I only know this forum from hearsay and when someone on AP is linking to it, but I hope the users can find another platform to discuss One Piece. There are so many options nowadays, I'm sure they will manage.
Edit:
Oh no… The OJ served as a prison for a toxic mentality. Terminating OJ is equivalent to leaving the doors of Impel Down open.
You are about to release lvl6 prisoners upon the rest of the world... Here is to hoping that OJ Discord contains them.
Lol
That's unfortunate, it seems like they weren't able to sustain the financials if I'm reading right? Always sad when a fansite gets taken down, but there's plenty of places for them to go.
Wow that sucks. I have an account there, but only posted a few times. Seemed to get a lot of traffic so that will be a lot of people put out into the wild. I did use it for SBS pretty regularly so I'll miss that.
Never really posted anything there and barely visited it. It was sure a clutter mess over there.
It was a super toxic community yes
It really sucks that Oro Jackson is closing, I'm usually on that site a lot and seeing it go away is sad. Even though I will miss the site and some of the users, I will not miss the constant Zoro vs Sanji debate and the off topic power level discussions.
So uhhh where are they gonna mass exodus to? sweats
Let’s all hope they migrate to Youtube.
Why are they closing down? :sad:
I feel like this thread would fit better in the General One Piece section than the General Discussion section.
Yep and that's why I am here, like some others I suppose,I will call people to gather here
I'll definitiviely miss OJ, I have been on the forum for only two years but I really liked it.
Sucks for people to lose their home.
Thank fucking God. Bunch of "MUH FIGHTS!!" power level wankers with cringey ass unfunny shenanigans in their spoiler waiting thread every week.
Drown forever.

They're already talking about coming here and showing how much of a troll they can be. It might be based on what Redon said. I might have to use the ignore option for the 1st time

Ah, so it's Planet Namek all over again.

You do know that not everyone on that site are power level junkies…....ok so maybe a majority of them are, as for the whole unfunny shenanigans in the spoiler waiting thread I don't see any problem with that. The spoiler waiting thread was a place for them to goof around while waiting for spoilers, once spoilers were out that's when they start to have serious discussions about the spoilers on the chapter spoiler thread. Also you do realize that with Oro Jackson closing some of those toxic users will now be set free to join other forums including this one, at least with Oro Jackson around that site could contain those users.
It seems much more immature to care about a meme thread existing without ever needing to enter it than to actually post in it. I could understand some mods having hesitation about things, but regular posters. I don't get the hate.
I'm really going to miss oro jackson. I had quite a lot of good feedback for my projects there, along with some nice conversations.

They should just go to /a/ with shitposts like that.
Sad day for us OJ members :'(

Nothing wrong with wanting a sense of quality control. You allow that then the bar has been lowered and who knows where we go from there.
Sad day for us OJ members :'(
Very sad day for us indeed (I'm Shinjojin there). Well at least we have until end of August to enjoy the place a little longer before they pull the plug. :(
Well let us see if some will end here…
Doubt it cuz AP isn't as attractive for the "casual" fan wanting to talk about Zoro vs Sanji in different threads created
And the old ass engine this site is using won't help as well.
But the highers here do not care that much after all anymore
It's heavy stuff for sure.
Been a member there for 3 1/2 years, and while I was not exactly super active it had some great moments.
Yes they were often hella toxic, but I feel like that was part of the appeal of being there.

Is current AP really that behind OJ in terms of design and functionality
It seems OJ just had more forums and smilies options
The actual tech isnt really that different
Heck that's part of why they were trying to make an OJ 2.0 was that it didnt change in years

Ehhh yes it is.
vBulletin is outdated and we still have a shit mobile theme with no real options
And no I won't buy Tapatalk just to brwose on outdated sites.
XenForo is much better.
Further more as I mentioned the admins and Co have done jackshit to even do a single update… Non of them is active that much and even finished themes aren't included.
But tech aside the forum isn't even close as active as in the past.
You can say herp derp Reddit, YouTube and so on is the future but OJ, even if I admit it's over the top with bullshit, is extremely active. Spoilers and translations are posted most of the time there first. Back on the past AP was.the first place to go
Do not get me wrong. I like how some things are managed here like not creating a new thread for every brain fart.
Still it could be more user friendly again... Same goes for not sitting on a high horse because we feel like elites
And a big chance to do so is right now...
I'm not tech savy enough to even tell what could be improved.
Feels pretty stable and decent enough to my old dinosaur eyes
what do you want? Mobile responsive version? More themes? More Smileys? That costs time, or on its flip side, money, to do.
i like the way this forum looks
As someone who's a member of both forums, who briefly became fairly active on Oro Jackson and somewhat inactive on Arlong Park for a little while shortly after joining the former (and a few months after joining the latter), I can honestly say that the site design and higher levels of activity were/are the only things I really considered to be better about OJ. And even those are minor gripes to me; I still find the format of AP to be perfectly fine and don't have a problem with it, and am busy enough these days that, usually, the level of activity we have around here is about the level I can keep up with, only feeling like it's too slow on some occasions (like during manga break weeks).
I eventually ended up migrating away from OJ (becoming mostly inactive there except for the chapter comparisons) and back to AP simply due to liking the atmosphere here better. It did, indeed, get toxic there sometimes. Yeah, the fact that anybody could make a thread about pretty much any theory (or any_thing_) made it kinda messy, and it felt like you couldn't point out that an objectively stupid theory was stupid (even when explaining why) without getting warned by mods for it. The constant Zoro v Sanji and other power level debates was exhausting. Hell, I hate that enough when it happens here, but if you think it gets bad here, oh boy… Plus, the "like" system that OJ had, and the ranking level that's based on how many likes you get and how much you post rather than the quality and content of what you post…I think some members there like that system, but I wasn't really a fan. However, with all of that said, it's still a shame to see it go just for the fact that, while Oro Jackson turned out to not be my cup of tea, nor that of many other regulars and long-time members here, it was exactly what some people out there wanted and needed, and I still feel bad for the members of OJ who found a great community of friends there that they're now losing. Having met many really cool people here on AP and being part of an awesome community with several of them, I can certainly sympathize with how hard it must be to lose that.

Why you gonna do me like that, Kish? I thought we were cool.
Why you gonna do me like that, Kish? I thought we were cool.
And we are and I am happy that you are reacted to me with your first post since 7 month.
Would love to see a tad more active and would love to see this forum getting some upgrades and the love it deserves
Maybe my post was a bit harsh… But it was harsh because I love this forum and just want the best for it... Meaning being the numero 1 source for OP fans to gather like in the past.
Not only this site was my first ever forum, it also teached me a lot. My English alone, even while still bad, is far better than in the past.
I even miss some people from the glory days which smacked me.around because of my annoying fanoboy shit...
But seems most are gone or not active like you...
And that is why I hope with OJ closing, which I do not care for, there is a chance to bring some people ok board here.
But this would mean active support by people like you and maybe some upgrades in the software.
Because come on... Some people can say hey it's fine but it totally isn't in 2019
Well, this place aint free. I'm always here, I just have lots of… extracurricular activities, and that makes it difficult to engage in conversation. I'm still happy to read and when necessary (IE: server issues) support from behind the scenes.
I just have lots of… extracurricular activities
Why does this sound so shady. I mean Brenn is a wholesome family man so it can't be what we all are thinking right? Or am i the only one who immedietly assumed that AP is an elaborate front for Brennens many many illicit activities:ninja:
I can't get into the specifics. Money changes hands. Like I said, this place aint free.
As someone who's a member of both forums, who briefly became fairly active on Oro Jackson and somewhat inactive on Arlong Park for a little while shortly after joining the former (and a few months after joining the latter),
This got more and more confusing as it went on ^o^
Right, OJ is heading out, that's sad. Lots of young fans grew up there.
I can't get into the specifics. Money changes hands. Like I said, this place aint free.
You guys need to remove spam bots on intro thread. Its terrible reputation for an admin if he cannot figure out to remove those.
Sorry if i said in offensive . I agree very much with kishido.
Many of the one piece forums have died . OPB, OJ , Dunno whatelse forum.
This is the only known one piece forum left.
I guess we can expect alot of backseat administration on how to make AP more OJ:ey from now on out huh.

you should be banned if you don't agree with my zoro sharingan devil mode theory

Yoohoi! I'm from OJ and looking for a new home :sad: i've been with them for just 6 months i can't say i'm sorry for the "forum" itself cuz i don't give a damn about the "design" i was hanging out both on AP and OJ looking for spoilers for a lot of time but eventually joined OJ mostly because of the community and the """toxic""" stuff.
The place here seem to be more moderate and i respect that but all of these things:
-Making threads about any stipid theory/idea u have
-The Zoro vs Sanji (or Any vs Any) debate
-The power level debates
-The Spoiler Waiting Room :wub: (The blessed Spoiler Waiting Room)
Yes some times it gets RLYYYYYYYY TOXIC but the fact that you could have had a "bad time" with someone arguing about a "stupid theory" / power level and then the next couple of hrs had a fun time with him in the Spoiler Waiting Room with all the fun/Shitpost idk but i rly felt connected with the community (with all of them rly there are users that i kinda""""hate"""" when it comes to debates in the theories post but in the spoiler waiting room it feels like we all become a lovely family) and yes with all of these things even if it seem "messy" it make the forum look very active and feel like u have always something to do and someone to interact with (in a toxic or fun way).
I hope if many of us will come here you will consider these things.
OJ people are already improving the site. By gigantifying the font I can now read text without the need of glasses. My nearsightedness is cured. Thank you OJ.
As someone not too familiar with OJ, what was there stance on posting about scanlation spoilers before the official release?
Because that was a point of contention at first here, but for the most part hasn't been a problem after everyone got into the habit of keeping it to the spoiler thread.
If it's similar to what i've seen on the op reddit the few times i've been there, i could see that being something members from that site would have a problem with here.

At OJ, as soon as scanlations hit, the chapter thread is out.
I love the concern about OJ members doing a mass exodus to AP, you brought this upon yourselves.
Ope, it was either join Arlong Park or register as a cyber-bully so here I am….
