Admin Message: Forum Comments Needed

Plans for website updates and site restructuring in 2 months time.

I need comments on the structure of the website now. Friendly? What changes do you think would be nice?

How about the format of the forum? Can you navigate with ease? Is it too slow? How about new forum categories?

Post your comments and suggestions here. Thanks, all suggestions will be considered and replied.

hii

can you make more *.swf song??? like the one u make for summer snow. and etc..

thanks

i think u should put more new dramaz and old dramaz liek u took down itazura na kiss
also i think u should find more picturez cuz sometime i'm not sure if dat'z da jap artist i wanna find
and finally i think u should actually reply the emailz instead of having a auto response
this way we dunno the answer to our questions

I like your site but I wish you can update/add new dramas more often. I would like to see some reviews from your site before I purchase a drama. There are a lot of reviews in the forum discussions and its not listed. I know this is a lot of work! Do you have help gathering information?

I really like your site ^-^.
The problem is some incomplete information of drama, such as the themesong, the character profile, etc.
Well, I know it must be hard to complete all of them.
About the background colour, I think I'd be good if it isn't really dark ^-^.

I think you can modify the message board by putting the main topics on the left frame. The messages would appear in the main frame.

As for artiste information, I would be glad if you can put more information on Mitsuhiro Oikawa. I can provide you with the information. I am a fan of him and I actually have some information of him on hand.

Thanks.

Gin

Thanks for the comments so far,

Michi: Usually I make the SWF files out of instrumental music. Let me know if you have preferences and the MP3 to start with. :)

marzyu: Itazura na Kiss was gone from the database for unknown reasons.. (maybe database error) not intentionally taken off.

The autoresponses are just to let you know I've received the emails. I do read the emails, but will only reply immediately to the important ones. I know I've left alot of mails unanswered recently, but I still keep them in a folder, hopefully with time soon to reply.

About reviews, any one can think of a better way to implement it? Few are writing the reviews, or most are simply putting 1-liner comments only. Others just post their comments in the forum coz its more convenient.

As for updates, I usually hunt the TV station websites for information. Will try to update by June. Currently, all information on the site have been gathered by myself only. I do have some nice people sending me photos of the artistes though.

thee: The background?? Looks like an underground earthworm city eh? Maybe it'll change, we'll see :)

Gin07: I thought the topics are already displayed in the left frame? Or do you mean categories? You can send the information on Mitsuhiro Oikawa to [email protected]. All such emails will be referred to when I do the next update.

Awaiting more comments and suggestions! :)

Genma, i have lots of japanese drama theme song & none theme song mp3 !!! Just give me a shout if you need my help !! ^_^

Thanks

thanx for replying me soooo quick ^^~!
u are sure one cool webmaster
but may i ask some personal questionz? how much did u pay for this website [domain]

Hi Genma,
Sorry for creating misunderstanding. The main categories only would be on the left frame and the sub topics on the main scene. I went to this Chinese discussion board and I like the layout and the facilities there. You may like to have it as a reference.

(you would have to log on to the board as a guest)

I can also have a personal profile, signature, icon, etc. You may see a photo of me, my signature as 'ii izumi desu' and a Chinese poem, written by me. Of course, all these may be a little redundant. I think it's pretty interesting and adds personal touch.... instead of just posting messages.

I have acutally put Mitchi (Mitsuhiro Oikawa) information in the form of a web site.

http://sg.geocities.com/nine11vs98degrees/mitchi/mitchi.htm

You may like to get the information from there.

Thanks.

Hope the best of success of this web site.

Love,
Gin

i noticed a problem
whenever i click on a drama or artist the number don't seem to change?

hi....

maybe my subject is quite same with somebody. since the japanese song/themesong quite difficult to find, why don't you create some link or put them in this website. i'm sure we will help you to send some of the mp3 song.

Zealous

Update the site more often if possible. I send a few links before but they were never put up.

Thanks for replying my comment.
I can't wait for the changes ^-^.
Well, I'd like to offer my help if you need the theme song, ringtones, etc.
I'll try to help as I can ^-^.

Thanks for your offers to help Michi and thee, I'll remember that in the next update. :)

marzyu:
The domain costs US$15 per year and the site costs US$9.99 per month. This site is hosted on a US server.

The "views" on this website do not increment if you click on it repeatedly. It recognises the last person who clicked on the artiste/drama and will not increment if its the same person clicking. Its to discourage people from "supporting" their favorite drama/artiste by clicking alot of times and overloading the server. (hence slowing it down)

Gin07:
I couldn't access the Chinese forum you mentioned. Will try again later. Additional information on yourself would be cool.. I'll need to compile the list of things to add.

Thanks for the info on Mitchi, do keep it online, coz I will access it again later.

zealous:
I do have most of the Japanese drama MP3s, but hosting them is the biggest problem. We need a server that is reliable, fast enough, with the amount of space needed. Most MP3 links on the web are temporary, as they'll be removed once the free host discovers them.

Furthermore, its not really legal to put the songs online (even lyrics are copyrighted in that sense, but they are not too strict with that). You won't want the site to be closed down coz of the MP3s right? :)

Sakuraba Yuichiro:
I have received the links and information bits sent by users, but hadn't had time to update due to the large numbers. Will do so in the next update as mentioned earlier.


How does everyone think of a chat channel?
I'll try to find a way to run a chat server here.. just wondering how's the response to one? I haven't seen anyone using the current one now :P

sorry to say this... but... somethings has happen to the login page.... i click once in the login oage and it does not works!!! so i hafta login as a guest!!! please help admins!!!

the server can be down suddenly... and the whole site can be laggy... actually i feel that adding personal information like one of the previous msg stated would add on to the belonging of one to this site. i personally frequent forums, but there's one where i can identity with through more interaction between the forumers... and that one, i've been frequenting it for the past 3 or 4 year, even when the old one closed down and 'migrated'

u can find some trustworthy forumers or this website-goers to help in updating of this site. as for reviews of doramas, i feel that thru the current system in the forum 'my doramas' of rating the doramas u've watched, the reviews can also be posted at the same time to the respective doramas review.

hope that this website would be more successful in all ways! good luck!

Hi Genma,

I don't watch a lot of Jdorama, except those artistes (Esumi Makiko, Mitsuhiro Oikawa, Fujiki Naohito) I like. If you don't mind, I can write a longer and hopefully constructive one and send it to you though e-mails.

I plan to watch Hatsu Taiken. The show I have watched recently is 'Koi ga shitai X 3'.

There is an older show with Mitsuhiro Oikawa and Seto Asaka. This is also Mitchi's leading man show, besides 'koi'. I can write a review on that. I shall send it to you soon. The title of the show is 'hare ki koko ichiban'.

Once again, Thanks for keeping the site going and good luck!

Gin
