I like Version Vibrant because of all the new features but the old TheOtaku was better! I prefer the red and dark grey colours that this current light blue one..
im kinda confused. i missed the feature where you just click on your name and see wat you put on your favorites list. i really miss the old otaku. well i guess that i have to get used to the new otaku^^ awesome job adam. but please pm me cuz i really want to know where my favorites list is and where i can find out if the anime i subscribed to is updated
Master of Kittehs (Otaku Eternal) | Posted 03/08/08 | Reply
i honestly do not get this site at all now XD i kinda liked the old myo better.. i dont even know how to post updates or submit art, its so freaking confusing... r our old friends from myo transfered to this site? gahh i'm confused
I don't really care for the changes that have taken place. I find its harder to find the things I want, which is made all the more frustrating by the favourites (including fanart, fan comics, quiz results, etc.) are now all gone. I used to enjoy checking out the quiz section for new quizzes, often rating them on accuracy and saving my favourite results. I can't do that anymore, because this so-called "update" has apparently eliminated any clear indication of what's new. In case I wasn't clear enough, I am NOT a happy camper!
it looks cool... but i can't understand a thing now. what happened to tha html codes of the e-cards? (if i wrote this wrogn i'm sorry, i speak spanish)
Queen of Termina (Otaku Eternal) | Posted 03/07/08 | Reply
Yeah i agree with crimson zombie. I dont really like it. The old version was straight forward and simple....It looks awesome though. I will just have to get used to it.
The site's missing info on the min. and max. requirements for measure dimensions for fan art submissions. I myself will like to know before I can go back to submitting fan art of my own, please. I tried submitting today, and it said that the drawing isn't within the required dimensions.
Also, the anime and manga categories are missing "crossover anime" from the list (in wallpapers/e-cards/fan art).
well, things are changing constantly, right? it always makes me sad, but i'll adjust eventually... after all, there are some changes i like here.
i have to get this out: i don't like the new spikey. i felt like ive seen that picture so many times o_o i think he should have a different pose or something
Wow. I know Version Vibrant has been out for almost a week but I decided to hold off from visiting The O just to give it some time. Then today I decided "Hey lets go check out The O!" Well I typed it in and when the main page came up I was shocked. I had to look at it for a few minutes just to soak it all in. Great job Adam. Version Vibrant is a success! I love it!!
As some others, I'm afraid I, too, am confused by this new layout.
I mean, it does look very nice, but I have had a very hard time finding the some options and I am still trying to find some others (hopefully I will find them soon).
However, once I get used to this new layout, I think it will do fine.
gah, I've always hated scrolling past ALL the comments >_<
VV looks nice, but I'm having trouble finding pretty much ANYTHING >_< I need getting used to I guess *shrugs*
I agree with the last comment, how can I just view my site? or do I have to keep going there like my 'subscribers'(what am I, a freakin' magazine?) do?
sorry, still a bit bothered by the changes, but who knows, I might grow to love this version..
im have trouble voting and favoriting things. every time i try to do either one, a window comes up saying that it failed. am i the only one having this problem.
Well..I see no bugs here D: And the site is really cool! :D I'm pretty excited about everything..though it'll take awhile to get used to and such D:
Though, something that bothers me is that the friends we had saved before aren't on our friend's list thing anymore D: And I'll be hard to find everyone again...And...where are all our favorites? ><
Oh well, I guess it's not that big of a deal, I'll live D:
wow, how cool!!! i'm glad spikey is back, he looks better than ever. i was hoping that the jukebox would come back too but you can't get everything that you want. Great job on the advancements!!! =D
Wow... mind-boggling. I think I'm doing alright on it, but it really will take me forever to get the hang of all these features. I love the 'world' concept. Provides a perfect way to get all your stuff organized. And organized is a good thing in a site- I was expecting new features to just be laying all over the floor for me to trip on, but you've done it all in a way that's actually pretty easy to navigate. ^_^ You guys are beyond awesome. Words fail at this point.
I'm agreeing on a suggestion box, so I shall just add mine here anyway, since you'll be paying close attention! ^_^ On the quizzes, there used to be a place where you could save it to your managerie of quiz results, and it saved a lot of time rather than the copy paste method. It would be nice if we could still save things to myotaku. Thanks! VV looks awesome, though! Great layout. My compliments on the work!
Ah, VV does look good, and a vote for the blue color! Yeah... Hey, you know, guys, you should put up a place where people can place suggestions and stuff, not just the bugs report. Well, that's just me, or is there one I haven't seen?
But aside from that, this deserves a good congratulations to theO staff for a job well done. *pats back*. Keep it up!
Yeah I agree hopefully we will have the chance to go from theotaku to my otaku with speed again .Let´s wait that it happens soon :3 .Well how ur doing Iru?
I love this new otaku, and it is SO MUCH FASTER, FLASHIER, AND COOLER.
but, how can i upload my AVATAR or change it? does that feature still exist? also, will MYOTAKU not be linked to THEOTAKU anymore? will my otaku not use version vibrant either?
other than that, im gonna take an hour or two to scavenger around for your awesome new features!
this looks pretty cool, but something is kinda confusing me.
Will there be more Caption Battles and OOP??
and is the WORD stuff for fanfictions and stuff?
someone please let me know, cause i know i will have more questions. thanks!

This new version troubles me, as do my new socks. At any rate, i will need to lead an expodition of brave and slightly stupid explorers tomap out this wide new world. If i don't return, tell snowball that he still has to pay me the $25.
Adam and Adam's team I think you did an outstanding job with this new version! Its truly incredible! I cannot wait to see all the new addictions VV has.
I'm so freaking confused here.... TT____TT I can't find anything. I have a lot of questions too, of which will never be answered and my mind will forever wonder about. Like, how will I know when my freidns update? T_T I'm really sorry Adam, maybe I'm just really stupid, but I'm not exactly "thrilled" about V.V. ....
What the heck does that have to do with anything? I am making suggestions...Also I think we need a link back in the portfolio to the myotaku website to each individual! I mean whats the point of the myo if you can't do that!
Oh. My. God. It's here! This is sure gonna take some getting used to, but it's looking good so far and I can't wait to discover more *_*
Lol, cute emoticons
hey i really lov all the efects that have this new version!!!!! is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! but...-_- well i find difficult to know how to find my artist tracker to know how to comment my friends!!!! omg i´m so lost!!!!!! what about the site??? well i really need help here normally caosgoth help me with little things..but now i´m totally lost!!!! well anyway i lov how thw site looks really GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS A LOt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is pretty sweet lookin. Good job guys!! Tough a part of me still misses the old look (I don't really like change.) But i can tell this change is for the better. Especially these:So cute! Anyway I'm still exploring but I got lost a couple of times. I'll still find my way tough!
It's going to tough getting kinda used to the new layout, I got lost finding my way here! But honestly, this is simply amazing. Yeah like I mentioned before, all those sleepless nights full of work will pay off. I love this version!
OMG!!! finally yeii im so happy with this new version and well im gonna mm let me see cheack all the new thing soo congrats cause this is excellent and also thnak you so much for the new version!!!!
It was daunting, but it has been accomplished. Congrats to everyone involved, and know that you still have our support as the many kinks that will arise are being worked out.
Miss Anonymous: ARE YOU CALLING THE PLIGHT OF PIZZA EVERYWHERE STUPID?!?!? >:O
*applauds and removes hat* Everyone did an absolutely amazing job with VV. While it will certainly take a bit of time to relearn everything, I don't think I'd ever want to go back to the old version; this is just way too sweet!
um i cant seem to figure out something..vote are called hugs now.....i understand that...but where are the total votes number at so i know how many votes i have?
It'll take me longer than that to get used to everything here. It's so drastically different than the old TheO, but that's kind of part of the adventure, getting to work with something totally new and different than I'm used to.
There are a few hiccups to deal with, like this commenting system which gets in the way of the content you're trying to respond to, for example. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box at times, so I do like to double check things sometimes when I'm speaking about something, and I've caught myself almost saying something completely stupid cause I've misread something and over-reacted to it prematurely.
I do commend each and every one of the people who had a hand in getting this thing going. Have to appreciate their handiwork, each and every one.
Now, if you'll forgive a second off tangent mini-rant, is there an appropriate place to ask questions for the FAQ page? Cause I've got a question or two about stuff in the backroom that really should be covered in the FAQs.
omg!! this is so awesome!! you did such an amazing job adam!! i like all the new features especially the world one. well im gonna explore alittle more^_^
It looks pretty nice, it'll take a lot of getting used to though....it's a little confusing. I love the emoticons though They're cute!! Especially the little kitty!! It's really well done though, it looks so cool!! ^_^ Well done!!
I finally got in! I miss how the comment boxes used to be too. I love the shiny site! I just want to drool over the fan art now. Though I am unsure how to subscribe to portals though. And for some reason I cannot use the emoticons. Silly AOL
Six-year-olds and nuclear weapons: a combination that just can't be beat.
I feel totally alone! =S
Like I know there are thousands of other users on right now, but I get that feeling that there's no one else here.
Before, I was comfortable, I knew there were a lot of people looking at the same pages I was looking at and just surfing. But not anymore... It's sort of eerie. I was going to look around a bit...
Well it's certainly different. And for the most part I like it so far. I only have two real complaints at this point. One we need more color choices for world pages. But that's something I'm hoping you'll expand with time.
The real dislike? The comment box is annoying as hell. I miss the popup where you could have it over to the side for replying while you read either the blog, update or news article. The new system for comments... Ugh.
Well I kinda feel like this is a disappointment...I will say I love the new look and the new features, however, some of the things that made the "theotaku" don't exist anymore which kinda is a downer. I do hope you plan on bringing some of those things back...and I am sorry but "Hugs"? I think that is kinda patrinizing since we aren't children here...I prefered votes...and what about Status and such? I thought those would change too?
But on the other side I will say the improves look good but I will try to figure things out I guess...
Wow. It's so new and shiny. Great work to everyone that put so much effort into VV. Ya'll rock hard. I'm serious! From just quickly scanning through VV, I've found that it is quite utterly the best anime site out there on the internet! Great work, again.
Arigato gozaimasu! I'm so glad VV is here! You guys have done an awsome job in everything! Its like I'm not even on theotaku anymore. I love the change! This must've been so hard on all of you, but now your work can be paid off! Good Job!
P.S-Blue is my favorite color!

you guys did a super buttwhooping awesome job with making the new version! *breathes in the freshness* keep up the great work, guys! theotaku is just getting better and better (they grow so fast...)
I'm in agreement with Des on the comment boxes. So far I love what I'm seeing, but the lack of separation for the comment box is kind of meh. Since I like having it open and to the side when I respond to stuff. XP
I must say, this new design is great! It's actually better then how I thought it would be. It's nice and sleek and I love how the portfolios and such are set up now. Wonderful job to all!

VV is lookin' pretty sweet. And by sweet I mean [i]totally awesome.[/i] You guys did a great job and I'm loving the new layout. All the little JavaScript effects make me giggle.
I can't say I'm too thrilled about comments not opening in a separate pop-up window anymore though. I liked being able to open up the comments and write one while also being able to look back over the post.
And for the record, I still find it hilarious that everyone else has a cool real name except me. I've still yet to earn my true name - that, or someone else already took it.

Wow the site is really cute and slick. Still getting use to it, but I'll catch on. Hey I already discovered how to comment again, thats one step forward...
I recommend going to myOtaku to find your list of friend names and then going to their portfolios and subscribing to them quickly. If you go to theotaku.com/portfolio/[member name] it'll bring them up!
I like this whole vibrant update, but I'm having a hard time looking for my friend's worlds and such. Could you help me with that? I haven't found the way to look them up yet. I'm sorry for asking you this, but it just seems important to me. Oh and can you tell me why I can't post my imeem playlist?
thanks again for taking time to read this.

SOOOOOOOO many questions I have as is what is what and what we can and cannot post were, what rooms are what, I found a personal page. What Is That??? I sure hope you are going to have a what is what page like a FQA. I am afraid to post anything because I might make a Booboo of what I post on here... heehee. Only found one bug so far and I already commented about it keep up the good work...
I agree with Crimson.There are things that i like about vibrant, one of the things being bigger fanart display.You guys did an outstanding job it looks awesome, don't get me wrong, but it's not easy to use and i think that could be somewhat of a turnoff for some people who are used to the simplicity of theOtaku.
*sigh* Now I have to learn how to navigate, all over again. :( It's quite confusing, and I usually catch on to things very quickly... So I'm not quite sure what's going on.
WEWT!!!! ROCK ON OTAKU!!!! THIS IS AWSOME!!!! May I say u guys have worked amazingly hard to get this done, congratulations!!!! It is very organized. though it'll take me a while to get used to the new feel. I guess I gota browze around and figure wht things r now, but that's part of the fun. :3
Congratulations Adam. The new version is very nice, you and your team did an excellent job. So far so good. I love the Worlds feature and the fact I can create unique blogs for different topics.

I'm so freaking confused here.... TT____TT I can't find anything. I have a lot of questions too, of which will never be answered and my mind will forever wonder about. Like, how will I know when my freidns update? T_T I'm really sorry Adam, maybe I'm just really stupid, but I'm not exactly "thrilled" about V.V. ....

Come to think of it, that's a good idea. Will there be a sort of S&F section for people who get confused, have problems, or have complaints?
...not that I have any complaints. And actually, I really like the escape function for the comment boxes.

@Adam:
A few days?
It'll take me longer than that to get used to everything here. It's so drastically different than the old TheO, but that's kind of part of the adventure, getting to work with something totally new and different than I'm used to.
There are a few hiccups to deal with, like this commenting system which gets in the way of the content you're trying to respond to, for example. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box at times, so I do like to double check things sometimes when I'm speaking about something, and I've caught myself almost saying something completely stupid cause I've misread something and over-reacted to it prematurely.
I do commend each and every one of the people who had a hand in getting this thing going. Have to appreciate their handiwork, each and every one.
Now, if you'll forgive a second off tangent mini-rant, is there an appropriate place to ask questions for the FAQ page? Cause I've got a question or two about stuff in the backroom that really should be covered in the FAQs.

Like I know there are thousands of other users on right now, but I get that feeling that there's no one else here.
Before, I was comfortable, I knew there were a lot of people looking at the same pages I was looking at and just surfing. But not anymore... It's sort of eerie. I was going to look around a bit...
But it's scary here and I want ramen noodles!

Well it's certainly different. And for the most part I like it so far. I only have two real complaints at this point. One we need more color choices for world pages. But that's something I'm hoping you'll expand with time.
The real dislike? The comment box is annoying as hell. I miss the popup where you could have it over to the side for replying while you read either the blog, update or news article. The new system for comments... Ugh.

I can't say I'm too thrilled about comments not opening in a separate pop-up window anymore though. I liked being able to open up the comments and write one while also being able to look back over the post.

I agree with Crimson.There are things that i like about vibrant, one of the things being bigger fanart display.You guys did an outstanding job it looks awesome, don't get me wrong, but it's not easy to use and i think that could be somewhat of a turnoff for some people who are used to the simplicity of theOtaku.
