least.

Edit: I haven't checked as guest though
i believe it was an earlier decision, back around September when we were a lot more loosewith what could be said. We decided a section with a lot of cursing happening wouldn’t be the prettiest picture. Now it could probably be changed back.

I honestly forgot it was members only.

How does making Battledome section visible to Guests improve the forum?
Just visible, not open. My suggestion anyway.

If you see something you’re interested in existing, but can’t open it, you’re more likely to become a member to see it.

Marketing 101. How will they know they want to be a part of it if they don’t know it exists?

Meaning: you’re not actually able to enter Battledome.

Fair enough. If it was up to me, I would probably kill that sub-forum altogether. Other than Admiral, Light and Cinera occasionally putting up detailed analysis of panels to establish power levels (albeit completely biased), there is absolutely nothing interesting in that sub-forum.

Liar, you can’t handle bars.

Anyway, I’m not sure my point came across because I just can’t English anymore today. But not completely hiding Battledome would be beneficial.

Everyone wants to debate passionately about the manga they love, it's normal

I get where y’all are coming from, but I still have very little love for that section. Think the bulk of the toxicity that stems from this place comes from there, even if you cast it in an endearing light :specialmeh:

The only reason you made an account was to see Battledome section?!! That can't be right.
On OJ? Yes. So I could see and participate in it. If I remember correctly, back then the arena subsection was visible, but not the threads. Here I made an account for the same reason, plus for the people. And I haven't regretted it one bit.

As I said, I understand the people that have very little, or no interest at all in power scaling, but that has to apply vice-versa as well. People, not necessarily you, have to understand that there are people out there that couldn't give a damn about the story. The most important part for them is how strong this guy or that guy is. I for example wouldn't be here at all if one day I didn't stumble upon forums like that while wondering how strong this guy is, or how a fight between x and y would go. I am willing to bet dozens of others, maybe even hundreds, have the same reason for being on here and forums in general. The Arena can be unappealing and worthless to some, however, to some it is the only section that matters. And it is the most active section on the forum. That's undeniable. Without it the forum would cease to exist.

We gotta lock these people in the Battledome thread then. Or lock them out of Discussion thread.

After arguing against this in Seivas's thread, I can't believe I have to say it, but if some people only care about strength of X or Y, they really do need to be separated from the storyline discussions.

To each their own my dude. I can say I understand both sides. From my perspective neither is wrong. It's just what people prioritize and care about.

I don't post in threads I am not interested in. Be it the arena, manga discussion, anime discussion, other subsections. I have created a plethora of vs threads, but also plenty of threads regarding characters, the art and so on. I think that makes me eligible, to some extent, to understand both sides.

At the end of the day, we are all here to discuss what we care about. No one is coercing me, you, anyone else, to post somewhere we don't want to.

It'd be pretty cool if it was locked and you get that text as guest when you try clicking on our One Piece playground :finally:
Nah I just think we should encourage people to join the forum via register rather than having more ghost readers than users online xD.

But I like it.

One Piece playground oh Jesus the best definition of Battledome and PL discussions:cheers:

Edit. WorstGen Kindergarten.
