Because the administrators feel it is not necessary.

Potty mouth. :nono: At least wait until you have a genuine reason to cuss wantonly. I wouldn't stand that from my seventh graders, even if I heard them on their own time outside of school. And they know fuck is not an appropriate English word to use. :|
I want to know why the fuck people always use fuck as a fucking adjective.

It's always given me weird mental images. :|

I think the disparity between people's mental and physical ages should be called into question.

Oh, yeah. Japan sucks. I mean who the hell would want to live there? :roll:
I never said Japan "sucked". Japan's still a great place to go, and I bet it's a very nice place to live right now. I haven't lived there as long as you have, but I was there for three months in 2004, went back for a week in 2008, and enjoyed every day of both visits.

However, there are a lot of questions about whether that standard of living can be maintained with Japan's aging population and relatively low influx of foreign workers. I'm sure you're familiar with the many articles and papers published about the growing financial problems caused by more and more people going on pension, about where Japan's GDP is going to go in the next 10 to 20 years (most estimates I've read say "way down"), and so forth.

So the trouble I refer to is the near-term (i.e. decade or two) uncertainty of whether Japanese society can sustain itself at its present level or whether it will deteriorate. There don't seem to be that many projections (if any at all) stating that the standard of living in Japanese society will be going up in the aforementioned timeframe.

A similar idea applies to the AMV subculture.

Dude. Joke. I think this topic is entirely ridiculous. I was just making a reference to the HI I'M KIONON AND I LIVE IN JAPAN bit that shows up on the org and in #amv, even when I am not the direct instigator of it.

LMFAO.

This site was created for an (age + technical + anime_fan) demographic that no longer exists. The purpose of its creation could be viewed as a schism from the AMV ML for a number of reasons (too elitist, too insular, too much weight to certain posters, too little moderation, too many n00bs).

While the age and monetary requirements to actually do anything notable back then were becoming more accessible they were still well beyond your average 13 year old.

Truth.

This site was started by adults (legally, at least) for adults. Some teens were certainly active, but they weren't that young. I think for teens that were, you'd be looking at seventeen year olds as the least. Maybe a few sixteen year olds. Younger than that and the equipment just wasn't in the hands of any really but college students and older.

I was 17. I was also a freshman in college.

You guys stop laughing at me :( I can't take it... lol. Anyway the place was made to conform to the anime fan's whims. It has become the realm of 13 yr. olds. so I may have said it wrong. shove it, it's not important :/ and your scaring me :|.

The average age I think is around 85.

My age in years can not yet be represented by mere human mathamatics, and everyone else is 20.

It works out.

Trust me on this.
