 Only 90s adults will remember this layout Hey hey hey my guys, hey hey hey my girls, by request of a certain guy (@hoopla123 ( ˘ ³˘)♥), it's now time for a new thread where people come together to reflect how they changed (anime and manga wise), how much they watched/read, how their tastes changed or even how their MAL in general changed Just search your profile url into the wayback machine (And hope it saved your profile back on the day) If you changed your username you'll have to search for your older username, the site saves urls, not you the individual you're not important "But Mkim sama kun fuk, I'm a new user so I can't enjoy the magics of going back to the past to kick those shitty games well first of all new user-shi, you're new so don't even dare comment on my thread, get out of here cry me a river and any complaints you got you can send em here: https://myanimelist.net/mymessages.php?go=send&toname=Xinil You don't deserve my love But that's a fair concern, only thing you got to do is look into the future, 2020 vision my child. Just make a new thread in 2 years it's ez.  We are now taking a trip to the past  Maybe this will be a time where your past self comes back to haunt you  The time where you remember things that you long desired to forever forget but can't  Maybe you'll even fall into some sort of self reflection  Or you just simply still love the things you loved from back then and it's quite nice to freshen up your memory  Watch Kemono Friends And with another two years gone by  or maybe not, maybe you developed a taste for poop jokes and became even more immature to what you once were, something along those lines I dunno who am I to judge Anyways this is all from me and for this thread, see you blokes'n'blokettes around and on the other side  |
| gone bai bai |
| Okay, i need a summary of this, like now. |
 |
well fuck lack of relevancy hurts me deep inside tbh |
 |
| Pulled from Feb 04, 2013. I was so fresh, it's amazing! And that plan to watch list! I couldn't even recall a time where it was under 400, damn. Well, that was fun. |

|
Try putting your old username in the link. worked for me once. |
| For some reason there were a shit ton of snapshots saved between 2015 and 2016 but none in 2017. I cri everi tyme |

| I always forget about this. At least my favorites were largely the same. Hated the layout tho. Both mal's and mine. |
| Well it was nice to see how my taste changed. I watched so many anime in 2016 then did nothing apparently. |
| :) |
| It found 1 date back in april, but it wouldn't display. |
     |
Seeing my dropped list at 6 is honestly hilarious. |
 |
Well got it to work, and I remember the good 'ol times back in april. |
| |
| Wow! this was so cool to look at. Is interesting to see how I much I had in the 'About Me' and then how it slowly whittled down to a picture lol! I've recently updated it to give a little info about me but for a while there I was just a blank personality. Oh and my favorites barely changed, just have more added. Another thing, the earliest screenshot in 2010 showed my completed list at 228, it didn't go past 300 (338) until 2014, then in 2015 it jumped to 447. There was 2 years I didn't complete a single anime but the anime watch challenge sure made a big difference to how quickly my list has grown nice then. Btw the two years I'm talking about are 2012 and 2013, I had stuff going on in my life and was rarely able to watch anything. But I did make attempts as the screenshots reminded me. I also saw a few reviews that I no longer have posted up, to be honest I'd forgotten I had even written them. Except for the one I still have up for Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou (which had 24 likes compared to the 224 it has now). |

| When exactly did the layout change? I remember seeing that layout but my first screenshot is after the current design in Jan 2016 |

| Wow, thanks for that reminder, I don't think I ever checked my old MAL account with that site! And yup, just as expected, the cringe is real xD  Then again, I was like 14 at that time soooo... |
  |
Wow, your taste was better back then |
| |
The old time when about me is below your statistic. And I remember have cooler profile pic back then. Oh yeah my fav chara didn't change that much too.  |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

Ah, yes, the old days when I had One Piece in my favourites (and when MAL only let you have 5 favourite anime and 5 favourite manga, which was stupid). Pulled from April 8, 2014. |

| Okay there are like a million snapshots for me. 10-15 of my current username, the oldest being from December 2015 when I first changed it. And even more of my old username which I had from 2010 to like early 2015 (I had a bunch of different names in between before I settled for my current one). The oldest Pullman one is kinda boring because MAL already had the new layout then so you can't really see the favorites but also I just didn't change as much since then. Digging my profile pic tho.  Now this one from May 2010, three months after I first joined MAL is definitely more entertaining. Just look at Code Geass in my favorites and I had barely over 100 entries on my list and 250 forum posts. That was really, really early in my MAL activities. Still a dope profile pic tho :>.  You can see 1 year later my profile pic hadn't changed but my favorites had and I started to grow more into my current, broader tastes. Probably the year I changed the most, including opening to older anime and romance/slice of life anime which I both used to avoid. I also had inreased my forum posts tenfold by then and had started to become an active member of the community. It gave me some nostalgia to see me exchanging profile comments with lisnoire, who's now long inactive but who introduced me to a lot of hidden gems that became part of my favorites.  |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
I still use an userscript that makes it that way because I could never get used to the change :> |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
...I had some issues back in 2010. Still do now, mind. |
 Ah, back when I went by a different name. My taste doesn't seem to have changed. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
Mkim said: Only 90s adults will remember this layout Nah, the profile change was made only in the 2015. So it's more like teens born in 2000 will remember that xD Pullman said: I still use an userscript that makes it that way because I could never get used to the change :> Same, installed those during the change, never removed them till now, the basic profile still looks horrid. My profile is eternal, it didn't change much in over 7 years, only minor favorites changes. But I didn't remember to have into the profile the link to the japanese site with the announced new animes: http://m-p.sakura.ne.jp/Html/anime.html Some time I don't see that page. |

 Fixes to make the Profile more bearable after "the Modern★Profile★Update★★Rip★Profile★" |
WHY THE FUCK AM I SAVED 14 TIMES? lmao 10 of 14 captures is from my first few months. The fuck?  Anyway this was from the first time I set foot on MAL. Way back when I was still CapitallistGod 2 years ago. I was an insufferable believer of "objectivity" back then too xdxdxdxd  Also my favorites were way different than before but I still like these. Most of these are still 9s. Only Accel World is a 7 now and Classroom Crisis is a 5 or 6.   And my meanscore is way too high for my tastes now. Also I only spent about a 102 days in anime since joining MAL 2 years ago. Welp. Contrast that to the 200+ days in 14 months i spent before MAL. HA!  Interesting. This is all way too interesting |
| This looks fun and nostalgic. And kinda embarrassing too but whatever :P Pulled from Sept. 12, 2015 Dug up from Aug. 13, 2013 A lot of things have changed: My favorite characters, favorite anime, favorite manga, and ofc how much my anime/manga stats have grown. My mean score was above 7.3 back then. I remember MAL expanded the profile width (horizontal) around January 2015, I think? Also, five years ago, I was still dreaming of a profile layout.. xD |
This is the oldest I could pull off, somewhere back in 4 years ago: I never really bothered looking at the number of anime I've seen back in those days until I realized seven more anime to get a thousand...And what the fuck is with this timing of snapshot LOLOLOL. |
 |
Ah yes, the good ol' days of low-tier shitposting cheekiness as a penguin. Feels like a different lifetime tbh lmao. |
 |
| So for some reason my clandestine era pages have always had trouble loading and thus are extremely hard to grab screenies from https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://myanimelist.net/profile/clandestine at least on my end, but if anyone wants to have a gander pls do as for my dizzyur era there are like 11 shots of my profile from that part of 2016 available https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://myanimelist.net/profile/dizzyur I mean some has changed but not a lot lot. It’s actually very minor. The only things I change are some info & imgs on my pag from time to time, and also changed a couple of my fav characters & people, other than that it’s not that different. I didn’t have (nor did anyone else have) wayback machine record my activity as spuukiebuugi tho, so the first two usernames will have to do |
| Lmaooo holy shit have times changed. |
