Yomiko Readman All our staffers have been extremely busy with the load of work presented by our real lives alongside the fact many of us have been taking vacations because of the very nice weather lately. Yomiko Readman Just because we've been taking more breaks lately doesn't mean that we're less popular, does it? We're only human, after all. ^_^ Kuni I guess but what I really mean to say is, there doesnt seem to be many people at the forums and stuff anymore. Mahoro Hopefully, that's a good thing! That means there are people going outside to enjoy their summers more... or at least not being online as often. Kuni Oh? is that so... Aura I... don't go outside.. at all. -.-;;; Kuni What does Aura do in her spare time besides helping kite and his friends, or shugo and his friends? Aura I play tag. Kuni with who? Rockman.EXE Tag! You're it! Kuni But you're digital, you can't touch me ^^ Rockman.EXE Uh... but I'm in your mouse as we speak! And now I'm in your keyboard! Ha HA! Can't catch me, can't catch me! Kuni I'll get that group of 4 crazy elementary students to hack you! Shugo Kunisaki @#$^!*(@&#)(*()#$(*) DATA... DRAIIIINNN Kuni Oh cmon! Shugo never really hurt the kids in the anime did he.. Shugo Kunisaki Oh, but I would have. Ironically, they got theirs in the end. Why, if I knew them in real life... there's no telling what I would have done. I mean, they put my sister in a coma! What would YOU do? Kuni Well, I hate my sister so... :\, And after you beat the wandering AI didn't everyone come back to life? Lain Iwakura Everyone cept those 3 kids. Word has it, some random kid went into the hospital ward and unplugged those three from their life support units. Shugo Kunisaki I uhh.. had nothing to do with that. Yeah. Nothing. Lain Iwakura So he says. Kuni Sorry i got confused at that point -.- in the series Otakon The boards, the site, the comic, and Faito are all going through a particularly busy time; A lot of us are busy, some of us with stuff we can't talk about (Sorry), and some with stuff that's well know. The Nekobox folk have attended, in the last several months: Acen Fanime San Diego Comic Con And will be attending Otakon in the coming month. This is also a time when some of our staffers got jobs (Woo!) which means their attendant responsibilities in the forum and Faito have been correspondingly diminished. The unfortunate result of all of these events is the slight decay and entropic reduction of the site; less comics, less posts, less rants, and less responses. Fear not, as people recover, learn to cope with their new workloads, and become tired of hunting Gears, you will see renewed activity all around. Solid Snake Hey Otakon, that's not open for public consumption. Otakon Oh, oops, sorry 'bout that.
