I've been a fan of Berserk for a very short time compared to many of you.
I started reading the manga only last year and saw the anime for the first time in 2001. That doesn't mean I love it any less. In fact, Berserk is my favorite anime and, as a action figure reporter, I love to write about the numerous statues and action figs Yamato USA brings over to the USA (thanks to Art of War of course!)
I love the information and wealth of knowledge this site has and the forum members here know more about Berserk than just about anybody I know (as a collective).
I realize it's the "mods" forum and they can do what they want, but it bothers me that some of the mods and posters here reply in very abrupt and rude ways to new forum members and those with questions (myself included).
I've had to email new forum members who have become discouraged about the way this forum is handled and encourage them to come back and keep posting, but they seem to dislike it here...
If you all want a better community, it needs to begin at the top and work it's way down...
I know what it is like to moderate a forum and I know how stupid, idiotic, and repetitive some of the questions and posts seem, but the mods here need to lighten up a little and HELP rather than DISCOURAGE new forum members. And the other members need to ENCOURAGE other members here as well, don't insult them for not knowing how to use the search or asking a question you know.
Again, I enjoy this forum, but people here need to lighten up and remember it's a "community" and there are always slow members of a community. They need our help and support, not our hate and discontent.
