Quick Notes
-> Japan86 has graciously volunteered to call me over and over again Monday morning to see if she can wake me up in time for free bagels and donuts. I am grateful. Reason #282 Otakuites rock

--> Whereas Massin and I worked almost all night 2 days ago, Mike and I were working all day today. We made incredible progress

--> I learned my lesson about politics here, but if I had to endorse a candidate personally, it would be Obama. So I was happy about Iowa.

-> I'm going to start announcing new features on the main page, but I'll start the first one here, to put some fears to rest:

theOtaku's new blogging-type system will be attached to your existing username BUT you also have the ability to customize the URL AND the title.

--> I've decided to let everyone keep their myOtaku sites exactly the same as it's been for the last 4 years, untouched. We're also keeping them ad-free even though that was supposed to be only a temporary thing. In addition you can still create a blog with our new system though new members won't be able to create a myOtaku

--> I'm getting really excited about VV; we're going to be hitting the fandom world HARD soon. We only provide the tools though, so I hope that you all do a part to take advantage of them. We're like an art supplies store in a way, we only provide the tools and you create with them

--> I owe you all a demo, soon. If you have any concerns about the new version express them in the comments here and I'll answer them tomorrow. If I don't answer something it'll be because it's related to a feature I'm still keeping secret/unannounced. Our new version will bring a lot of exciting things to the table but I understand that since I'm a little secretive now and we're still changing some things that there might be some confusion
