You're getting this service for free. Stop bitching.
You know what other services I get for free? Police and fire protection, public restrooms.
Actually, you're paying for those. Taxes, bro.
Indirect paymet that is automatically deducted from my paycheck. I am also indirectly paying for MAL, a couple more steps are involved, but my payments for MAL are as concious and intentional as my payments for those.
This is a serious post. You're not allowed to delete it.

Oh, well as he only posted a useless link that gave no evidence whatsoever I was skeptical of the credibility, but looking more into it I see you are indeed correct, oh well, my point still stands in that it is a free service and this level of hostility is unwarranted.

*Shrug*


lol, the link shows how much great is the profit value of this site, whereas you credulously wrote

it's not like selling advertising to make money off users is their main goal


Learn 2 read :o


I find irony in someone saying "learn to read" without using proper spelling, haha.

But still, what do you mean by that, the advertising is obviously NOT their main goal, or there would be far more advertisements, the main goal is exactly what it says on the tin, a place for people to catalogue the anime and manga, and of course, forums, info etcetera.

Aaaanways, I made my point long ago and this is getting nowhere so I'll leave it at that.

Don't know about any claims of 'else there would be far more advertisements', but if I turn off adblocking, or have the misfortune to be accessing the site from a place with a browser that doesn't have adblocking, the flashing banners become a pain. That's how much 'free' this site is.

There are models to finance a website in a way that is open, fair to everyone, speedy (and mostly bugless), and above all completely devoid of advertisement -- that form is wikipedia and no one can disregard its success.

I'm sure this website has enough loyal followers to make such a model sustainable (though not profitable), but I'm also sure this is hardly on the mind of its owners.

Back on topic, what HAS been fixed?

Forums and being able to access parts of the site seem fine, although updating things still doesn't seem to be happening.

Editing things also seems to be down.

We don't rightly know, because "bitching about things doesn't help" apparently, despite the fact that this topic sure has got some attention.

It seems that MAL's policy is more oriented towards Facebook design, then actual Lists and Anime comunity.


Oddly enough, someone thought I was surfing Facebook when I was on the MAL page.

the site keeps logging me out very 5 minutes
every time I try to post I'm logged out
every time I go to the club I'm logged out
sometimes when I reply a comment in my profile I'm logged out
even now I've logged out 3 times before I could post this!
won't you get nervous if something like this happened to you?
If something like this would happen to a mod they'll fix it as soon as they can
if something like this happen to a normal member we should wait and wait and wait
it's 3 month I keep having this lag(and my cookies are on so don't tell me it's a cookies problem)
will you do something about it? Obviously NO
I love this site but all this lag are making me hate it
My MAL Family^^

LOL.

I think I press 'refresh' and 'back' the most when using MAL these days. That can't be right!

back off people, we liked it better with less people anyway, the large quantity of people is what kills in the first place =)

Now lets all be friends and sing a song

Most/All of the database issues have been resolved. Locking this thread.

We're not going to hell.

Messages will be back up in the 'hopefully' near future.
