Just An Essay
Hello, my B-Day is coming! April 18! So start making me stuff XDD
J/k

Anyways, next week is CST testing [ California Standrad Test ] which is one of the reasons why I haven't posted. I need to study, while making invitations to my b-day party on the 26th. Your wondering why the party is on the 26th when the 19th is saturday right? The thing is that, that weekend is when I'm suppose to go with my dad. X_X I don't see why I should even bother going when my dad didn't do anything for my brother's birthday. There was not even a single "Happy Birthday" AT ALL!

*shakes head* Oh well, I made an essay on TheO, and MyO. If anyone wants to read it go right ahead. I copy and pasted it, though I still wish to get more comments on it on my WORLD

----- Essay ----

I can tell you right away that I am not the most popular person, nor I am the person who has the best art around. I may not even be a long time member such as ElvesAteMyRamen, or LordSesshomaru. But I can tell you right away that I have stayed long enough to know when something is wrong.

We all have our stories about how we first came to TheOtaku and Myotaku. We all have some attached to both TheOtaku and Myotaku. We all have a reason why we stayed here for so long. We all know Myspace, Blogger, and many other sites, and we all know how TheO and Myo were different. TheO was like another anime fan site, it wasn't just another place to post your art, no it was a place where we can show our creativity with other people who had similar interests. What's more was we didn't need to go anywhere else to get our anime news, nope the moment we came to TheO we had our news right there! But this was only half of it. Myo was completly different from all blogs, we had just about everything to keep us sastified. We could vent, chat, and just simply say "Hi", just like any blog site, but the difference between Myo and the others was it's members. We always had someone to reply, someone to ask for advice. It wasn't like a Myspace where you have to be the most popular person to have someone to comment on your blog, it was far from it.

With this being said, you may have a picture of what I am about to say. If you haven't, I go straight to the point. TheO VV, is nothing what anyone expected. Good and Bad. Sure we all love how clean and neat it looks, but something is missing. If you have guessed Myotaku, you're 100% right!
Myotaku wasn't just a compainion to TheOtaku, but they were beyond a team. Without Myotaku, TheOtaku would never fullfill it's full potential, nor would Myotaku be any better off without TheOtaku. They need each other, as simple as that. Many people say that this is why we have WORLDs, but it's not the same!

WORLD is exactly what we need to stay away from, it's a step backward from where we were with Myotaku. Only one Youtube Video? Just a simple change of background? How is this any better off than another blog site? In Myotaku we could custimize our sites any way we wanted! TheOtaku, are you willing to go so far back? No, not just a step back, but leaving the people who build you up behind you?

Don't understand my last sentence? Let me clarify by asking you this simple question. How could Adam bring TheOtaku and Myotaku to life in the first place? The answer is a plain NO! Adam was simply the creator, nothing more. The very members feeling left behind are the ones who brought the sites to life!

Why can't Adam simply find a way to upgrade Myotaku? Sure, it will take time, we can wait! Just don't seperate them! We all know that Adam's first thought was to delete Myotaku, and we are glad that he didn't, but that is as far as it goes. What we have left is nothing but the left overs that will soon become a memory if nothing is done!

So many members have left, not wanting to take any other minute with this betrayel! We all know I am exagerating, but what words can describe when the very Creator leaves behind the people who brought his creation to life? There are no words to fully describe this.

The following is quotes from comments I received that I believe should have their place here;

I think it's all gone to Adam's head over the past couple of years:

[CENTER]"Since people were flocking in to join MyO, it's partner TheO became more popular too. He might've wanted to expand on the art side of things to promote it further, to simply gain more audience.
But now he has done it too much, and now he's completely forgotten about the lovely people who made this place awesome XD

Yeap, it's all in his head. Like I said, he wants to attract more people, but by doing so, he is losing even more people because MyO isn't being upgraded. That's everyone's home, and they aren't too happy that it was left in the dark *nods*"[/CENTER]

[CENTER]"I'm not sure if we're being ditched or what, but it kind of seems that way. We still have that pathetic comment box on MO...no PM system there, etc. I understand Adam not wanting to go through the trouble of totally revamping MO after doing all this work on theO, but still...those little things could be fixed. Many people that defend VV use the excuse, "You guys should stop whining. At least he kept MO. Any other sane web designer would completely delete MO." Sure, he was GOING to get rid of it...but he didn't for our sakes, those that loved MO and didn't want to miss those memories. :( I give him that...but still..."[/CENTER]

[U]This is the V.2 of the rough draft I posted before, I only hope to receive more comments on this matter. If so, I wish to hear everyone's side of this matter. So far I only received comments wanting Myo And TheO, therefore I wish to hear more oppisite views on it.[/U]


- See ya and take care
