My Idea; My Plan for the new "Aboxcafe"

This is only a idea and it is subject to change. I am open to suggestions, but I have a clear idea what we should do. If you are suggesting something that has no relation to my idea, then I suggest propose your own idea.

I have been thinking a lot about what went wrong with the old AB and the one thing I can up with was that we didn't provide anything new. Yes, there was a community of people that stuck together, but that was it. New members were hard to come by and they often left quick. There was no incentive to stay and participate.

This lead me to an idea that I believe can make AB very successful. As most realize, the internet is becoming a place to share ideas, stories, pictures, etc...Therefore, the internet is a place built by the users. People are flocking to sites that allow them to do these things. And at the front of this surge on the internet is sites that welcome user generated content. People want to interact with news, show people cool links they found, and show their artwork off. However, a forum has become to stagnant for that. Things don't change fast enough and it really isn't an efficient way to discover new information.

I base a lot of my idea's off of Reddit. This site has grown emensly in the last year or two. How come? Simple because people are sharing new ideas, and discovering new information all the time. It changes with the trends in the internet, because it has nothing to provide except a platform for people to mold it into what they want.

So a forum is great for discussions, but it in a way is a fading part of the internet. Something that served a purpose, but is now being replaced by a more efficient and easy to use solution.

So my idea:

I suggest we work hard and find a way for us to create a site that caters to people sharing news, ideas, pictures, and most importantly...knowledge. Of course it will be about Anime/Otaku Culture. I just think we have to think outside the box to make a site that is unique and will grow.

Also, this idea stems from a idea I had about a news aggregator. Instead of producing links for the user, let the user produce links they think are interesting.

What do you think?

Actually, what I like about Reddit is the idea that its all user generated content. On top of which it allows people to create their own communities on the site. So, for example, We had people who like Anime. Then they can create their own sub communities. The ideas are endless.

This project might be hard and require a lot of planning, but if we are serious about this then we can do it.

I actually found the code to reddit.

I think it would provide a really unique way to discover new anime and allow user interaction. Users could even provide awesome content.
