Quote from omnimorphism

I think what's missing are the heated discussions that needed to be locked, that's why it seems empty. We need to merge it with the K-drama section so that we get some drama here.

Yes, I'm also in favor of the merging of the sections so I hope they take it into consideration

Quote from omnimorphism

I actually prefer the K-pop section split like it is now. It was a bit messy before.

I'm seeing divided reactions about this. I honestly would rather frequent one section and find all the threads there than two separate ones. I still get confused about the difference between the two. But I understand users preferring to have organized sections. So we shall see how it goes

Quote from johnny

If you believe chaos was self sufficient, you are clearly delusional.

Yeah honestly that would be crazy to change up a whole forum for that so I really hope that wasn't the case

Quote from Herz

akp forum changed cause j*hnny has power trips and wants to be the all mighty admin again after the old staff proven to be self sufficient and users didn't care about him

Woah Now that is completely new to me. So they didn't take the forum's activity and the users into consideration? Though I couldn't think of a reason as to why they would do it, I still thought it had to be a reasonable one but this...?

Quote from KAMlTRUTH

I just hope Onehallyu closes soon

LMAO why? It's dead anyways so it doesn't even matter.

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

OH literally did not exist for months that’s why it disappeared. That’s not what happened here. I think people will eventually make their way back here. After their bias comeback or some kpop scandal/event lol.

Ahh yes that's true, lol forgot those days when oh used to crash for months, that was also their reason for changing the forum so that was understandable.

I still don't know why allkpop did it though because everything seemed to work just fine, but oh well hoping for the best.

Quote from emanresu

We seem to have had a rush of traffic right at revamp. (People checking it out.)

Then to taper off now for the last few days.

Perhaps it's a natural lul with school and whatnot. Or perhaps we did lose a substantial number.

Many indicated intent to leave. Whether that's permanent or not we'll see.

Also I think the breaking up of a forum into many categories contributes to a less activity.

They're really focusing on enforcing separation of topics into their respective sub forums. Which while making organization sense. Can result in a ghost town effect if you don't have the numbers to support it.

There may not be enough people in any one category to really feel like it's bustling. Which can lead to a reinforcing cycle. Where people don't engage because they don't sense enough activity to motivate them, further decreasing activity.

I still maintain that far fewer categories would actually drive more activity and engagement. But hardly any forum seems to implement that in practice. There's a focus on extreme niche separation.

Hopefully it'll pick up.

Well said! Most users seem to think the same about the separate sections so I hope the administrators read this and go back to when we had one general section instead of two.

Quote from kirishiki

I think activity is now more separated between different sections. k lounge and k music especially.

A step in the right direction will be combining these two!

Quote from itiswhatitisss

Oooh you're gonna get banned after this

But yeah I've noticed less activity. It's nothing new, the same thing happened last revamp and wasn't super active until maybe 2018?. It will be more active probably when the old forum is deleted. AKP is still the most active forum, so even on days where it seems slow, it's still more active than most other forums out there.

Lol wouldn't be too bad if the forum keeps being less active

I think I joined allkpop in 2019 and it was crazy busy, a thread every second with page after page. So it's quite easy to notice the difference in activity now. But yes true, I don't think there is any other kpop forum as active as allkpop, so I only wish it gets better and people get used to this one.

Quote from pussy-worship

didn't the other one look outdated? i think i'm more objective bc after 1 day of me joining akp, they changed the forum to this and it is way better

i think yall were just used to the other one that's why you hate it

Oh I can understand now, so you haven't even been active on the old one that's why.

The old forum was honestly so much better for me in all aspects, it looked different, not outdated, didn't have the same boring layout as any other forum that's why I liked it so much. Not to forget all the other functions it had., emojis etc.

Quote from pussy-worship

previous forum was hideous i'm glad this happened

woah first time I'm hearing this, like in whatever way...?

Quote from huang-renjun

I've noticed less activity but I don't think this forum is going away anytime soon. There is still some support.....

Let's hope so, I mean everyone said the same thing about OH but if you visit their forum now... dead.

There is certainly some activity going on but I couldn't help but notice how little compared to before.

Is it just me or is there is way less activity on the forum ever since the revamp?

Would this be another case of onehallyu where everyone disappeared bit by bit after they changed their forum? I certainly hope not.

Though I never understand why forums like to change up things when everything works smoothly and everyone seems to be fine and happy with where they are at.

She looks so happy to have that Turtle. Let's normalize grown people collecting stuffed animals, because I know I do with no shame.

One is never too old for stuffed animals!!!
