      I imagine many, if not all, of the staff are against this suggestion, but please hear me out. I'm pretty sure everybody agrees that the current thread sucks. Both because of flaming (I will accept my share of the blame for that) and because half the posts are about retarded topics. I believe that separate nakama threads would allow people to ignore the retarded stuff and as a result vastly cut down on the amount of flaming. The reason people flame so much in the current thread is not simply because they believe that somebody is wrong, but because the wrongness is right in front of them and it frustrates them to see it. Sure they can put the put the person/ people spreading the idea on their ignore list, but they can not put everybody in the thread who replies to them on their ignore list. If the theories are in a separate thread, they are able to just ignore the thread entirely. Personally speaking I was sick of the Perona debate long before it ended. I kept coming back to it because it was in the same place as something I actually wanted to discuss.

      I don't believe I'm the only one who has thought that some people in the nakama thread are trolls. But it can't be proven, they may just be really stupid and therefore we can't force them out. However, we can force them to place their stupidity in their own dark corner.

      What I suggest is one thread for each of the popular theories, and one thread (the current one) for the less popular theories. As of right now I think the only 2 popular theories are Jinbe and Caribou. If another theory becomes dominant in the general thread it could be given it's own thread.

      Don't kill me please.

        I don't see how this will help. I mean even if a theory is popular, it doesn't change the fact that it's bad..

        .. like Caribou.

        I know you want a good thread with good discussions, but what will happen is one thread will be a spamming thread and the other one

        will probably not be very active especially if there is no new appearances for these characters.

        What is Oden saying to WB?

          No, what will happen is that you'll get 2 identical threads, which is kind of stupid.

          Seeking infinity, with all my affinities.

          Finding truth, like a falling fruit, my ultimate finality.

          Inside my being, the outside, all things; the finite leads the way.

            You'll just be splitting up bullshit to make more bullshit. Don't underestimate the tripe people can come up with on one character.

              The very problem with this is because idiots suggest and get hyped about goddamned everything to breathe on screen, so we'll have a ton of threads for every new nothing to have a line of dialouge.

                You mean we will make a Caribou for Nakama thread, a Jinbe for Nakama thread, Surume for Nakama tgread, insert character for nakama thread, etc. ?
                Hm…I don't think things will change much. Except for a tons of threads.

                  It would just promote a legion of "____ for Nakama Threads".

                  Fake Chopper for Nakama!
                  Caribou for Nakama!
                  That fish at the bottom right of this panel for Nakama!

                  We really don't need that.

                    … How do you know which theories are popular? If you are just looking for dominant ones, then it will invite spam in the general crewmate thread.

                    I can't see this being implemented reasonably, other then that, I am for it.

                        You want to create the two fronts of a war. Right now the different shippers sit in the same boat which keeps them from blowing it up. Give them two boats and they can fight each other to the death.

                        Mhmhmm… doesn't sound too bad. We might get rid of some people... Just kidding 😄

                                      Its fine as one thread. If you can come up with actual real reasons to support a specific character that can't be torn to shreds, then the valid arguments manage to stay in place and you can just bring them up.

                                      If its an idea that can't hold its own and gets torn apart immediately… then people shouldn't hold onto it, or attack it, so fiercely without support. The traffic the thread gets is based entirely on how people react to the theories presented, both the good and bad.

                                      The fact that you choose Caribou as his own example just proves to me that, no, "popular" theories shouldn't be separated.

                                      If you want, you can start betting your accounts on your choices if you really strongly believe them and its that important to you to be right and you think the story backs you up to that large a degree. Otherwise, just keep it friendly and realize that one theory with no backing is just the same as another.

                                      After the crew gets to Fishman Island and a few legitimate possibilities come up, ala Paulie/Franky back in the day, (Luffy says he wants to get someone new to join, characters with no place to go, flashbacks, helpful job sets, that aren't flat out murdering villains, etc.) the current thread might close and get a fresh start. But until then, I don't think so.
