I'm getting stressed, I was up until 5 AM last night, partly working with Massin and partly trying to figure out what to do with myOtaku

Part of the reason I haven't been communicative is because I've been so busy, but also because it's such a difficult technical problem dealing with myOtaku.

Here are some bullet points to help you out with where I am now. Being so close to launch I have a lot of late nights ahead just dealing with the monster that is myOtaku:

** Spaces is our next-generation blogging platform but, being honorable, we will still support you keeping your myOtaku site

** Spaces doesn't use HTML or JavaScript but you'll still be able to use HTML with your myOtaku site

** myOtaku pages' designs will update their look and we won't have a long left-menu with it anymore (you can put whatever info you like in the introduction instead). You'll have to re-customize your myOtaku page probably

** We'll still link to your myOtaku site, so people who subscribe to you will still see your updates

** It might be the case that anyone who doesn't have a myOtaku site now won't be able to create one in the future. I'd rather push people to create Spaces instead.

You can imagine what kind of a nightmare it is for us to have to deal with two blogging systems at once, one of which has been hacked to death by members and is utterly outdated. I often wish I could just start from scratch but this is where we are.

It'll be a lot more work than I anticipated dealing with myOtaku and since I really want to launch this month I anticipate a lot of sleepless nights

I was also close to posting a bit of gossip about my personal life but decided that might be distracting. ;-)
