AnimeShinbun February 2012 Contests

15d ago ... Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a good month. I just got back to Australia after a bit more than 2 months overseas, and I'm totally jetlagged. ^^;;; Once I'm no longer jetlagged, I'll be going through the entries we had for our mascot competition over December and January. There's a possibility that we may not be able to award any prizes for that one, depending on what exactly we've g...

Happy New Year from AnimeShinbun

51d ago ... Happy New Year Everyone! Just to let you all know, I'm about to take a one week holiday with the family to a beach resort in Costa Rica, as a bit of a celebration of my one year wedding anniversary. ;) Because of that, the results for the holiday contests apart from the 12 Days (which have already been announced), may be delayed about a week or so while I get some things in order here. I'll...

AnimeShinbun 12 Days of Christmas Contest 2011 - Day 12

53d ago ... Hello everyone and welcome to the final day of our 12 Days of Christmas Competition. While we've had a good number of entries, this competition was from almost the first day a close race between four particular entrants, narrowing down to a field of 2 from Day 8 onwards, and that's reflected in each day's results. So, before we get into today's question, it's time for me to go over those!...

AnimeShinbun November 2011 Contests

113d ago ... Hi everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? After the disappointing level of participation in our August (no entrants) and September (1 entrant) contests, we took a little break from contests over October to do a little brainstorming on how we could get more people involved again. This month, we're going back to basics, but with a few changes to things to bring them more into line with what y...

AnimeShinbun September 2011 Contests

165d ago ... Hi everyone! Sorry for this coming out so late into the month. Things have been a bit crazy around here of late. ^^;; (When are they ever not?) I've yet to see any actual entries for the August contest submitted. I'm not certain if that's due to a lack of actual referrals, or because people weren't sure what they should do to confirm those referrals. Because of that, I'll give a graace pe...

Some response to your feedback

209d ago ... Hey everyone. I'm afraid we're still waiting to hear from the guys on the back-end about how difficult it's going to be to implement some of your suggestions here. I understand they've been a bit busy fixing things up with this new site design, amongst other things. In the meanwhile though, we did have a few suggestions which didn't involve backend changes, so I figured it's past time I gave...
