Hmm I. Don't know how u feel about "a new vision for the sites future" I really like Mal how it is now I can't really think of anything to improve it I really am hoping they don't just mess up the entire site like most companies do when they buy another company. I guess only time will tell.

I came across this the other day, and I really hope that the anime database and profile side of things remain as those two are focal point of the site. I don't know how this change will affect the site in terms of the current staff as anime is submitted to the database by users, pending review by a database moderator/admin, so the change of ownership could affect the entire system. Hopefully they don't try to cash out by making this side of the site part of some premium subscription or something which they try to tie in to their store.

I would recommend to all who use the site to generate their anime and manga lists, to periodically export their lists which can be done by viewing their lists and selecting export under the list options.

The best thing about the site imo is the recommendation function and the ability to see your anime list stats, days watched, etc.

Hopefully if there is an overhaul to the site these sections are enhanced, not taken away!
