Hello everyone,
I’ve been pondering a whole lot about where the website is headed, and where the future will take it. I’ve seen very little growth over the time it’s been established since last October. The Forum hasn’t grown at all, with the exception of random users who just create an account, and a whole lot of potential spammers. This has left me in a pickle, whether there will ever be a real community, even after almost a half a year of being operational under the anime-reviews.info domain.
Also, I’ve been very slow regarding updates - partially because life’s been very hectic, and some issues with material. So part of the above problem has to be this. I feel that the Internet is full of review sites, especially regarding TV and movies. AR just wasn’t up to the challenge.
With this in mind, I’ll ponder whether to keep the site alive or not. From my point of view, it looks like a lost cause.
I hope I can come up with a solution, but as of now, Anime Reviews if on its last leigh. When the end will come, I cannot say, but one thing is for sure; after 4 long years of active and non-active existence, I figure we’ve finally gone as far as we can. After establishing a fan base, and losing it as quick as it came, we went ahead to get sponsored, in hopes of getting more exposure. This hasn’t resulted in the end I’ve seen, so I think it’s about time to call it quits.
This isn’t a definite decision, but it’s looking like this is it. I thank everyone who’s been reading the material - now and before - and I hope you got something out of it. We’ve had a great run, but this is as far as we’ll go. I wish everyone the best, and I’ll be sure to write a longer goodbye letter later.
Sincerely,
- Lasak
