I hate when I finally start getting good hits from a topsite or start rising in the ranks and then an owner decides to change things. Like at top101animesites where I started using an animated banner featuring some clothed girls with no nudity or anything, but because I’m pulling in more hits then anyone else on the list they take my banner down with no warning and put their shitty little 88×31 button up in it’s place. Isn’t that a little rude or is it just me. I noticed a couple other banners were taken down from other sites as well that had anime girls on them. These were primarily animated banners with girls though, so maybe it’s because big file due to long animations. So I made another banner real quick that isn’t animated and had less girls on it and we’ll see if it stays up, if not I’ll be writing some e-mails. There’s no reason the banner i have now isn’t acceptable so if it gets changed then it’s ridiculous. Could be other members contacted the owner and complained about our methods.Don’t blame me people are more attracted to anime girls on a banner, so I’m punished for smart marketing?

Then you have topsites like the anime100.com network that claims to be the “undisputed largest anime topsite” there is. Well when you don’t delete inactive members and have been around 10+ years you should be big. To bad they barely get enough members sending hits to fill up the first page. Then they have the nerve to not allow other topsites to join and advertise because there worried their members might realize how shitty they are. Hell my topsite sends as many hits to members as anime100 and I’ve been around about a year. Another one is topsites that don’t allow animated banner or banners over like 20-30kb, that’s like nothing to work with. Plus anyone with internet should be able to load animated banner, even 10-20 of them, perfectly fine. That’s why you limit banners to the members that earn them and let them be animated. Don’t hate on sites because they’re good at marketing, just get better yourself or hire some help. :p

I’ve just been in the anime community a long time, longer then most of the webmasters in it now, and just because I don’t have any of the most popular sites doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on and see the changes in the community and see the assholes. I also don’t like sites or people claiming to be the best when they clearly aren’t.
