it was a DDos attack and literally had rebuild the website from scratch and get it running again like it was before the attack happened it took weeks a couple of months if i remember correctly. 

Again, why there are no advanced programmers to secure the site of such attacks from that? It is a mtstery. Especially if there WERE NUMEROUS ONES before.

Truly true!
It’s cool that Shikimori has a large selection of anime. 
And it’s also modern, and you don’t have to worry about hacking... probably

I hope so too. Now I have to update my lists here from Shiki.



Your deadass actually expects a free to use website to be maintained by a professional team? LOL the modern generation really be full of self entitled folks

The only thing we need to understand here is you need to grow up and stop whining like a spoilt child. Dont like it go find another free option.

It could have been worse.  I lost around an entire week of posts on a forum that was hacked last year and the admins there don't seem to care about maintaining their forum since most of them aren't active and some of them haven't even logged in for years.
Well that’s how it is as passion projects. People grow up and have no more time to maintain forums pro-bono. Sad but we have to live with it

Dude its the biggest anime list site on the internet and you can't defend yourself from a cyber attack? thats just sad. Glad i made a backup list on anilist few days before it happend because i got REALLY tired of this awful review aka hate system.

Better moderation, , WAY better review system ,better search system and WAY less toxicity.

I've been here for 13 years and site gets only worse each update.
If you’re that old you should also know the programming language MAL is using is as old as you, but clearly you dont understand the IT implications of that so go back to anilist lol. Though ive been seeing the posts here that anilist has toxic mods o_O

Got banned just this week for saying "delete propaganda coming from X countries from anilist". For context it was in their "unpopular opinions / hot takes" thread, which means "post something controversial".

I've had an account here for years and it has been hacked several times. Now I'm thinking of migrating to another site because this does happen so much. I can't even understand why anyone would hack such a site unless it is people paying for things on here. I think if they hacked it for the reasons I read then that's silly.

Me too, I also plan to leave this site if attacks will happen again, also why they don't take ANY actions to prevent and defend the site in general, it is a mystery for me.
Yes, I may leave before it happens again. Yes exactly! They should be taking action. That guy who wrote the second comment and got removed was right! If they aren't proper web devs who know security then they need to hire one! I remember when it got hacked a lot when Xinil was in charge, always by the same person too.

Ye, that's the thing, people will always cry about something but without own prior knowledge or skills. Cyber attacks are kinda "common" thing and I am shocked that MAL doesn't have more issues, as it's the "biggest anime list site on the internet". 

Regarding anilist, it has not only toxic mods but also the community around it. Racist/xenophobic behavior is kinda normal over there also as protecting some weird levels of their standards and "moral behavior", if you will... Also some of the anilist functions are crap and they don't even have some anime or manga/manwha pieces. I can imagine using it maybe as backup (no, I won't, lol) but I can't see those nice different things every anilist snowflake is talking about. Not only that site is crap (well, is pretty fast, must admit that, nice code) but also has one of the worst community and mod team I've ever met on the internet. Imagine grown adults behaving as special snowflakes, censoring everything that isn't in their point of view and community being toxic over every opinion you or someone else might have. So I am sorry, but I see no reason anybody sane would use Anilist as their main service for anime/manga/manwha list. 

But the funny part is, that you can spot those snowflakes promoting Anilist everywhere they can but at the end of the day you still catch them wandering over here, adding new pieces to their lists, being active in this community... I wonder why... Maybe Anilist isn't that super nice place to be? Who knows... :)

Pretty sure all the posts from you with sheer ignorance about cybersecurity counts as complaining/being whiny. “2 days is too long” this is not critical infrastructure like banking or internet service by any means lmao check your stupid ego at the door. If anything they have better peformance than some Asian infrastructure services I know of…

Honestly the internet and forums were better places to hang out when I was 16. Now almost 15 yrs later too many people get to use the internet but without the braincells and manners. And like all these kids they want free shit at high quality like the kids in my day who felt they were entitled to free lossless music and 1080p anime from piratebay. why am I not surprised at their low quality behaviour.

Most of the time I dont really expect anything substantial after their initial posts because they’ve already shown their hand.

Who is brat here? I am older than you. And again, don't project your conclusions to other people, it is wrong. I state the obvious fact. If you want to see such attacks in future, it is your right.

Oh, yes. Thank you for setting all these brats right. All this cr*p is dang obnoxious. I support every line you wrote here. Although, paying does not give more rights, like you are not more equal than the other simply because you throw more money, right? But i get your meaning. 50% of posters here behave like spoilt brats, everywhere. I am glad there was someone to say some necessary wisdom amongst all this trash. Man, i really can't take all these people who 'demand' things as if the world should prostrate themselves before their all-mightiness. I see that MAL was bought was a japanese company. Bro, considering their usual ways, if some japanese person were to read such threads, they would be shocked, and won't fail to notice how this world is indeed going down the drain.

Well, obviously, this is only how i see things personally and i can't exactly claim to hold every truth in the world, right? But for all that is worth, who is the brat you ask? My answer would be: You. Your age has nothing to do with anything. There are plenty of entitled people in this world who grow up with no one to adress their sh*tty behavior, and they simply get more convinced over time that they are well worth it anyway. So, behaving like a spoiled brat has nothing to do with the age of your flesh. It should be obvious that simply by 'demanding' stuff like you do -stuff that you don't really comprehend yourself, and without doing any preemptive studying in order to comprehend it before speaking- won't make your tantrum any less worthless. Is that how a proper adult behaves in your country? Gosh... that sucks. Hope you are not my neighbourg.

And bro, just to say. I am not a kid anymore myself. Admittedly, i haven't watched an anime in a year, but i still come here, and i was born in 1980. Were you born before or after? Who cares? I have met kids 20 years older than me, and adults 20 years younger. But if you feel good promoting your entitlement to us by using your age as a shield, then know that it only emphasizes your immaturity even further.

Now, it is not only you obviously. I have seen worse in this thread. I merely answer you in particular because you wrote a lot of different comments to complain about the same things, and because of the line i quoted, which is... simply embarrasing. Get yourself straight. One can never shed criticism that adresses their shallowness by using even more shallow lines like this one.

If you’re at least 30yo and you still act this stuck up and self-entitled, I feel very sorry for the parents indeed.

Guess we have a manchild here then?

I insulted no one. I never insult anyone. This is what those who have nothing to say do. And i happen to be talkative, so i have no need for insults. You simply consider that anyone who dare criticize or disagree with you insults you. Disagreeing with your righteous (if uninformed) views is a crime to you. That is childish. Which basically supports everything i was saying. And yes, i knew it was pointless to try and explain it to you. Still, i had to try, for posterity.

(reply function isn't working: I'm replying to StyxParadise)

some people posted about it on reddit but insofar there is no explanation. with the site barely working, useful stuff having been removed in the past years (like staff comment section), and the only people friending me being spammers, it's getting hard to justify using the site. not to mention the fact that MAL connects to, according to the uMatrix browser extension, 37 third-party URL's, including 14 google ones, and at least 16 ad-related URL's. that's more than twice the amount of the second place (kitsu) - statistics concerning the home page of those sites. I was thinking about using some other website but... I think we can all agree that all the other sites have awful UI's, anilist included (I get eye strain from using it, on either dark or light mode). MAL, on that regard, is simply the best one. might as well go for an offline list, I guess.

No. You still don't get it. I am not disrespecting you. I am trying to say things in the simplest way possible. What i say is: any opinion or position is fine, AS LONG as it is based on actual facts, knowledge, and proper research. Opinions based on prejudice, ignorance, and hearsay are not opinions. Instead, it is what we call the 'mob effect', responsible for many modern plagues, like for example, the 'Twitter Justice' phenomenom. And it is nocive. Hence why i try to adress it now.

Meaning, if you are going to spend that much time writing complaints about something in particular, you should spend even half this time studying the matter at hand beforehand, so that when you write your post, you can contribute things that are actually useful, full of insight AND based on reality, rather than spreading hearsay, rants and vague impressions based on void.

As a user of these fora, i believe it is both my right and my responsibility to point out certain behaviors. Because as a user, i am partly responsible for the contents one can find here. And so, i won't back down.

You posted 5161 times in a mere two years. You are everywhere. I can't ignore you, even if i wanted to. You are the one who won't let people alone. And there is not even a blacklist here. If you won't care about what you post, at the very least, stop inflicting upon me 2500 posts a year, and maybe i will be allowed to 'leave you alone', too. It is a monologue simply because the wall i throw the ball to is cheese. Full of holes. And this is not my responsability, only yours. Complain all you want again. Though this is my last post to you. There are limits to fighting useless battles. I wish you will remember the nagging me and Xia when someone nags you again someday.
