 I know there'd be at least some of you out there who'd be bummed if this website went offline, as much as you don't want to admit it. So what would you do to try to stop this catastrophe? Start a petition? Send pleading messages to Xinil? Create or contribute to a Gofundme? Donate money in general? Become a mod to help out the community? Be more active on the forums? Or would you just sit back and watch it all burn like This is a thread for serious discussion so please keep any discourse as such. MAL is serious business after all. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| i'd export my anime list and move on... |
 |
| If it's shutting off. Let it shut off. I'm here for quality time. And as long as my entertainment is intact, I want it to provide me the best quality that it can and for that I work. Simple. |
| As hard as my dick is right now (not hard at all) |
 |
| export my lists + clubs + try to get contact info of every user i'm friends with or like |
| I'd become a mod and help out a bit but I don't think I'd do much more than that. |
 |
| I would watch it burn. That's what you for banning my beautiful quote towers. |
| Already, it's like all you peeps are on board the sinking Titanic and you're all just like "NOPE" and getting the heck out of there with everything you can lol. |
I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it |
| Export list, save list, change manually. To be fair if the site was shutting down I doubt becoming a mod will help even if becoming a mod were to occur which I highly doubt will ever happen. |
 hiSets Last FM Anime List Manga List Clue no. 2: Somewhere in one of the pictures in my forum signature. |
| I wouldn't do anything, I'm just too lazy. It's just a site/forum, though it would of course be a bummer because it's a great database. But I would just save my lists and live on with my life. Maybe even switch to hummingbird, lel. |
 |
| Export list, and pack up to leave. I don't think I could do anything noteworthy to save the MAL |
 |
| I would export my list to hummingbird Other than that I don't know |

 Sit back and just smile, Dont care about exporting my list tbh |
 |
| I have pretty much assembled most of my friends contact info here on MAL. Most of them are on IRC anyway so aside from that, i really couldn't care less about what happens to the forum interface or my list or my profile, what matters is staying in touch with my friends and those are very tightly categorized on my Skype c: The CD cancer trolls , the childish online drama, the circle jerking, the ignorance ... will not be missed. #VonVoyageMAL |
 |
| Export my list and migrate to other sites |
| Copy the site layout and all that, make my own mal copy cat and profit $$$$$ |
 |
| Do what I can here and there to help the site stay around, it wouldnt be hard to keep in contact with my friends or export my list, but I guess I've grown a bit fond of MAL. |

| Sign a petition that a MAL user made, that's about it. |
 |
Nigami_Shin said: i'd export my anime list and move on... yep and my manga list too then just look for an alternative site |
| I wouldnt, cash my chips and find somewhere else |
| I've been here way too long... |
| I wouldn't do much. Export my anime list, ask around which site the users of MAL will migrate to, and follow suit. |

| Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. -Walt Whitman A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein |
Nigami_Shin said: i'd export my anime list and move on... Seriously, I'd just leave. Fuck you guys. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| I'd give strong words of enocouragement to so that the site doesn't get shut down. Meanwhile, I'd move to Hummingbird just in case. |
| I wouldn't really care. There will always be a replacement. |
 |
| i wouldn't. maybe i'd ask some people for contacts outside of mal but that's it. |

| I already have my list copied into excel.. And someone would make an alternate MAL either straight away or some other day |

KD7BWB said: The user personal list, often contains personal information. It doesn't belong to MAL, because there is a 2-year U.S. copyright on all personal invention. You cannot sign this away. So, if I leave, how do I get the User MOD to erase everything I've ever written from the site? This includes comments about anime or manga I may have written, reviews, recommendations; and any entries in any Clubs I may have joined, or any posts I may have made in any forum? I OWN THIS STUFF. Period. Not debatable. Looks like someone didn't read their user agreement before signing up :/ OT: I personally have an account on multiple websites like MAL, but personally like the database it has here. Haven't been a part of the community here really so no comment that, but for all the information stored here alone its worth saving imo. Plus I like the overall profile design and customization here. There are so many sites that don't let you use signatures or customize your list the way MAL does. |
 |
| I'd back up all my lists and then i'd sign a petition. Maybe donate a small amount and if that fails then hope a similar site pops up cause i love this site, its very convenient. |
| I'd be pretty sad if it did. I like it here :'( Though I wouldn't be able to do anything. |
| Somebody else would just pick it up so why bother caring so much? You know someone would. |
| As long as the list function still works I'll be fine, I don't really care about the community and even if the list function stops, there are other listing sites. So yeah I wouldn't do shit. |

 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| Same hellhole but with everybody burning their underwear. |
| I wouldn't care that much. I like this site, but I wouldn't go out of my way to save it lol. It'd probably be better for me so I could be less distracted. |

| I don't even work hard for shit that matters, there's no chance i'd make an effort to save this site. |
