    Donations and donator status

    A VIP system is definitely a good idea. Like I said, the donor-system and priviliges are still under development and refinement. Expect VIPs (when chosen) to have similar priviliges to donors. The "thanks" system is only one way of deciding how much a member contrbutes to this forum though. And...

    Akiba-Online new theme

    Akiba-Online theme is going to change with the season. Since it's spring now, the winter theme is no longer the default, but if you don't like the spring theme, you can still choose the winter theme. [Winter] [Spring]

    Forum Speed

    If you've noticed the forum is slower than usual sit tight. If you haven't noticed, congrats. There are some serverside issues being looked into. Hopefully the forum will be running quickly and smoothly again very soon.

    Donations and donator status

    Keeping the forum running isn't free, it's a fair amount of server costs. The small text-ads that most of you block anyway don't go very far, so I'm calling for help in the form of donations. Any money will go into monthly bills and upgrades.

    DLSite Policy [10-April-2007]

    Due to the nature of DLSite and the inconvenience of Cease and Desist Orders, Akiba-Online now has a no dlsite stuff policy. The following works have had their threads deleted (sorry guys) http://eng.dlsite.com/work/=/product_id/RE030288.html...

    hello To All

    I always thought T3 was closer to 40Mbit. You could carry google with 3-10Gb/s. Large datacentres don't have that kind of bandwidth. You sure you don't mean "the most ive ever gotten it to was 3.5MiB/s"? because that's more likely. As for RAID, that's what there to stop stuff from failing.

    Max avatar size setting

    As it stands the massive majority of users here are on 1024x768; therefore the forum is optimised for this resolution. e.g. 4 attachments per row banner width etc. A concern is avatars may be too intrusive at this resolution, but I too urge anyone with a 17" display or bigger: increase your...

    Max avatar size setting

    Actually I've been toying with the idea of reducing the max.avatar dimensions setting for a while now. It was novel at first, but as the forum grows larger, especially the number of leechers, the stress on the server to display all those large avatars must at least affect the server performance...

    Imagining the Tenth Dimension

    By finite infinities I meant that in a true infinity, everything would be represented. If there can be multiple representations of infinity, that infinity isn't infinity. At least not the infinity I know, which encompasses everything. I can't conceptualise the difference between 31 cats and 32...

    Imagining the Tenth Dimension

    Good videos. Though I always thought string theory presented 11 dimensions.

    hentai or anime

    Anime is awesome, or at least can be. Same for manga. Hentai manga is a little obsession of mine, but hentai anime is not. I think my appreciation of H-games will come back when my japanese improves. If there was a poll i'd pick 'anime.

    Further JAV subsections.

    http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/tags/ I can't stress enough how useful the tag system "could" be. As for extending the JAV subforum, sounds like a fair enough idea in theory, though the current system of organisation works ok too. Separating DVD-images and Rips sounds like a good idea yea.
