This glorious occasion marks the end of my original two year lease on the domain of www.baka-raptor.com. For two years I've paid good money for this site, and you got it all for free. I can't believe how generous I am. Somebody should give me a medal.

I only gave myself two years so that I could quit if I ever lost interest in updating this site. Regrettably, that's exactly what's happened. I'm extremely busy, I've lost interest in writing, and I don't feel like wasting anymore money on this bullshit.

Just kidding. I'd rather get punched in the solar plexus than abandon this site.

Baka-Raptor lives for another two years! However, true to my original plan, I've reevaluated this website and decided to make a few changes:

1. I am now Baka-Raptor

You know that dinosaur in the purple hat? Now that's me. It'll save me the trouble of correcting everyone who already refers to me as Baka-Raptor.

2. Everything I write will be about anime (or at least under the pretext of anime)

During the early days of this website, I assumed I could write approximately half my posts about random crap and still be on schedule with my anime posts. I was a little off...

Here are a few of my original ideas that never got their own post:

• Rating the School Rumble fansubbing groups (got absorbed into my Clannad aspect ratio post)
• How to make a series better: Add Lesbians (mentioned repeatedly but never got its own post)
• Japanese words you should know by now (now that I've taken a class in Japanese, this probably won't happen)
• Don't call me a pussy for watching Full Moon (I'm pretty sure I've never mentioned this)
• Men with Girly Voices (absorbed into my Dubs vs. Subs post)
• Gay anime characters (mentioned repeatedly but never got its own post)
• Arm positions (this was Ghetto's idea. I'm not quite sure what it means...)
• Types of filler (I definitely want to do this)

3. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaay is now Geyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Apparently I've been spelling it wrong this whole time.

4. I will eventually switch to Wordpress

If it sucks, I'll switch back. However, it looks promising:

Advantages:

• A lot less work for me
• Quicker posts
• Superior organization
• Fancy graphics and applications
• Less reliance on my increasingly unstable laptop
• Better search engine visibility
• Comments

Disadvantages:

• It may take a few minutes to figure out how to use it
• Comments

If the comments devolve into that rofl my wofl crap, I'll disable them.

I'll probably attempt to switch over to Wordpress sometime in March. Don't freak out if the website looks like shit for a few days. In any case you should be used to it.

Finally, I'd like to thank the fans, whether you're from New York, Texas, California, Hawaii, Canada, England, Chile, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Malaysia, the Triassic continent of Pangea, or any other place where some people/dinosaurs apparently don't suck. You guys amuse me to no end. You're the originals, and your emails/comments/recommendations will take priority over anyone else's:

You vs. Another anime website. Winner: You

You vs. A New Fan. Winner: You

You vs. Another original fan. Winner: You

You vs. Maddox. Winner: Maddox

You vs. My Mom. Winner: You

You vs. Me. Winner: Me (I was my own biggest fan from day one)
