I like some of the things their database can do- the site's ability to compare other users' "compatibility" with yourself by what you've rated is quite a novel touch. I avoid their forums however.

They seem to be having network problems. I just loaded the front page OK, clicked to read some unread messages and then lost the connection.

--edit--
Came back briefly, now there's a "down for maintenence message".

I just hope it stays free. Advertisments don't mean anything when you have ABP.

You mean the ads? They were already there before Crave bought MAL.

Disgusting? What do you mean by that? Confused

Don't bother; it's obviously a troll.

Never hear of it TBH is it a site that shows official trailers to films and things like that. Or is it just another site with a shed load of illegal content on it?

The only redeeming factor about the MAL forums is that I don't feel guilty witting one liner posts there. I once posted a 5-6 line response and one of their members accused me of being long winded.

That being said, MAL does have it strengths. I love their compatibility feature. I am also sure to visit their site from time to time to add to my anime list. I just hope this acquisition doesn't add adverts to the site or make the site a paid service. Feel free to send my a friend invite from the MAL site if you wish, I would love the chance to compare anime preferences with anyone from ANN.

I don't use MAL for much other than the anime list itself, but I absolutely love that aspect of it. I feel like it's a way to chronicle my adventures through this particular fandom, not to mention the fact that it's a fantastic organizational tool for keeping track of where I am in what I'm watching. So long as this acquisition doesn't change the list setup or the anime database, I'm fine with it.
