Honestly I'd prefer UEMB being the defacto "unofficial" ASMB. I don't want the official boards back.

It would be pretty cool if you were to intern with them though!

Those are good points, but also the anonymity (AS is very well known and you can "accidentally" "out" yourself to people you know irl there, there is basically 0 chance of that happening here), there is no filter dodging required...

I sent them a letter once, too.  Never replied.  It was even the letter Z.

Should have sent them something exotic, like with a tilde or umlaut.

Good luck on the intern thing. Hope you like being abused and not getting paid for it because those are the two main requirements to intern there.

As for the boards, chances are they pooped the bed so badly over the years of being negligent board-parents that they couldn't bring back the old boards. Sort of like how ASA is practically a vomit inducing swear word with some but Toonami brings all the boys to the yard. Their only hope would be to sponsor an independent board like here but have the least amount of say possible as to it's upkeep and marketing choices so they couldn't do the same shit they did on the old site. In short, they can pay to keep the lights on and pimp it as a place to converse about any and all topics while occasionally posting something of theirs that they'd like to promote in the proper areas but they wouldn't get to make any of the rules or sell space for ads or basically do anything that would make them direct money at the costs of an entire posting community.

///> yes on my 6th birthday day one  i decided to stay up all night and it was worth it , got in trouble at first grade when i talked about a show where this girl shot a black guys foot off ( ghost in the shell and he wasnt black i was 6 and it was 4 in the morning ) and when i would curse at school thinking it was appropriate since i heard it on tv ./

Yeah. I swear "adult" animation is much more concerned with appealing to kids than it is to appealing to adults  over 30.

I actually had a big rant in the rants folder a while ago that got very, very little response that included this observation with much more detail. But in that rant I couldn't say I had been in contact with someone who fell in love with Adult Swim at the age of 6.

I will give you that some shows on AS, especially in the early days, were good for not insulting your intelligence. And like you mentioned, Ghost in the Shell was one of the best examples.

But over the years I've grown tired of adult oriented animation because there's just too much focus on sex, toilet humor, and gore. When you're a kid you love seeing this stuff. As an adult in my mid 30s, I'm jaded to it and it no longer entertains me very much. I think AS is turning a positive corner with shows like Rick and Morty, Mike Tyson Mysteries, and Ballmastrz 9009 though. Of course all those tropes are still there, but there's a lot more to those shows' appeal besides those three things.

The only adult cartoon that I wasn't allowed to watch THAT young was Beavis and Butthead, but of course I watched it. By the time South Park rolled around, I think I was like 13 or 14. Still arguably too young, but not as bad as 8.

Oh, on a side note about the Boondocks... One year me and my parents were vacationing with my aunt, uncle, and young cousins in the mountains. I was in my 20s, so I could watch what I want, but I still want to be mindful about not poisoning my little cousins' minds with inappropriate TV. In my aunt and uncle's vacation house, they chose a very odd design that I don't think they really thought through: There were no doors to my two cousins' rooms. There were doorWAYS, but no doors to close. I always thought that was a huge mistake, as they may have both been ok with that then while they're little, but you think they'll want to come vacation where they have zero privacy in their teens? Anyway, during this trip my sleeping place was the living room couch. I had long since made it a nightly ritual to fall asleep to AS on TV. But then I ran into a problem: The Boondocks was on. What if my little cousins (they're both adopted, one is definitely white, the other is a slightly darker shade, I have no idea what race he is), with their door-less bedrooms right next to the TV, hear all the n-bombs and think they can go and just drop n-bombs all over the place. Like I just can't live with that guilt, I had to switch the channel when the Boondocks was on, lol.

They do take interns, but only if you have mad artistic ability and awareness of filmmaking etiquette and skills for the job.

I had a friend who interned there. He said the application process was like a competition, more so than most places. But the environment is very laid back as far as how seriously things are taken, as long as you know what the fuck you are doing.

Edit: I don't know why I'm replying to a month old thread, but fuck it.
