Anime Free Zone Yahoo!Groups?!
Question: I had take an initiative to make a Yahoo!Groups for fellow anime lovers in C&A to ask question, reply and respond to the reply of their question.
You can chat around and ask questions there, without fear of your account getting deleted. The link to the group is here :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/animefreez...
Note that you will have to write a SHORT approval email to me, before you can post any questions, poll, etc. I have to do this to prevent spams. Just write your favourite anime and mention 5 characters in the same anime. (Hope spammer dont know what anime is about)
This way, we don't need to wait until Yahoo!Answer provide a special section for anime lovers to ask and answers questions, anime lovers don't need to lost any of their Y!A account, and people whose mileage may vary from anime lovers, can have questions about their genre visible for longer time.
Feel free to ask me, later.

Thank you!! I will definitely join!
Edit:
Just joined (membership pending). i don't know how many have taken you up on your offer, so it could be just the two of us jabbering back and forth!!
It might have been better to pick a different name for your group since "anime free zone" implies that the group is free of and from anime ("drug free zone," for comparison, means that the grounds are free from, and prohibit, drug usage, not that drugs are free at this locality), but that is probably a minor quibble. No matter what you are calling the group, it is a good idea to attempt to establish a place where anime lover can do as they wish, as long as what they do does not upset other anime lovers.
You will find that moderating such a group can be frustrating, but (hopefully) it should have compensations to make offset the responsibilities. You might want to consider that moderating an active Yahoo group is very much like milking cows: it needs to be done each and every day.
Don't expect one announcement to reach everyone you would like to reach, but don't be so blatant about advertising the group that you wind up getting announcements about its existence deleted. You might just want to respond to questions as you have been, but use the handy space for "source" links below, with perhaps a brief statement like "anime lovers might want to check the link below" at the end of every response you make to any question. You can write an explanation of the group on the main page of the group itself which would clue anyone in who follows the links.
I might consider joining myself, but I would probably hate about seventry-five per cent of the animes and manga the majority of the group will love, and you're trying to escape from that sort of conflict so there is no reason to take it with you.
I sincerly wish you luck with the new group.
