AnimeCity is now officially offline. Negotiations with my ISP have ended. A search for a new ISP has begun.
All DSL Services with my ISP, CADVision, now have a 1 megabit per day limit on them. This is official. They will be notifying all their DSL customers within the next few weeks. Furthermore, their Marketing department has been notified to stop saying there is unlimited bandwidth on DSL lines.
If you wish to contact me, it's paper@full-moon.com My sincere apologies to anyone trying to access the pages on AnimeCity. |

Did an anime site that once was here disappear? Take a look at AnimeCity Expats Please bookmark it so that you can get back to it without going to this page. |

AnimeCity Prediction: Coma | |
Unless some miracle happens like my ISP saying "Oops, we did actually mean 1 gigaBYTE per day instead of gigabit", AnimeCity will cease to exist completely within a matter of days. It's expected to re-open several weeks later (2 ~ 4), but there will be nothing of interest for the majority of the people who have visited it in the past. The *only* thing that will remain open after AnimeCity's "coma" will be FMC. Hopefully by then, v2 will be ready.. all depends on how much time I have. There is a small chance that I'll be able to put up the gallery for a few days every month, but I will not know if that's possible until the time comes. |

New rules.. anyone have a 33.6 modem? | |
Well, here's the deal. I can have my bandwidth speed cap removed if I keep my total bandwidth per day under 1 gigabit. That's 128M/day. Fake Moon Chat wouldn't even be able to run under that situation..
Just a little factiod, but a 33.6 modem running 24 hours a day can upload about 256M. That's *double* what the new cap would be. DOUBLE.
The only difference is the burst of speed (33.6 would be slow all the time, DSL would be superfast, but you could only use it for about 2 1/2 hours every day..)

Older News.. | |
My ISP is now aware that I wish to come to some sort of compromise with them. From what I understand, I'm still not even supposed to know there is a bandwidth cap on my account. I still haven't even received an official word (E-Mail; Letter; Phone Call) from them on the reason for the cap (or that I have the cap).
NEW: An excerpt from an E-Mail Thank you for you email. Contrary to what you might have heard we do not impose any sort of transfer limits or bandwidth restrictions on any of our DSL accounts. You are free to upload and download as much as you wish. Although I cannot guarantee or make any promises on our future bandwidth policy I cannot see this policy changing anytime in the future. Our new pricing structure is based on the fact that many of our competitors are imposing transfer limits. This is one way that we are trying to differentiate ourselved from out competitors. I hope that I have answered your questions sufficiently. If you have have any further questions or concerns please do not hesistate to contact us. umm... yeah... sure.. umm.. wait.. I'm on a DSL line.. and.. umm.. my account has a bandwidth cap on it.. umm.. yeah.. hello.. x_x
Guess what? ah hell, you can probably already guess what the outcome of my conversation with them about the e-mail was.. >:(

Have you heard that Card Captor Sakura is going to be on TV? | |
Well, there's a good and a bad to that.
On the good side, once again good anime will be "in everyone's home", and popularity of anime will skyrocket.
On the bad side, we don't know what they dubbers and censors are going to cut and change from it. (Just for one example is the story of the teachers marrying a high school student.)
So, what's the best solution? Have 2 versions, of course! Get the dub on the air and into millions of people's homes, and make a subtitled version that is true to the original japanese version of the story.
How do we do this?
So go there and sign the petition!!!
(Please only sign it if you are willing to buy the subtitled version of it) |
