The Future Of The DBZ Web Community

The DBZ web community has faced a rapid decline in recent weeks, and I think it’s clearly obvious to anyone, Webmaster or regular fan, that if this keeps up then there will be no hope left for quality DBZ sites on the internet.

Recently we have seen a fall of a few of the greatest DBZ sites due to bandwidth costs, and various other reasons such as the fantastic DB3K, and the legendary Dragon World. Planet Namek is another one who are striving to avoid this terrible fate, and barely managing it so far. They’ve had to remove pretty much all of their multimedia, making the site far less attractive content wise, although more compact and less space absorbing, what with the bandwidth restrictions and all. Whilst Planet Namek is still probably the best site on the web even without its media, it’s a tragedy that this fantastic source of news is struggling to stay afloat.

If this could happen to the experienced, well-handled sites, then I guess it could happen to any of them, including ours. This is seriously bad news for Webmasters, because advertising revenues have been low lately, and cannot cover the increasing cost of bandwidth on the server.

In case I’m moving too fast for some of you, the term bandwidth can be defined simply as the amount of megabytes, or in some cases gigabytes, that is downloaded from a server. This is forecasted in daily amounts, and if it gets too high then you have to pay extra money for it, which is a huge disadvantage of having a popular site. If you comprehend the situation with bandwidth, then you can be more understanding of why so many sites have shut down or withdrawn their multimedia.

With so many disappearing DBZ sites from the Internet, one must wonder which direction the future on the online community will go. There are many great sites still available to check out, and most of them still attain their original multimedia, but regrettably if the circumstances become anymore dire, these may go too.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to jinx the fate of some of the top sites, I’m merely stating the facts. Hopefully enough of the DBZ greats can stay afloat long enough to provide quality service though, and I’m sure that with enough hard work it’ll be possible.

Whilst the bandwidth issue may be the main reason for DBZ sites having to close down, it is not the sole factor. People have become bored with DBZ, or less interested in it, some have developed personal problems, or time-consuming social lives (I’m talking about being out all day, ever day, not just for a few hours like a lot of people are). These are overshadowed by the biggest issue though, which is annoying fans.

A lot of webmasters have either temporarily quit, or completely given up on their site due to obnoxious fans submitting stupid, pointless, and insulting e-mails which are unconstructive and a complete waste of everyone’s time. The Webmaster’s have grown tired of this, and decided to stop working hard to produce content for these arrogant, self-centered sods. It is because of these people that the community has so rapidly declined, and if you’re one of those you should be horrifically ashamed of yourself, you’ve let a lot of others down.

There may be a lot of reasons, as already mentioned, for a DBZ site to shut down, and quite often it happens, although this doesn’t mean to say there is no hope in the future for the DBZ web community. Webmasters will have to work a lot harder, and hopefully can achieve new levels in terms of quality, whilst still keeping their site up. It is definitely possible, if not probable that the vast majority of the DBZ sites will make it through this tough, wallet-destroying time, and go on to flourish amongst the other great internet websites.

Hopefully the DBZ community’s future will be a thriving prosperous one, and in my opinion there is a good chance of this happening as long as the foul-mouthed criticizing jerks can keep their idiotic opinions to themselves.
