Lots of good and interesting ideas.

Sorry I've been away for a while (again). We bought the upgrade to CS 2007 -- I'm planning to do the upgrade sometime soon. There has been a lot happening behind the scenes over the last few months....

For those who may not remember, the old phpBB / invision forum domain name was anime.myfavoritegames.com -- that solves the problems of having "anime" in the name, while still keeping the association with the main website. Plus, it doesn't cost anything extra. We decided to get a new name when we switched to CS, mostly because we wanted something easier to type. We could go back to the old name, and keep mfgforums.com as a redirect, I guess....

Regarding episodes -- sorry, no. The agreement with the copyright holders that we're operating under won't allow us to do that. All audio or video clips have to be less than 60 seconds long. So many other site have to eps, why should we risk getting a Cease & Desist letter that might force us to shut the whole thing down...

I love the idea of other sites linking to us, and of inviting sites that have dead or almost-dead forums to partner-up.

Does anyone think it might generate any interest / excitement among the users if some of the old posts from the Invision days could be recovered? No promises, but something might be possible there if there was enough interest.
