I've been a member of the site for two years now. I've never been a great artist
so I've only submitted a few walls and scans, but I've posted on the
forums.
From my perspective, I really don't think the site's been as good since the
credit system was introduced. Not just because of it, but the other changes that
happened at that time, making submissions stricter. I don't know if it's just
because I'm less interested in anime wallpapers that when I was 16, but I also
find fewer wallpapers that I want to download.
I think the site did use to be considerably more cheerful, and fun to be on. It
used to be that I had loads of people on my friend list, lots of them submitting
actively. Now only one of them still uses the site, and I generally don't bother
to do more than grab a wallpaper off of the front page before moving on.
When I heard about the PS3's price tag I began to have second thoughts about
buying one. But I'm come to realise that I'm prepared to buy a console for $1000
just to play Final Fantasy
XIII.
I can't wait.
Btw, I think X-2 sucked it terms of character depth and storyline. But I
wouldn't say that the series as a whole has been heading in that direction. FFX
was amazing!
I'm a Christian and already believe in heaven and hell.
A lot of people seem to be saying that even if they existed they wouldn't change
their lives to fit in with some powerful being's abitrary whim. However (in
Christianity anyway, I can't speak for other religions), we see that God is our
creator. He made us in order to be happy, joyous and live life to the full.
God's not asking you to live a life of boredom and endless work, serving some
church.
Instead, he knows fully what makes you
work - can understand you in a way that no one else ever will - and knows that
some things, even if they initially seem fun, will ultimately harm you and lead
to despair. He doesn't want you just to dance like a puppet to what he feels
like, but he can see more clearly what will lead to a happy life - quite apart
from heaven/hell - and wants the best for you.
In "Contact Options >> Email and Instant Messenger Handles", all
I can see is AOL, Yahoo, ICQ and MSN handles. No option for changine e-mail.
Sorry if I being blind but I can't see any option there.
DRM is the software used to prevent people from copying music and other forms of
media. While it may occasionally prevent crimes, it causes far more
inconvenience for those who are trying to make legal use of songs they have
bought, makes customers feel like criminals and can even install software on
your computer - without you agreeing! - that creates vulnerabilities that can be
exploited by hackers.
Freeculture.org have started an internet pledge for people to submit their names
and swear never to buy CDs with DRM on them.
God could have humans created as mindless automatons that by their nature could
only do that which was right in God's sight. We would have been happy, because
what the Lord command is good - but then
we would have no choice. Instead God gave us the choice and free will to choose
to disobey Him. But He provided a way for us to come to know Him (Jesus), so
that through all our mistakes we could come to obey Him, not becaues we have no
choice, but because we love Him and want
to - even if we get it wrong often.
Both are the same code, except the first one uses https instead of http.
I know this isn't a major bug but if one of the moderators could sort it out
some time that'd would be good
Keep up the good work guys!
Evanescence's music is really cool but Amy's songs tend to use the same musical
ideas over and over, so it can bit a bit boring if you try and listen ti whole
album in one go.
Great for making music videos out of Final Fantasy cutscenes though
I have no problem with how well the
system works - merely with the credit system itself.
I'm not going to claim to be an 'active' member of the community - I can't wall,
I have no scans to submit and I've never really liked the groups (yes, I know
that's an incomplete list, and, yes, I know now that someone will reply 'but you
could do *blah*'. Just accept that I don't find it easy to do most if any of the
things on this site, nor do I have very much free time to do them).
Instead I used to spend my time supporting my favourite wallers (and anyone else
who was doing something that looked really good) by downloading their walls,
using them, and occasionally trying to leave encouraging and/or constructive
comments, although again I was limited by my knowledge of making walls.
Now even if I comment on every wall (which in my opinion is just unneccessary
spam, anyway - unless I really have something I want to say, why should I go
around spouting stuff like "v.good! keep it up!" - unless I believe it
to be true) I still can't gain enough credits to actually download anywhere near
the number of really good walls that are made every day.
So I guess I'm just going to have to drift away from Minitokyo - I can't afford
the time and input required to maintain a user account here, despite the fact
that I love the work done by the talented artists here.
Quote by SonicWindIs there any chance I
can get this in the UK?
I doubt it's going to come out in the UK. But I've ordered it from store4.com, a
supplier I've got stuff from in the past. They import DVDs from America to the
UK, and (by some clever method I don't understand) don't seem to pay any import
taxes so the prices are low.
You have to make sure you can play Region 1 DVDs though.
Not because I hate him - just that he survives approximately 3 gazillion scrapes
with certain death and still ends up with nothing more than a flesh
wound.
Don't worry Akakiken - everyone goes through these kind of things sometimes,
you'll recover.
That being said (and I don't want to come over all preachy) but I have a friend
who's 60 years old. He says he's never met anyone who was a comitted Christian
and has also regretted their life. That's the way I feel - life's worth living
if God's there for me.
I really loved that wall, Samo! I don't think it was too similar to the original
scan - you did a great job with the sky. I hope the mods will let you put it
back up again.

So hard to choose but...
I vote for OriginalQueenofAnime
I listen to far too much music to be able to afford it all, so I download it and then what I can afford, when I can afford.
I've probably downloaded about 40 OSTs, and own about 10 (which I also originally dowmloaded).

My two Yen.
When I try and change my e-mail address from Personal Options I get the following message:
Not Found
The requested URL /_my/changeemail was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Please could this be fixed.
Okay, I've found the change e-mail button in the sidebar to the left. Thanks for that.
However, when I click on it I get an error 404. Sorry to be such a pain but I'm still not managing to change my e-mail.
Nickname? Download quota? I don't *think* I can see those either.
Here's a screenshot of my personal options page. Where should I be looking?
Where?
In "Contact Options >> Email and Instant Messenger Handles", all I can see is AOL, Yahoo, ICQ and MSN handles. No option for changine e-mail. Sorry if I being blind but I can't see any option there.
I'm now using a new e-mail address. Is there any way of changing the e-mail displayed on my user page or do I have to create a new Minitokyo profile?
If so, btw, that sucks.

At least, that's what I believe
If you create a link to a page that begins with 'https://' instead of 'http://' the url tag doesn't work.
For example:
Extension for firefox

If I'm watching several episodes of the same anime in a row then I'll tend to skip the opening/ending credits.
But yeah, it depends on how good the song is.
Evanescence's music is really cool but Amy's songs tend to use the same musical ideas over and over, so it can bit a bit boring if you try and listen ti whole album in one go.

I'm going to be getting BeThere 24Mb when they extend their service as far as my part of London in January.
Looks awesome
How does this compare with, say, the USA?
yep. Minitokyo has once again switched to displaying the text "thumbnail" instead of loading thumbnails and doesn't display full size pictures at all.
Using Firefox 1.0.7

Pazu from Castle in the Sky.

No one that lucky is natural!
On Friday I kept getting error 403 (Forbidden) when I tried to go to minitokyo.net
I've only seen Nausicaa and Spirited Away, but Nausicaa is definitely one of my all time favourite anime films.
