Unneeded Topic
Brace yourself I typed up too much and needed to split this up.

Persona 5 came out and exploded, and what better way to bring people who love it together than build a community of sorts from the ground up.
The Phansite here has quickly grown from where it begun, I remember back when I first found the Phansite, via a link from a friend. This was before it even had a forum, simply a poll and a long stream of anonymous comments. All of which were shitposts.

While I’m sure there are varying opinions, I am more than enjoying this. To an extent I almost feel pride about joining such a community so early, even if I wasn’t active on the forums since the beginning, I saw them but took a while before even making an account.
I’ll be honest, I rarely communicate with anyone online and just do my own thing. Forums are hard to approach in my opinion, finding one with dozens of sections with hundreds if not thousands of threads in each. It’s difficult to know where to begin, where to break in and join the community. Being there from the beginning or at least, near the beginning, is a novel concept to me.

The forum here is in a young state, and in a way that’s what gives it part of its charm, most of us are meeting new people in a fresh place where most of the users are almost as experienced as eachother with the place.
Naturally this also means it’s basically the breeding ground for shitposting.
I won’t say I’m an angel. I have more than one account. I first joined these forums under the username “BestRangda” before making “Hibiki” and using that, relegating BestRangda to a shitposting account of sorts though I rarely use it. I also own “Tamaki_Uchida” which is sort of a hybrid shitposting/RP account.

Shitposting is pretty fun I’ll admit… in moderation. I think a lot of us have mostly enjoyed the shitposting going on, but there’s always a line to be drawn, and here it’s definitely drawn by the shared accounts. At first it was an entertaining concept. Without the ability to change passwords, posting the password and creating a public account seems honestly hilarious, but in practice it was kinda nuts. The first bomb of shit from –AkiraKurusu- was entertaining, hell I used it to make a post (I wonder if that got any attention), but fuck if it didn’t get old fast.

People didn’t stop though. Even long after the joke got old it kept being drilled in. Besides the infamous –AkiraKurusu- there were some other shitposting accounts, public or not and with each one things just got worse. The pinnacle to this trashpile to me was AkirasDickCheese.

I just wanna say I kind of love this site right now. It’s fun being part of a place like this that’s still trying to find its footing as fresh faces try to get to know eachother and just have fun, but the early stages of the site just feel like it’s being abused, and I can’t imagine the stuff Mishima has to go through with this because of us, you really are an incredible person.
Listen this site is great, it’s kind of addictive, I always keep this page open in a tab, refresh it a lot, check posts I’ve made or posted in, I freak out a bit when it goes down for a short while, I love checking it every now and then but for real, checking the site during the dawn of AkirasDickCheese and when –AkiraKurusu- was in its prime was kind of disheartening in a way. Like it was caving in on itself and I’d have to leave because I don’t wanna deal with that shit.
Yet I still see some people trying to make a successor account of sorts even with the recent changes (thanks again for that password change option Mishima)
Look, this is a longer post than I meant to write but like…. Can you just…. Stop the excessive unfunny shitposting and stuff. Like I don’t know how most feel about it but whenever I realize another account or something sprouts up like this my excitement to check the Phansite changes to fear.
I feel like I’ve bonded with some people here, and I wanna continue having fun here whether it be serious discussions, jokey topics or what have you. I don’t want my enjoyment to be killed by something so… toxic.

I play League of Legends and enjoy it so me calling this toxic is saying something I'd say.
tl;dr stop or I'll cry
lolololololololoooloooooooooooolololololololololol didnt read
@Hibiki I swear I can only agree. I have only created an Account recently since I thought I wanted to see where this community is going but I actually love it here, so I totally get what you mean.
And Yeah, I can only agree on the shit posts
Don't worry, Hibiki.
Plans are in the works.
Hallelujah
Don't cry Hibiki, we're here for you my dude
been here since like, a day after forums were implemented, and i wholeheartedly agree.
forums can be a real interesting place, but being around for the very beginning of one like this is a totally new and VERY interesting experience, shitposting and all. But... honestly, I love it here, but those public accounts and excessive "lol so edgy did i OFFEND YOU" type of shitposting... just drags things down.
I'd still come here, even if that stuff happened every day (like it's been happening up til recently) but i'm really glad mishima is making changes and improvements to make the site better! i love this place already, it feels so... free here (think it's what the phantom thieves would want? ;P) and seeing it get bigger and better is really exciting. I hope things get even better from here <3
tldr WHAT HIBIKI SAID also thank you for this site mishima <3
