Browsing through various anime forums, mostly with the intention of joining a few. The problem seems to be that if they're not filled with grumpy "in my time" snobs, they're filled with sparkly-text kids.

I honestly have no objection to the sparklies as such. Everyone's free to sparkle away, but not when it causes a problem with the page. Line-breaks and all that.

If only... :\

Also: Icon love.
