Just kidding. This post is not about viruses, trojans, and worms; nor is it about PC security. As many are quite aware, MAL is the indubitably creative acronym for My Anime List, better known as My Anime E-peen.
Scientific studies show that the more extensive one's MAL is, the larger their e-phallus is, and the less of a life they have. Just kidding! I thought I would poke some fun at MAL just for the heck of it. xD
I've had a MAL for a short while now, but I haven't really done much streamlining to it. I'll get to that after I finish this post. Why now? Well, recently there's been a bit of a hubbub with anime bloggers making their MAL known, so I thought I'd follow suit. In before hivemind.
A few other things… someone give me a convincing reason to upgrade to Wordpress 2.5.1. The dashboard's been complaining at me for a while now, but I really don't want to do it.
Also, the Anime Blog Award nominations have been finalized, and it's onto voting. It's currently only blogger voting, but when people voting becomes available be sure to go vote for your favorite blog!
Q: "But Nagato, Are-are isn't even on any of the categories. Why would you promote this?"
A: Because I'm that altruistic.
What was the purpose of this post again? Oh, right:

Don't forget it! ε- (゜д゜) And friend me! Nao!

To tell the truth, I don’t see any reason to upgrade. I like it the way it is.

Hope to see you around then. I whore the site constantly.

Security-wise, this.
Otherwise, bug fixes. If you wish to patch up the security, just go here and follow the directions there.
Still, 2.5.1 causes some other problems as well, some that were left unfixed in 2.5.1. Oh well, it’s not like any software will be bug-free.

Yeah, I haven’t gotten around to updating my own blog’s wordpress installation, but you should always do it sooner rather than later if you can, because they usually fix important security issues.

I’m not fond of any social networking sites, so I’ve abstained from joining MAL, as I had with Friendster, MySpace, and whatnot. :)
April 28th, 2008 at 3:11 am
I quit MAL long ago
April 28th, 2008 at 5:18 am
I still have my account but it got too troublesome to update.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:53 am
I’m lazy to update it too..
I usually visit social sites like MAL all the time in the past..
But not anymore..
Mostly because I don’t have any time..lol

Your wit is lacking.

MyAnimeList or “Social” AniDB is alright, I can’t see why change if I already have a ton of stuff in AniDB. I mean its like episode episode click click … click, fansub group click, episode.
Someone could have built a site using AniDB’s API and it would have been seamless. Even if someone did that now it would be worth it considering the AniDB user-base is huge, and it actually supports more features, just they don’t get any attention.
Just an opinion, I have respect for both sites. For me, these “list” sites take too much effort. ^^

I like having an anime list but that’s it. I don’t want to pick out favorite characters, voice actors, or participate in forums. MAL is nice but I’d rather just make my own.

@ Webb: Well, for one, so it’ll stop bothering me.
@ Xjellocross: =o You didn’t even add me! I’ll go add you now or something.
@ Icy: Hmm. I hope it doesn’t screw up my NG Gallery. I’ll update this weekend, or something.
@ Macro: Exactly what I was thinking.
@ Mike: But this is a social networking site full of weirdos just like you!
@ blissmo: boo! :(
@ Shin: If Shinn87 is you, all you have is Lucky Sh!t :(
@ Setsukyie: I usually just update every once in a while.
@ DrmChrs0: Wut? o.o
@ Ryan A: AniDB has a user list feature?
@ Caitlin: Ah, see but you don’t need to do all that. I usually just stick to the anime anyway. =p

Hey that’s some nice random Touhou you gots there.
On topic, MAL is awesome. I’ve been addicted to it ever since I signed up. Haha~

I impress with the way it show a couple trying to work through a very serious problem in their relationship. The fighting part is fantastic
