Finally !!! Thank god forums are back.....
Watching anime without forums was not that good.
And i would also like to give credits to the MAL team for bringing this site to its normal condition. We might have been frustated and sad but we know how much u all have worked hard for these past few months. So Kudos ;-)

Wow, that took way longer than I expected it to. It's still good though to have the forums back online so I can actually talk to people :p

It's good that the site is somewhat working now, but not sure if I want to really come back and have to re-add everything I did from anilist, or even import the list. The site has a long way to go before I decide to make it my main site again.

It is difficult for me to express my deep disappointment in the broken state of MAL over the last 2.5 months. The moderation staff strongly feels the execution and communication of these events has failed our community and volunteers. I, as well as Xinil, deeply apologize for the undue stress caused by the illusion and fear of data losses, account recovery problems, and frustration with the inability to use MAL normally.

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. While intent on ensuring MAL's safety and risk-free experience, our users were left feeling unsafe, angry, and frustrated instead. As representatives of the community and moderator teams, Xinil and I will continue to press the best interests of the community forward.

Thank you for your extraordinary patience and understanding over these difficult months. We truly feel MAL would be nothing without its supportive community. I look forward to the security review finally being finished; to seeing a better situation for the API and 3rd party apps; and to new features and improved user experiences on MAL.

PS. Please try not to give the Forum Moderators too much work in your excitement of the forums being back. They may be a little cranky after all of these weeks.


Appreciate the sentiment Kineta - we all know how frustrated and sad you have been due to this unscheduled outage caused by DeNA.

The forums should have been one of the first things cleared and brought back. You can't have a community if people can't talk and discuss what they are here for. I like to just read but it was a long couple months.

Overjoyed that the forums are back up!!!! Honestly, it's not been the same. Thank you for your hard work!!!! I won't say it hasn't been a period without frustration, but if it makes the site more secure in the long term then it's a small price to pay.


Good luck to the mods for the upcoming rush of posts!!! :D

The only thing I care about is clubs. The only reason I'm upset is because the entire FAL season was completely ruined, and it was my first time ever playing. Now what happens? Is there still a winner, or is the entire season null and void?

I've tried both Kitsu and AniList while MAL was recovering and all I can say is thank god MAL is back. I don't want to have to use those sites ever again. I'll take the cynical, snobbish, troll-ish MAL community any day over the sugary, safe space, full of normies communities of those sites.

It's been 2.5 months and it still isn't fully back. Somehow I doubt that whoever was working on this was working hard at all. Probably took a vacation too. Inexcusable.

I might as well finally make my forum debut. Welcome back, forums. Even though almost all parts of the site that I use have been available for some time, it means a lot to have the forums back too. Probably. Now watch my post number sit on 1 for all eternity.

I wish for a speedy recovery of the (new and improved?) API.

Take it easy, everybody.

Good to see the forums up and running again.
Don't think I've ever been this happy to get a notification about a new forum post.
Looks like I've got some anime challenge edits to do.

I didn't realize just how much I loved the aesthetic of the MAL forums! Probably haven't lurked on these for at least 8 months tbh. xD

It's awesome to have them back though, as this is one of the best ways to communicate with the MAL staff. Much thanks to Kineta and the other moderators for keeping cool during this whole mess. :D
