It's extremely inferior to MAL in every single way.
I honestly don't even see a point in switching at all, unless all my bros on MAL switch then I'll switch, but that'll never happen.
Ironic how the users that get banned constantly on MAL are mods at that site.

Well Tavor and Artstyle are mods. I believe users who are banned here do go there to at least play until their ban is over. Neanne, Yorozuya Ginsan, Feels, and TheAsap, so far though TheAsap has always been a regular over there.

Hmm they probably believe that, like facebook, the custom banner (and avatar) was more than enough to personalize your page. And personally, I'm on that boat too. But maybe they should add some minor personalization options, although I'm not sure if even color schemes will mesh together well, since the list is integrated into your profile rather than on a separate page, and because they have such a clear aesthetic that they're aiming for.

Sounds like it's just a shithole where kiddies who get butthurt from MAL bans run to. It's like all those shitty wannabe 4chan's people keep making when they get banned and think they'll somehow sink moot and become the next big thing. Then, oops, they find out why everyone there was banned and the whole place is just full of garbage shitting on itself, not to mention favoritism reigns supreme in those sorts of places.

Just chat on the forum a little or by comments, you kind of get used to the forum. I like the quote system(I've uploaded hundreds already). And since I can change my pic and stuff right away, I use it as an outlet for all the avatar and sig ideas I can't use here.

Yeah I believe that's what they are thinking, I don't like the default look though, so it's more painful to see it everywhere. I think there should at least be something on the side. Their lists feel huge, each entry is thick and the whole thing takes like 20 seconds to load.

Yeah, everything on general feels huge there, especially the feed and forums. I hope that they just do a universal font size and line spacing reduction. However, I quite like the default look tho.

Hah, my completed list only takes like 1-2 secs to load, but then again, it's only like 1/6th of how much you have ._.". But yeah, some optimizations definitely need to be made.

Yeah and there's some sort of problem with my firefox or something. Everything is like double sized for me I believe. Could be something wrong with their code. I believe they have changed something with their font lately, the font type.

Yeah that could be a factor *shifty eyes*. It's still in beta so I'm still trying to keep an open mind with this stuff.

Basically this. ^

I get that they want the layout to be stylish (in contrast to MAL's being old fashioned and outdated, which I don't see anything against though) but it's ridiculously uncomfortable to navigate.

Also, it just simply doesn't have that devilishly strange creepy charm that MAL has.

I won't go there unless MAL dies.

I would have to disagree there, for my case that is. Over time, I found myself questioning why I even enjoyed MAL in the first place. The answer? Because I thought it was amusing to "troll" or generally be an asshole on the forums (which you could say I balanced that by filing lots of reports). However, that started to run dry as I eventually felt too jaded being immersed in the community; wasn't a feeling I wanted to harbor for much longer (basically, my MAL forum avatar sums up what I felt like on the forums). Instead, I'm finding myself a lot more relaxed and easy going on the other "side" of the anime community.
Not to say I've regretted my time spent on MAL, as of course I've gained some MAL buddies here and there and still talk to them, I just don't prefer it on MAL much anymore.
When presented with someone that is able to have full control over his or her website and keeps it regularly updated, it's hard not to find it appealing over the one that... well, you know the story.

Anyway, just wanted to clear up that the bans had little to do with not favoring MAL as I can tell you all straight up front, those bans were indeed justified for my rash behavior of how I viewed the MAL forums as a playground to stir shit. If anything, I'm thankful for those bans because I did eventually get the message that just because the community is shaddy, doesn't mean I should contribute more shit to it. Though, I rather just not be a part of it overall.

You actually either have to pay me off - or kill me - to shut me up. Personally, I'd love to be on the "I don't care" camp; but someone has to be vocal about it, or it'll make things easier for people like you to oppress other's opinion's about it with the religiously and zealously indoctrinated one-line statement.

Hummingbird is >>>>>>>>MAL. I use both for the community, but Hummingbird has a friendlier community, nice pictures and quotes, a news feed thing to follow what your friends are doing, has the ability to let the site editors know what you want and they actually listen, have added anime influenced titles to the database, and are planning on not only adding manga, but also visual novels to it.

I much prefer Hummingbird.

ugh , news feeds reminds me of twitter... which is a bad thing. And no manga, means its already not as useful. Finally I don't want anime influenced titles with my anime, they can stay with what ever cartoon list database website is relevant.

I can see you're somewhat of a MAL fanboy. I think holding mindless allegiances to any site -- any product, any thing -- is stupid, and in fact a trait that must be addressed in order to attain world peace.

With the MAL hacker problem I've been on Hummingbird for a while and I have to say, their List has everything I wish MAL had. Rewatch counters, Avatar, good tags, private options. The layout looks great and the review format is excellent. Best part is the recommendation engine. It's absolutely spot-on. But the forums are a joke. I always wondered why MAL didn't allow listing threads "just give the people what they want" but my god it's boring. And the layout is completely unpractical. Once it's fully functional and most of the features that they want to implement are actually there, there's a good chance I'll use HB as my anime listing thingy.
