I know I`m certainly not being paid. I do all this out of the kindness of my heart.

Seriously though - what I know is that Kudo is sort of the top mod (possibly first mod?) and there is email contact between Kudo and Eki. Eki is the one who promoted us to mod status, but Kudo is the one who made the selection.

I get the feeling that Eki is the financial backing but that is about it.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

Maybe it's a secret plot of assassination that we don't know who owns JF. That's probably why a lot of members recently left or aren't as active... Ever think of that?


Thanks for reading!

This is all very interesting, maybe this is all a big conspiracy, maybe we should come up with a members think-tank to solve this! Haha :P




Was it something I said? Whatever it was, I didn't mean it. I haven't meant anything I've said for years. Except what I just said. I think

That surprises me as well.

Moderators are corrupt, a damnation to human logic.
Topics are pointless, a condemnation to subject.

A server like this would costly roughly $50 a year, or something along them lines.

How does Japanforum survive?
Well, it has you, a fellow Japanese enthusiast.


No joke about the shait moderators though.

@zed: The forum was created at the beginning of 2006/end of 2005. It's still a baby.

So here is a brief history:
It didn't start being very active until Sep. 2006 (I have no idea why)
I have been a member of this site since Oct. 2006. I became a mod a few months later.
The first mod on here was Vesperd, and then Kudo right after him.
Kudo took the job as Eki's voice and seems to be the only one who can contact him.

Every time I tried to make contact over the years I only ever received a couple of replies back.

Eki only seems to show up to inform us of some sort of change to JF, or to announce the new mods. Eki is the only one (who is active) who can make mods.
So basically the workings of the forum are even a mystery to the mods. I'm assuming ShinjukuEki owns the forum and operates it with a select few.

One thing I do know is that ShinjukuEki's account on here is shared by multiple users.

thanks for the info I think is a smart strategy if they keep it to themselves, the only thing I care is that the forum is doing ok.

I was away for 15 days and only checked it out for short periods of times mostly to see if it was still there because I've been in forums that dont last or die too soon, and I like this one mostly because there are always people conected and it has good topics.
I also like that the mods are active, in other places they just dont care.

I hadn`t realized that I`d been on here since so near the beginning. Wow, only a forum month younger than you... I hadn`t really noticed. Although I do think I vaguely remember you being made a mod.

From the sky, To the ground
Rain is falling all around
Thunder rain and wind
A song of storms begins

Play a song, A melody
Then everybody will see
The hero of time
Has come
