I found this website through my sister telling me about it and I don't know how she found it, probably through random searching.

Haha thanx. I'm almost always on here too. I don't know why but I am. And a lot of the time, I'm not trying to be funny. I just see a post, and write the fourth thing that pops into my head.
Well no matter why they picked you, they did. So do a good job. I believe in you! :D

thank you i will do my very best, and the fact you arent trying to be funny is probably the main reason you are, those that try too hard to be funny usually fail.

Unless they are naturally comedic geniuses. Like Douglas Adams! I read Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency, and I started reading The Long Dark Tea Time of the soul before I had to stop cause I had 3 novels to read for school. But I am currently reading all five Hitchhikers guides. Cause I loved the BBC series. He's probably where my thoughts come from. (And I really need to stop typing so much in every response XD)

i'm having the same problem with long responses tonight lol, and the point about comic geniuses is kinda incalid the reason they are so funny is because they dont try too hard, they try just hard enough lol from what interviews i've read from douglas adams he doesnt force any of his stories he just writes what comes naturally to him. i love the hitchhickers guide books btw!

heck yeah! I started reading it in class when I finished my test early and I didn't realize that I was laughing out loud. I got in trouble. But when I explained that I was reading The Hitchhikers Guide by Douglas Adams, My teacher laughed and understood why I was laughing so I was let off the hook. XD

I noticed you before too! Actually I've notice everyone that has a picture and has posted in a thread that I've been in. Because I have a great memory. Unless I'm trying to memorize a song or study for a test, then my head just won't work right...

I met the Ani.Me crew during AX2010 at a bar probably two blocks away from the convention center where they proceeded to hand me a "I<3Ani.Me" sticker and a beer. Two days later I signed up for the website and emailed AnimeEv about contributing/writing for the site and he said, "Okay!" and then the website was just chillin' 'till December when it suddenly BLEW UP and I was like "Woah! Killer dood!" and ya, that's pretty much all I have to say right now.

Facebook ad. I saw win free anime stuff and hit like(Which is odd for me because I, like Ronin and Jyrz, never like ads. Nor do I normally even look at them.) but then didn't figure out this site exsisted until a couple weeks later and then I joined and so far I haven't won anything like my orignal plan was but found a great place to talk to people on. So here I am now posting on this forum, for the same reason as a lot of us. Facebook ad. ^_^

I'm guessing that my answer is the same as most peoples. I believe that I liked the Ani.Me page on facebook, then they started to say that you could win free anime. Clicked on the website that they had posted, and signed up because that was the only way to get the free stuff. As soon as I signed up, I tried to enter the free contests, but thought that I need the AP. Turns out that most of the stuff that was free never needed AP, just the one thing I was trying to get at the time. ^_^ Anyways, I started posting a few things on different forums, and BAM!!!!! I'm here today, and loving it. :P

So from all these comments I have learned two things:
1. A lot of people use Facebook
2. If you are trying to sell something(even for free) the best way is to advertise on Facebook.

yeah, I got the mobile app for my iphone and realized it was completely different and i was not able to talk to my friends from the site, the only log in I could do is either my facebook account or from a twitter account and not from this actual site, so my friends were not there, I quickly deleted the app for I did not use it

yeah, the mobile app is completely different, it lets you log in by facebook or twitter and have friends that way, but not by your username on the actual site, I guess it is good for pics and articles but that is it, I got rid of my Ani.me app for that reason
