I was seeing some old prints of MAL, and I ended up finding a print of 2007. Was it so different this way? :o



Edit: wow, the score of berserk was 8.34 and was ranked #60

I guess the current version looks.... neater? Though not necessarily better. Sad to see Berserk drop down a bit after 12 years

Older mal was green too. Man, what times, you had to wait half an hour for an anime to appear on your list from the time you added in and the forums were interesting.

The current build is progressing, albeit slowly. I kind of like the archaic feel in a sense - but interested in seeing it come to a year passed 2005 at some point :P

I'd be interested in seeing some of the top lists from various points in the past, and to see how the ratings of works have changed over time.

I remember you could fuck with the bbcode and make your comment section a whole spoiler through your profile. It was so fun.

This is an interesting piece of history. There weren't that much changes when I first visited MAL in 2013, and it feels nice it still looks familiar until this day.

I'm not sure how in-line this is with what you're looking for

But whenever I took this Konata and Haruhi were in the top 10

I love that less-polished look. Wish the Internet still looked like that. Everything seems so soulless now.

2007? Yeah, it looked basic compared to other forums, but better than the pop-up forums (non-commercial backing). Forums were interesting relative to now, but were just getting over being boring compared to other sites. Lack of "supervision" or lax structure made the forum better than those websites.

Hasn't changed all that much, I see. I prefer the current look, mostly because I usually keep my browser window fairly small, not taking up the entire screen. It works for the current lay-out, but it would hide the sidebar in the old version.

I used to lurk the site back in 2012. I made an account once but I've forgotten it.
Really miss the old forums - the comments really made me laugh even if some of the users were hostile or intimidating (softies in their own turf nevertheless). When I see those old really popular users or shitposters and their last seen is from years ago, I almost wish I never came back. But it's still a convenient place for lists if I ever get to finishing mine.

I wish I could get into my 2012 account for curiosity sake.
