| I've already got an account on there, but I doubt I'll switch unless MAL goes under. Been on this website so long I've grown fond of it. |

| I think I'll use them both for the time being, I just registered for hummingbird but I'm really content with its appearance. |
 |
| I won't switch, but I create an account everywhere I go so maybe I'll do one. |
 |
| There aren't really any features on Hummingbird that I really need that MAL doesn't have. So I'm not really that interested. Although if the competition means that more effort will be put into fixing MAL's existing problems, that can only be a good thing. |
 |
| I'd only switch if there was a way to import MAL lists, and if it was better in every other important aspect |

So basically you can use anyone's username from MAL and import their lists on Hummingbird. Then again, it's just a list. Well, you need to click some other stuff afterwards, but yeah. In basic. |

Light novels and visual novels will come later on. There are currently no plans to have clubs, but beta is beta so anything can change." I just found this on forums I might actually end up switching then. I play my fair share of visual novels, so that website would actually be more useful to me if they added that. Though no clubs doesn't sound fun. Eh oh well, guess I'll see where I end up later. |

But there isn't only two, there's like 5 sites that do what MAL does and none of them are as popular. maybe. no harm using 2 sites at the same time. more competition is good for users like us, at the same time it also keep these sites on their toes if they don't want the traffic to drop. Auxoran said: People talk in this forum too, I don't know what you're talking about. And the reason they are more on topic though is because it's still a small site, when it gets larger it will change. And even now, there's barely 5 posts on a thread a day.LolitaDecay said: There aren't really any features on Hummingbird that I really need that MAL doesn't have. So I'm not really that interested. Although if the competition means that more effort will be put into fixing MAL's existing problems, that can only be a good thing. The great thing about that site is that people actually talk about anime in froums instead of talking about random retarded things so if they add more features and add a manga/vn lists etc. I might switch to it. And they are already planning on manga and possibly VNs. OT: I joined the site like a week ago. I use it for the forum and for a backup of my list. It's not what to go into if you want everything right now, it's still the beta so there are bugs everywhere, they don't have manga and tons of other info for anime, VAs, staff, etc. Though all those things they say are coming. I still think MAL is better and faster so I'll be sticking with it unless it goes down the toilet. |

| It looks pretty nice, but I really hope that matching feature isn't as bad as Hulu and Netflix. "Because you watch Monster, you might also like: Naruto", fuck you. As far as switching to the forums over there, the people here are rude, mean as shit, and it's rife with trolls, but it grows on you, I don't think I'll ever leave. Once I hit about 150 posts on a site I usually don't switch over to a new one that's similar, besides, too many familiar faces here for me to leave. |

Auxoran said: Then more people don't discuss there, MAL has a lot of people discussing, there's just usually shit posting going on in the same thread too.I mean more people actually discuss instead of saying that sucks,this sucks and fight etc.Most likely it's because there are less people not because people are actually looking to discuss stuff.To tell the truth that's just my first impression I haven't fully checked the site yet. BlindSamurai said: Anime-planet, ANN, anidb.net, Herro, are all other anime listing sites and MAL still hasn't done anything, though Herro's probably newer than Hummingbird.Always nice to have a back up site and maybe then MAL will pick up the slack and actually do some of the things that are listed on the suggestion page |

Edit: to further demonstrate my stupidity, I can't figure out how to import my MAL list to Hummingbird. |

Yeah that's actually true.I should have said like there are less shittalking there because of fewer active members.Sorry eh?*says with a Canadian accent* That means it's an inactive community, there's not less shit talking, there's nobody that shit talks. As for me, no, I won't change from MAL, I might quit the MAL Forums, but I don't need to track my VNs, it's not like I can FORGET what translated VNs I played. LOL, actually, the same goes for anime. To be honest, if they have a way to recommend VNs after the stuff you watched I'd use only that part of their site to check out VNs . |

Well it's still in early to mid beta stage(I think) so I wouldn't say that it has an inactive community just a small one compared to MAL Same thing to me, I also need an invitation, which I hope is automatic. Otherwise I won't give any of my emails to any type of shitty site like this. |

| "Any thoughts on Hummingbird?" Well, it has some good ideas but a horrible and just awful execution. The design tries too hard to be appealing and annoys me with its "let's make everything as big as possible" approach. Besides that the design is very confusing (ie "hidden" forum with no clear structure), broken display of forms and not well-thought-out menus and their access. It's like some amatuers thought it'd be good to throw some ideas together and that it will work out. But it doesn't. I prefer dperolio's design and work on an alternative for MAL (http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=597427&show=0) Previews of his latest design: http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/8741/animangosvis.png http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/7670/animangos.png Looks much clearer and user friendly than Hummingbird's design, but has no working preview out and if that will ever happen is another question. |

Where is the import at on the other site? I not leaving this site just yet. But I may do it if I get banned on it. Need some user example on the different website if it interest me. |

| To be honest, if they ever add a VN list here I'm sure nobody will ever think of that site ever again. Recommendations work here too, maybe even better, as they're user chosen (upvoted by users). There's nothing else you miss here, if they remake the site like dperolio idea it would be 1st place anime site (like it isn't already). The Karma thing is also disturbing, upvote/downvote forum posts thing too if they implement it. Internet casuals call everybody that disagrees with them "trolls", they'll downvote you and - Karma you because you like green more than red. |
