| Never stop being MAL. Talk about our site and our goals for our site on our own site, no that's crazy, let's go to someone else's site and talk about our site, way more convenient for the people on our site who's had questions for years. Right when you think someone can't screw something so simple up, they show you they can. |

Xinil said: what about the international community members? not everyone lives in the USA. 4pm PDT is 1am in Central Europe and 7am in the Philippines and 9am on the east coast of Australia. not everyone on MAL is a student with summers off nor is it summer everywhere. so much for the international community getting their voice heard.Hello MAL! I'm excited to announce that we'll be hosting a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) in /r/anime this Sunday. The thread will open at 4pm PST, and I and staff from the development side will be available to answer your questions from 5pm-6pm. Xinil said: Really? Reddit? You own and develop a forum site with it's own community and everyone has to go to a different site to ask you and the devs a bunch of questions about MAL. You live in California. That's like your local government hosting a town hall meeting in Las Vegas. If you're going to host a town hall meeting with your community then it should be done here on MAL whether than on a different website with no affiliation with us. But I already know your mind is made up about this.You may be wondering, "but why host on Reddit and not here at MyAnimeList?" We considered it, but we wanted to utilize Reddit's powerful community voting system to promote the most important questions. So please be sure to upvote the comments that are important to you! Xinil said: I'm not a member of Reddit so I won't be participating in this but I really hope you do something about the 20 second wait time on leaving comments on other people's profile. Even FB doesn't have a delay on writing on numerous timelines and their community is way bigger than ours.I'll make another announcement on Sunday with a link to the thread for those interested. Thanks! |

| Oh boy this is gonna be good. |

worldeditor11 said: How lovely, MAL members should already know Xinil is not the top dog anymore. The true MAL overlord will be the Japanese company currently owning the site (previously Crave). Blaming him instead of the company is like executing the translator in a peace negotiation with foreign countries. That's true, but we still need to express our discontent so the other side knows (if they even care). You might be talking about the comments directed specifically at Xinil though.

TripleSRank said: NaotoYShirogane said: If the joke can invoke Poe's Law so easily then it is probably a terrible joke to begin with. That's what makes it an amusing joke imo. I agree but I was more or less referring to that individual's apparent disappointment in expecting his joke to be taken as a joke and nothing more, which is naïve, given this website's track record. |

| I know this question is not going to be answered, but still. What makes you think that problems of MAL should be questioned on reddit? What makes you think that possible upvotes won't be from reddit users but from MAL users? Well don't worry, it actually will be funny and even more pathetic when the top question upvoted by reddit users will be "Why MAL sucks?" |
Baphomet said: "They" chose reddit because it's big and will generate a lot of interest, which will in turn generate a lot of visitors to MAL, some of which might stay. This is also why this site is turning into a facebook-like... thing. All for getting people to come and stay. Think in numbers, revenues and other economical terms. Suddenly, things are clearer. But it's also sad that the MAL API forums for example are left alone and nobody cares about them, and even contacting Xinil is impossible (IRC, MAL, anywhere) about questions in that topic while they are hunting for new users. It always saddens me when new users are way more important than the old guys :( |

| Let's do it. Edit; Never mind, don't give a **** about us Europeans. |

ImVoi said: TripleSRank said: While I like the idea of an AMA, hosting it on Reddit is a terrible idea. Do you expect the entirety of MAL that doesn't have Reddit accounts to move there for this? How do you know the current community's concerns will be addressed rather than mostly those of non-members? This is more annoying than reassuring. Because making a reddit account is hard? No, because you completly missed his point about non-members upvoting or downvoting our questions. Baphomet said: snip I know all these are grabbing new members tricks, I am frustrated because why reddit, lol? If anything it is one of the the biggest circle-jerk site I've ever seen. Any unpopular opinion gets shot down to depths of hell. They want us to ask questions and give suggestions, well go ahead make a poll in forums. Next "they" will start their own Youtube channel. |
| I miss the good old days when you had to wait 4 bloody hours for an anime to appear on the list. Now you can watch anime episodes directly here. I don't understand this site anymore. I use MAL just for the list and anime info. |
    |
| But... why? |
 |
| Reddit is on my shit list this week since they banned a whole bunch of subreddits. Don't give them more hits MAL! |

ImVoi said: vodall said: Even then, not every single question asked is guaranteed to get an answer. As is the case with most AMA's. vodall said: It's obvious that the site is only hosting it there for attention and advertising, which is fairly disappointing to those who actually care. The fact that almost all of the sub uses MyAnimeList means there'd be little incentive to do this for Advertising, we know there's a forum here aswell, but we choose to use /r/Anime instead and holding the AMA on the sub won't change this. It may attract some interest, but MAL isn't new to many of us at all. vodall said: they should get little to no preference or power over the people who participate here. I can only hope they change their minds and host it on-site. My guess is they want opinions of MAL from an outside source, they hear you guys' complain and voice your opinions on a daily basis (i can imagine) and want to see what other places for Anime discussion feel about MAL. We don't have much of a preference, nothing it stopping MAL users from showing on the day and asking their own questions. If anything, you guy's questions are more likely to be answered as they will be actually concerning the website itself whereas most of what we ask is likely to be unrelated to the website. Also, AMAs are kind of a "reddit thing" So it makes sense for them to hold it there. Nice to see someone speaking some sense. Not really sure why everyone is so anti-reddit. I understand the frustration in having an ama on another site instead of MAL but i think you pretty much nailed the reasons as to why in your response. |
 |
| Oh man... *grabs popcorn* |
| I like to be optimistic when it comes to these AMA on Reddit. Nice to see the MAL Overlords reaching out. |

ImVoi said: This is a pretty flippant, I don't see it as complaining, but rather feedback on ALL the features That have been taken away.. AND yet we get no reception for some of them. And yet they give us a Hour?? for things we are concerned about on ANOTHERR site? Okay I'll give them credit for their concern for the hour they give us.. When in reality they should be answering our questions on a daily basis and interacting with the users in this community.My guess is they want opinions of MAL from an outside source, they hear you guys' complain and voice your opinions on a daily basis (i can imagine) and want to see what other places for Anime discussion feel about MAL.

 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Oh dear....Reddit comments. |
 |
| I hope we don't just get answers to questions no one asked. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| I usually use reddit for porn but I'll check it out. |
 |
| sounds fun. |
| i'm scared but also excited |
 |
I can see........... A FLAME WAR incoming |

Shuhan said: I usually use reddit for porn but I'll check it out. Best response. |

| I'll check it out. |
| This'll be fun to watch. |
|
| We must help upvote the best question, like which one would you prefer Asuka from rebuild or the original. I prefer the original though without doubt the rebuild is equally hot, what do you think MAL staff? |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |

It always saddens me when new users are way more important than the old guys :( Not only the forums API but everything at the API side is retarded and security is a joke. you can easy obtain many passwords. What do I know about it? Well I am a co developer of an unofficial API for now around 2 years. I have seen things that the normal mal users wouldn't notice. Xinil never responds to my messages and kineta just keep apologizing. I am getting nowhere. 4 PM is just a joke. come on it is monday moring in europe then! I will try to participate and ask for a good excuse! Why is mobile support more important than website security. He maybe likes gore and SSJMaster ^^ |

Xinil said: Not that I have any Intentions of participating, but is it "4pm PST" aka Pacific Standard Time or is the Daylight Saving Time meant? Or in other Words: UTC Offset -08:00 or -07:00 (which makes Conversions much easier btw.)?Hello MAL!

Site rank? really? When MAL got hacked it was on #1, so we should hacked again for a even better rank XD http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2359524/https-sites-secure-ranking-boosts-in-google Just a Certificates should do something in rank but they chose for the hard way of writing mobile support :) |

| ^It's not me who's making the Decisions o.o Just pointing out the Main Reason why Mobile Support has been pushed instead of Security (because most Changes could just be reverted/rolled back). A good Ranking in a leading Search Engine is important after all and not having Mobile Support seems to down-rank a Site. btw.: I'd prefer HTTPS and better Security as well. |
azzuRe said: Your question fits so far; Thanks to reddits community so far one of the most upvoted question is "who's your best girl" and "what the team's favorite anime is" lolWe must help upvote the best question, like which one would you prefer Asuka from rebuild or the original. I prefer the original though without doubt the rebuild is equally hot, what do you think MAL staff? Well lets hope the voting lasts more than the hour, even then who knows how this will go. |

| I can see what everyone was worried about, posting this AMA on Reddit. One of the most upvoted questions is "why is everyone on the MAL forums hostile as fuck?". You wonder why MAL is dying? This is why. |
|
| Oh we get to ask the staff for personal information :o Guess that's a privilege than. |
 |
| So when exactly and on which sub? |
