Late reply, sorry. Stuff.

Hmm, we don't really have a background now. There was one before because it was what in web design jargon is called "fixed" (width is static) instead of the current "fluid" (width expands in accordance with screen size) layout. There's only the banner/header. Changing it is technically just a matter of changing one or maybe two lines within the code, yes. It's... a matter of willpower, really. (Plus, none of us have bothered to design a new one. I did sometime back, but I wasn't happy with the result and shelved it.)
yep I watched the game too, was a great game!

Watching Raiders vs Cowboys now.
New England beats Pittsburgh 27-24

Wow! I can't describe the last two minutes!

THAT'S how the very best teams play the game!
OIC. =\ Just curious because we haven't seen a new forum background for quite some time now.

By the way, I see that the only difference between current forum skins is the header images. Is changing the header image as easy as giving it a new link?
Can't promise I'll notice something that shouldn't have been overlooked, as I have a problem with that myself. I'll take a look later.

From my perspective, since I'm not actually really good with web coding and design, I'll just say yes. Each given page contains an array of small, separate elements, and it can be overwhelming if you're not sure where to start. (That's the main problem for me. If I were given exact guidance to change a, b, c and make x, y, z, I might find it easier.) The amount of work is pretty high. The individual elements, though, are pretty easy to make if you know some Photoshop basics.

For the experienced web designer, I'd wager it's not really hard as they're already given a framework within which to work and thus don't have to fuss over ideas too much, making them able to focus better. That doesn't mean the amount of work that needs to be done gets any lighter, though.
You’re always welcomed to make comment. There might be something I actually overlooked.

In addition, the typos. =\
I agree. You could perhaps write an entire paper about that; best not get there this early. Likewise, I won't comment on new additions to your thread unless asked; I'll assume everything is WIP otherwise.

Ah, I just noticed that too. Moved.
And, er, I just realized that I put the thread in a wrong forum.

Could you move it to Japanese lesson subforum?
おー。

About katakana, I agree but I don't want to go into too much detail about situational usage at this beginner's stage, so I'll simply say for now that it's possible to write native words in katakana and I'll explain it while walking through a game.
Thank you very much for uploading what I have requested! You are the first one who uploads it!
I will revamp the document today and hopefully I can finish the wiki template too.
Atleast translating you fav H game is a good direction for you XD Can't imagine we start translating Sarai no Me or Goku. That will be more challenging!
Thanks for your lot of contribution again :D
I'll try to translate at least a few pages per day, so I should have some progress done before the end of the year.
Still, learning that way leaves much to be desired, as you lack any kind of direction in which you want to follow. Insted, you just kind of go with the flow of things and learn only what you need at the moment.
I WAS studying it, but only for a semester. I learned the basics on my own, baby steps style.
May I ask something ? Where did you learn Japanese from ? Is this what you're studying at college rn ?
Hello my good fiend Frank.
Yeah, I don't usually go full throttle right away. I understand not everyone appreciates that kind of correction.

About the screenshots, yes, in my view it'd help people navigate easier if they understood what each menu item meant. Some menu options like はじめから and つづきから are always intuitively placed, but things like おまけ may not always be. After all, playing eroge isn't just the means, it's the end in and of itself.

About tiered kanji... I'll be honest, I don't know if there's any surefire way to learn kanji, as I didn't find any. Most electronic dictionaries use the WWWJDIC database, and the Gakken kanji dictionary it contains provides references for orders and classifications and stuff. You're better off using a tool that already parses the database, though. My personal favourites are Jisho.org (click on the dropdown menu next to the search bar) and zKanji, which has this neat interface:
You'll likely also need to explain at least a bit about the different nuances between kanji/katakana/hiragana use and why the same word is sometimes written in kanji, sometimes in hiragana, sometimes in katakana. (For example, a transwoman whose physical appearance is still very much male may refer to herself as アタシ in katakana.) In any case, I strongly advise against tiering based on your own feelings. There are so many of them it's not even funny.

There are also some neat tips on the EDRDG homepage that hosts WWWJDIC (see the appendices). Don't present the page as-is, though. It's too daunting for beginners.
