Subpyro said: julyan said: Wrong. Xinil didn't. Xinil doesn't own MAL anymore since he sold it to Crave in 2008. So, ultimately, he is to blame. Whether it is his actions directly or not, it is his legacy, and that's toward where criticism is usually aimed. If we're going to talk about legacy, then perhaps I should start blaming my ancestors from way way back for how shitty my country has now become. I certainly can't blame the current generation for not doing better. Or for a simpler example, maybe blame all the wrong things I've done in my life to my parents and insist I am merely a product of their poor upbringing. (aka parental fallacy) Unless it is a direct cause of Xinil's actions, then I won't blame him for whatever Crave, DeNa or some other partner company does to MAL. Similarly, I won't praise the Wright Brothers for whatever innovation brought to modern aviation. They laid the foundation and that's it. @everyone: If you still want to continue to blame Xinil because you think he is the root cause of this, go ahead, I can't change someone's opinion that easily. However, please try not to make it seem that all of these current developments/changes in MAL are his own decisions. With that said, I rest my case. |

julyan said: Even though a crucial part of my post was removed by _Ghost_ with the reason being baiting, allow me to write it again as I fully disagree with that judgment: "I thought you were smarter than trying to fight that" I am not an irrational person that would blame people for actions they are not responsible for as it stands. However, you are being irrational for trying to fight reason into others' heads. It's futile effort. The part you've quoted was merely an intro into my message's meaning. Let me remind you, though, that Xinil is still marked as "Everything" in the staff showcase: http://myanimelist.net/about.php?go=team If you want to bring a change of vision, start with the static introduction and image. |

| I hope I'm wrong but I think this is where the MAL we know will start going down. The same thing happened with Gamespot, which was once an excellent community/user friendly site, but once the site got big enough and came under the ownership of big fishes, it became commercialized. The forums went dead, the Gamespot Union system collapsed, user reviews system went down the gutter (just like it is beginning to on MAL), editorial freedom and creativity eroded, and the whole site changed beyond recognition. I hope I'm wrong and the same thing won't happen to MAL. |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
Risara said: ACJ plans to increase the number of titles accessible through MyAnimeList as embedded video or hyperlinks; however, the videos will not be accessible from Japan. So this is why I can't access Daisuki.net. what a bummer As i said before if it can't cater to ALL then it shouldn't be here. And japan wonders why piracy is still a thing :|. No offense intended.

I completely agree with that point. If you guys don't want us to keep getting angry at xinil for stuff you "claim" isn't his fault then don't have him listed as the "Administrator". An administrators job is to run the site and if he is letting someone else do it he shouldn't even be listed as the admin let alone everything. |

| All of the shows were available for me all the time tho (Finland). |
 |
| So i just tested the new Gundam Show over at Daisuki, and it actually works. Seeing how i live in Germany, this is a big surprise, even some German/EU productions (can't even use BBC to watch the Eurovision song contest, which is (partially) financed by tax. Tried it one when i was curious) are locked *in* Germany. Given that, i totally understand people being far from happy of adiding such a ..feature..to the site. |
