It occurs to me that there are actually enough people here who are passionate about animation (american and otherwise) to justify putting one of these up. Any support for this?

I'm aware this could easily fit into ILE or the somewhat untrammeled ILFilms, but having a ghetto all its own might lead to a mix of Satoshi Kon/ goddamn smirky eyebrow-raised badass poochie cartoons nowadays / best animation blog / polish stop-motion topics that I'd be compelled to check out on the daily.

yipes, my officemate just did a WHUH? when i clicked that. So maybe it should be Aishite Anime instead?

I dunno why ppl couldn't just start posting to AFTL with stuff like that. I mean we talk about college football on ILNFL, you know?

Could be, but the board title is a bit offputting. Any sense in renaming that board?
― forksclovetofu, Thursday, 26 June 2008 22:20 (seventeen years ago)
How'd that thing get started anyway?
and who's modding it?
― forksclovetofu, Thursday, 26 June 2008 22:21 (seventeen years ago)
it's still active from time to time but there are like 5 people who post there
― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 26 June 2008 22:23 (seventeen years ago)
And one of them created Aeon Flux.

small ass town for a big ass horse
― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 26 June 2008 22:24 (seventeen years ago)
So lemme rephrase the question: can we turn aeon flux into I<3Toons with a fresh set of mods?
― forksclovetofu, Thursday, 26 June 2008 22:26 (seventeen years ago)
whoever's modding it deleted "Your favourite jokes about Aeon Flux" within about 15 minutes, fwiw :(

no, that was Pash.
― El Tomboto, Friday, 27 June 2008 01:11 (seventeen years ago)
I think. Pretty sure it was a site wide, but I never even saw it.
― El Tomboto, Friday, 27 June 2008 01:12 (seventeen years ago)
So the board is now kinda in limbo...?
― forksclovetofu, Friday, 27 June 2008 03:06 (seventeen years ago)
No, it's loading now, nevermind.
― forksclovetofu, Friday, 27 June 2008 03:08 (seventeen years ago)
maybe this is a dumb ? but is there any way it could share with ilcomics? the two seem related... but i'm not really an expert on either, so sorry if that is insensitive.
― tehresa, Friday, 27 June 2008 04:35 (seventeen years ago)
btw this goes here
― TOMBOT, Friday, 27 June 2008 04:45 (seventeen years ago)
Ah, here's where it went. Tell you what, I'll try some posting of this sort over there and see if it gets rolling.
― forksclovetofu, Friday, 27 June 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)
FWIW, the stuff you're talking about does seem like more of a fit with ILComics than Aeon Flux, particularly since some of it gets talked about there anyway and there's a dedicated-if-quiet group of posters on Aeon Flux who want their board to be a certain way (I tried starting a conversation with them about Bleach and was politely informed that they didn't care at all about that show).

Well, my initial post of "suggestions for I love toons threads" was promptly erased.
Can a mod politely tell me to let this go, and/or take it to I heart comix or suggest next steps?
― forksclovetofu, Sunday, 29 June 2008 06:51 (seventeen years ago)
i would politely suggest the don't be a dick and say "THIS BOARD IS DEAD LOL WTF" and instead start some threads and see what happens approach.
― John Justen, Sunday, 29 June 2008 07:03 (seventeen years ago)
The "BOARD IS DEAD LOL WTF" approach seems to roll fine on every other board, but what the hell I'll try it your way.
