Current season

Because often the series that aren't fluff and moe fall off the first page radar in a matter of 1 or 2 weeks and are left to die until i or a few others remember to post or discuss an episode

I mean the perfect solution would be to have a Marik-like bot update every thread whenever a new episode was released but simply having the series in the first page and thus not completely forgotten could and probably would motivate people to discuss its latest episode

Example: The Beelzebub manga thread, dead as fuck because nobody updates it with released chapters. If at the very least it was in plain sight that would be sure to motivate us to discuss recent events.

I would say that the onus is then on the people who are reading/watching it taking 2 minutes of their busy lives to comment on a series they're reading/watching.

I mean, when I take the time to read/watch something I make an effort to at least post a couple of lines in some thread in the hopes that someone else would also like to discuss it.

Why wait for some random person to bump a thread that we all know exists in the forum so that we finally get the motivation to write something on that series?

Though having a Marik-like poster does help, but all it takes is a few minutes to bump a thread you're interested in discussing with a few simple comments after you're done reading/watching an episode/chapter.

And that alone will give the attention to the series you're interested in discussing.

Main problem is not visibility of a thread in order to discuss it, but many members don't bother with a thread until they see someone new posted on it.

You know, when you say that, the first thing that comes to mind is that you yourself don't post chapter/episode updates sometimes. >_>

That itself keeps bumping the thread. I don't know about you guys, but i check the "Today's Posts" after I've cleared my control panel whenever I visit, and that brings any updated threads to my attention. Then I just have to notice when a thread is in General Anime, followed by the "Created By XX on DDMMYYYY" to know if it's a new series.
