| I hope somebody I know is still here. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Oh no, forum trashposting is back I mean, yay!! I can finally discuss about seasonals |
 |
| @Luthandorius "I only hope the mods/admins aren't going to be tooo harsh in deleting posts. Some might be less nice. (Even I feel like I'm a bit in an area where it is possible to get deleted/warned when I advice people not to pay any money.)" I'm sorry, but that's silly. They have never done this, much less for saying you shouldn't give money to the site. I guess you don't really have the best opinion of MAL mods, but we aren't bought to do the owners' bidding :P There are rules that explain when you might get warned or have your post removed and to even have a post removed in an announcement thread, it either must be irrelevant (usual spam or insisting on derailing the thread) or offensive/insulting (aka lots of swearing and pure rant). You are very much allowed to share your opinion and multiple times before have people said to not give money to mal and guess what, their posts have been fine :P Either way, I just wanted to clear that up, cause that's a jab at the moderation team and while no team is perfect, it's an unfair accusation! Other than that, I more or less agree with you. Mal hasn't ever been really fast with anything, but the first couple years they added a variety of features that were useful (my favorite is the Seasonals page) and fixed bugs. The past year though it seems everything had come to a longer standstill, except for the manga store (which I do like as an idea, but it's far behind other places) and then THIS happened and everything became EXTRA slow. With that pace, I kind of believe we'll start seeing some new things (bugs or something else) with the new year :'D That's just my opinion though. I'm glad MAL is back up, but I believe everything that was salvaged was mainly thanks to Kineta and Xinil and then the moderation team on social media who tried to be in contact with many users. If it were up to the owners... :^) |
   |
| "MY FIRST SPEAKING AFTER 2.5 MONTH" OHH its really nice |
 |
| good job staff :3 |
  |
| Cool that MAL team decided to 'close' the site in order to put the security first. (as it should be). If anything like this happens in future, I hope MAL team will be doing a better job at communication. |
| Well ... I knew that the moderation staff is different from the developers. Only a bit weird if the mods know stuff like estimated time for the next updates/functions to be restored ... and are communicating it at twitter. Bit weird ... if it isn't that much of a secret and you can disclose it at Twitter ... the devs from the company updating the change log / updates ( https://myanimelist.net/announcement/201806 ) could just have included a bit more info directly there. And regarding the deletion of posts and money and other stuff: Well ... we don't know that DeNA or whatever they are called would do. They might have stricter rules and might try to enforce it (so they can make more money) ... I mean if they are the owners they could just force the admins/mods to be more strict regarding certain stuff. (And if they aren't they could just change the admins/mods.) That's what I meant. That the current admins/mods by themselves (without pressure from DeNA) would do so ... I don't believe that. I think most already have made it clear that they weren't comfortable with the situation and how DeNA handled it - which seems more like they'd understand users complaining about it. Maybe like 1 or 2 officials from DeNA should be directly registered in the forums and communicate with users every now and then. (Probably a lot of people don't even know that this company in the backgroudn exists ... and think MAL is owned by the MyAnimeList LLC mentioned at the bottom ... and Xinil or some other admin owns that company.) DeNA owning MAL (I guess they bought the MyAnimeList LLC at some point) is only communicated every now and then in some posts in the forums. And I think Wikipedia has it included. |
| Well, I don't usually talk in the forum but I must say thank you. It sure was a difficult time and it seemed so long but we are finally almost back so, yeah, thank you for the work and everything >< |
 |
| Thanks for every admin. who worked so hard to make the site gets back again. We appreciate all that. Thank you again. |
 |
| yeaay, finally forum is back thank you for MAL team who tried their best repairing and recovering the site |
| Ahh finally! i miss forum so much. ;-; |
 |

| HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i'm using anilist right now MAL is dead for me... Sayonara |
| Yaaay We're back \o/ I've been on Mal for 4 years, you all have done a excellent job for all this time, especially during events, especially during Malloween. I would never judge you for the past 2.5 months, you were all trying your best to bring this back to us. We all know, sometimes, shit happens :) |
| I'm very happy everything is (almost) back. You don't realise how much you miss something until it's gone! When I couldn't update my list anymore I panicked, I missed the news feed immeasurably, and even though I am not that active on the forums, I missed reading discussions, comments and opinions of other people who share the same love for anime manga etc as me. Of course I felt a bit left in the dark at some points, but at least for me, all is well that ends well. I missed MAL and need it more than I thought and welcome you back in my life with open arms! *hug* ~ yay for stalking friends list updates again! <3 =3 ~ |

| Almost 3 months. Worst maintenance I ever seen... |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Man, did this take longer than it needed to. Do you have how many episodes I wanted to discuss while this place was down? I lost count! |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Finally! Now I have something I can use to slack off at work instead of actually working! |
| Honestly, it's been a disappointing up and down roller-coaster waiting for things to go back to normal and it's sad it's taken this long to get fixed. However, It's nice to have almost all the main components up and functioning. Thank you to the staff for keeping us as updated as possible. |

StormSky92 said: So are you going to admit that this is all DeNA's fault or are you going to continue to stick up for the shitty corporation you sold out to? They can't buy it back most likely, this is what happens when you sell your soul... Company policy in Japan is the worst thing ever, doesn't work over here. silverwalls said: eh, not moving back here from my backup list until API is back. but nice to finally see the site coming back i guess Same. And Kitsu doesn't let you export without the API, so MAL is screwed xD Shishio-kun said: Time to regroup after that MALpocalypse O_o Hi Shishio, still alive, but won't return unless imports and cover generators are back. I'm not sure I'll ever invest time on MAL anymore as today other listing sites are pretty much the same without good custom layouts. This is some let down :[ |
| Considering how long this took it feels like you rewrote the entire code of the website from scratch. |
Reirugan said: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i'm using anilist right now MAL is dead for me... Sayonara But you bothered to log in and post that. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, makes sense :^) |
|
| Well I hope this would be a new beginning for MAL. Glad to see it back. |
| damn i literally forgot this site existed and stopped checking and now the day ive finally started reading manga again the forum is up? the fuck |
Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| It's back!!! Although I don't use the forums too much. I still like talking about an episode every now and then. |

| Glad the forums are finally back. c: |
| Just too late, lots of people already leave MAL and too lazy to update their list.. since we cannot open MAL via third party or app , now we must back to old times (open via browser) just to update.. it's kinda more effort just for update the list |

| Welcome back! |
 |
Well, for now... |

sasalx said: Well don't want to break it for you but that was a bait and you answered it. He did his job. But isn't it sad when they do that? If my response makes him happy, then good for him. It made me happy at least so I'm good. And it would be even sadder if he replied back, but that would also make me happier, so really, win-win here :D |

Nobluesky said: unless imports and cover generators are back well, ＠import now work for list's owner and malamute can generate covers for first three hundred entries so you can return anytime you want |
| Glad we're back, yay! Thanks MAL staff for your hard work :3 |
| Wow I can speak again haha! I know the staff have been working hard to get it up and running so the delay was fine for me :). Glad to be able to mingle and talk to my fellow anime lovers :D |
 |
Hiruzawa said: Well, to be honest, I wanted to use a classic design. Yeah, this is almost trolling at this point, but it's what I really want :PNobluesky said: unless imports and cover generators are back well, ＠import now work for list's owner and malamute can generate covers for first three hundred entries so you can return anytime you want |
| Great now I can get banned for doing shit in forums. |

| Welcome back, MAL! Man, it's been long two and a half months. Now I kinda feel awkward to post again lol |
 |
| Well its about time. |
  |
| With all things considered, this thread is a lot more civilized than i expected it to be. |
| Glad to be back .:) |
 |
| Finally the forum came back, and good that several functions of the site are coming back! |
