Perhaps new gen will rarely know this place since the comment section was already opened for everyone. I think the regeneration of regulars will be quite difficult compared to before.

If only there was some sort of way for them to announce things. Maybe an announcements subforum or a notice board on the sidebar. Lost technology, we simply don't know how to do it.
I think I'll stick to forum comments thanks.

I don't mind if it keeps the "lol boobs" comments off my yard.

"first."

By the looks of it almost no one is using it anyway.

If Iruma-kun, which is the Normielandia Capital barely has anyone using it, then you know it has failed as a comment option.

Just noticed that, wasn't it originally for people that paid Mangadex? And our new overlords thought people would FOMO to buy MangaDexPlus-whatever-it-is-called and like 3 people used that feature? Talk about out of touch, also...

I don't think they will shut down the forums for that comment section, you can't format a comment, you can't add Smilies, why would I use that if I can't even do this

it was originally for those who paid and for contributors, im surprised it took them 6 months to open the comments for everyone considering how little use the feature saw (the paid sub must be extremely popular...that or maybe the forums are much better anyway)

Borrowing their words, "they needed more controlled testing". EthNeko also wanted more features added (such as being able to include pictures in replies), but no changes in the end. Why now... I suppose they're taking advantage everyone is talking about Microsoft & Nvidia current events?

To add onto this there's the entry they made in the notice sidebar (last used 6 months ago) when they rolled this out in the first place.

"We have made updates to the on-platform comments with this release. We will continue to monitor on-platform comments activity, which will be open to all users alongside posts feed after we finish testing our anti-spam measures. This release also reintroduces limits for users not logged in, which was rolled back a couple of weeks ago due to instability concerns."

Since it's out for us plebs now, I imagine they're satisfied with their antispam measures if the constant POWblock browser verification is anything to go by.

Since they wanted to kill the old forums once the new feature started to gain popularity and could stand on its own, I hope they will also be able to consider reverting back when they observe than 1 out of 30 comments come from the new feature.

I have to admit that I'm not excited about using the new comments feature. I hope they don't remove the chapter threads anytime soon

It genuinely would be the meteor that broke the camel's back. I still stay on this site just because of the plethora of text formatting options in the forum (the nature of forums in general. Thread quotes, sitewide search, etc.) You can't do these things in regular comment sections that barely even provide italic and bold options.

Well, unless they move all the features into the main site, which is currently more barren than the gobi desert.
