Website Update #7

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Happy New Year 2009 everyone!

As we step into the new year, I’ve thought a lot about where the website is headed and how it’ll develop. I have no real plans to expand the website any further in terms of new functions or ideas, but we’ll stick with the old plan and I’ll keep adding reviews as I get to them. Noting the slow and surprisingly slim development of the Forums especially, I see no reason to expand beyond my means of maintaining the entire thing, and the room we have for it. On a daily basis we have close to a 1000 unique hits, yet they seem to be only fleeding passer-bys, and we’ve yet to create a nucleus of users. I must admit, the slim selection of reviews we have so far might attribute to this in a very huge way.

I’ll be adding a new review tomorrow for you guys to enjoy, and as a hint, the name starts with a G and has 2 words in it.

No other developments to tell you guys of. I checked the survey, but it seems it had closed up a bit earlier than I expected, or had not worked at all, so I didn’t have any accessible material to review. We’ll see if I’ll conduct a new one come Summer.

The Forum grows slowly, but steadily, yet people seem to only register and not post any comments or topics. I’d love to hear what you guys think and any constructive ideas would be great to hear!

Send me e-mails and comment on any thing on the website, if you wish!

2009 regards,

Website Update #6 - The Year 2008

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Hi everyone!

Man, it seems like only yesterday that the year 2000 hit - and we’re already going fast towards the first decade in the new millennium.

The year 2008 has really been a year of change for us at Anime Reviews. We went over a huge overhaul, not only in terms of looks with the new template, but also through the new hosting service we acquired closer to the end of the year. We’re still a bit in the transitional phase, but soon it’ll all be better. I’ve ironed out most of the bugs and issues we had, but some might still be lurking out there. I couldn’t have been happier with the hosting package we were given, not to mention the domain with it, so I’d like to warmly thank Lunarpages for giving us the opportunity to expand and grow as a website.

Added functions and better servers helped us grow the user limits, and a new and improved Forum helped shape a new Anime Reviews’ Community - which is ever growing and remember to join in!

I’ll add more material as the year changes, so be alert for that! I’ll also be looking more into as to what you guys want from the website and its content, so I hope most of you will help me with that later on. New reviews will be added in proper intervals, but also some new Columns might be looked into, as well as possible future Interviews with people who’re in the Anime scene. The year 2009 will be even better than ‘08, if all goes well!

I sincerely wish you all a Happy New Year 2009 from all of us here at Anime Reviews, and I wish all of your New Year’s declarations will hold and come true!

With great anticipation for the coming year,

- Lasak
