Past Updates

December 11, 2014: Hello everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates here. I haven't been doing much in the terms of this shrine until the last few days. I'm still maintaining my fanlistings and have even opened up a few new ones since April. However, I figured it is time to sit down and work on this website during the month of December into January! I'm currently working on a new layout, about 25 icons, adding a former layout archive, and I'm also hunting down Dragonball fansites. I will be updating the links page with a few this evening and over the course of the month. I doubt I will be updating here on the main page every time.

However, I have some of the best news for this fansite. We're turning six years old next - five years online - in February! I cannot believe it has took me over a year to get this fansite online when it was launched. Anyways, back to that good news...we have our old domain back! Kienzan.net is now back under my ownership after all this time! I'm so happy! Getting that domain back was pure luck (I'll explain more as I work on the new layout) and pure randomness! The old domain currently redirects to this one. I currently have no plans in moving the fansite from this domain however currently. ^^; I may end up moving this fansite to a subdomain on this one but you can now link back under the old domain name!

I don't know what I'm going to do domain/link wise just yet, however, feel free to update your links to Kienzan.net! I am not, however, planning on changing the name to this website after all this time. ^^; That will stay the same however I will not be giving up the Kienzan.net name either...so hopefully things will work out when I can think clearly about the future direction of my other fansites too. (:

April 13, 2014: Well, exactly 11 months later I'm doing a minor update. I apologize for the lack of updates here. I plan to work on this shrine more in the upcomming months (this summer). However, Laura made a bunch of icons for people to use for TFL's Secret Santa Exchange this past December. So, I want to thank her for the icons. I was also very surprised to see this shrine was listed at Amassment too! I was very shocked to see that and it made me smile.

Well, I hope every has a blessed wonderful Easter and I pray that the summer heat does not hit everyone too early (at least us here in the northern hemisphere). :D May 18, 2013: Not much in the news of the website except we have a revamp! :D I'm trying to get back into my web designs after TFL went down, I've sorta taken a hiatus from my fanlistings and have not designed anything - for months. I think this layout sorta shows this as well. I did try a different design here this time, so if any weird things show up feel free to let me know.

I am planning on going through and updating various content over the summer as I can catch up with some television shows and rewatch them. Thank goodness for the lack of school. I did make a few new icons as well. speaking of icons, Usagi has made a lot of new icons that you all need to check out! I may have to "kidnap" one to use once TFL gets back online. :P I also got my links back up after...two years? *facepalm*

Also, I caved and got me a Tumblr!! I guess you can say it is my new blog/photoblog. No one really updates LJ anymore and I see no point in updating it if no one is either. January 17, 2013: OMG...an update here. Well, I have been updated the past few weeks I just have not updated certain things without making an updat due to me wanting to get this website a bit up to...standards. I went through and cleared out all old affiliates besides two (who both should be getting an e-mail about in a few days) about the new URL and this place being off of hiatus.

I will not be uploading any clips to this server, so most likely I will just post links to YouTube on those. I've started to work on a new batch of icons for this place. It is amazing how your graphics change. Also, all music videos featured on the music video page all feature Krillin. It is hard to believe when there are Krillin tributes online, they have some of the worst music.

I want to work on a new layout for here but honestly, I still like this layout design. I haven't really been around to look at it. Maybe in about a month or two? January 1, 2011: Well, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. So does anyone make a type of resolution? Most of the time if I make on, I really do not ever follow through with it or forget what I made as one. However, the year of 2011 seems to be holding a lot of promises! We shall see what the year holds for everyone!

I know this is a rather weird topic to bring up, but I was browsing through a website directory the other day which dated back to almost 1999, if I recall correctly. Well, all of the websites in the directory were dead or on hiatus. I know some of the URLs were from Geocities, but ever since they stopped allowing free website hosting, thousands of "old school" anime/manga websites disappeared off the Internet. I am currently looking around at the Dragonball, Sailor Moon, and Inu-Yasha online communites respectfully and doing some comparing and contrasting within each of them. Now, I would like to note this is not an "offical" thing or anything, but just some results I found on my own. To my shock, there seems to be a lot more Dragonball websites disappearing faster than the other two fandoms. However, there was not as many Inu-Yasha websites around I have been able to find. So, well done everyone who owns a Sailor Moon website! :D Hopefully, I will be able to find some active Dragonball websites which are shrines or specific types like I find for Sailor Moon a lot. I just wish so many old school websites were not vanishing...like SME or SailorJupiter.com (which has not been updated it looks like in well over year). Maybe 2011 will not show a great loss in anime/manga websites this year, unlike last year.

In another news, I was visiting my favorite radio station's website, K-Love, and I found an interesting topic about Hotmail accounts liked on the "Your Life" section of the news. There seems to be a problem with e-mails disappearing. I know lately there does seem to be problems going on with some of the free e-mail providers at times. When I send an e-mail anyone to @gmail.com account from any @kienzan.net e-mails, they get sent to the spam section or are not sent at all. This is become a problem with my fanlistings because many people sign up with Hotmail and GMail accounts. As of lately, Yahoo has been taking my e-mails from this domain without any problems. Hotmail has just been marking them as spam. GMail...it feels like a lost cause trying to deal with that. December 24, 2010: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I learned this time of the year, many people forget how to drive (at least in the United States). We almost got hit three times on our way to a small convience store. It is kind of terrible because we only live a few blocks from the store. So, if you are all traveling to your respective festivies, please travel safe. Anyways, I got a wonderful gift given to me by Usagi. Plus, I want to thank all of the affiliates from the Eien no Melody Network (meaning, all of my websites almost) for responding to the e-mails and wishing me a very Merry Christmas.

Edit: I also wanted to give a shout out to John. Do not worry...the shoppers at Wal-Mart can be very evil at times. Just do not let them ruin your Christmas. December 22, 2010: Happy Holidays, everyone! Please do not use the guestbook for spam. I used stricter security settings on it, but please do not spam it. It really is a waste of your time and mine.

I also played with the text for the website some and made some better changes to it. Honestly, I was not thinking when I was made the current style sheet (also called a CSS) with the links and so on. Hopefully the text is a bit easier to read as well. :D Speaking of changes, Charming-Up.org is short "revamping" phase as I redo the content and make it more interesting. I feel bad for not touching it months on end.

For the last bit, I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday season and blessed New Year's! Here is a free gift for everyone in celebration of the holiday season:

December 10, 2010: I really need to apologize. The website was not updated during November because of school and I really did not have much time around at all. Oddly enough, I never did get around to showing a few updates I did on the website which got pointed out to me in an e-mail. Anyways, here are a few updates you might enjoy:

  • I installed a guestbook finally. I kept getting upset I could not find a decent guestbook program and then remembered I had the CPanel from my host and I browsed through some of the programs that came with it...and boom. Only flaw is this guestbook runs on a MySQL database and hopefully I won't experience any problems with that. To view it, please visit the website page. (:
  • Some of the content has been cleaned up as well.
  • October 30, 2010: Happy Halloween! Okay, so I am a day early but none the less I figured I would go ahead and shout out to everyone who celebrates the holiday. I remember getting read these in class the other day (so weird, considering it is a college class) but none the less my professor thought it was a good idea to share these for college age students who will be celebrating Halloween this year.

    In the website news, I would like to take a chance to welcome our newest affiliate. Thank you for offering to affiliate with us. If I get more affilaites in the future, I will most likely need to use a code to place the affiliates on each page or use smaller buttons. (;

    October 20, 2010: I apologize for not updating very recently in the past few weeks. I have been crammed with essays and it has really been taking a total on my free time to try and update here. I have not even updated Charming-Up.org, but I am planning on revamping the website and rewriting the information as well. I do hope you look foward to some of the upcoming events. As for new revamps (if you have not already seen them) I wanted to point out a few places:

    I just got through finishing a new layout for my personal domain. I really had fun making the layout and I hope you drop by to visit. ;)

    Although the layout has been up for almost all of October, I wanted to go ahead and advertise this. My fanlisting collective was recently redone as well.

    Usagi has done a great job in wonderful new layout for the John Lennon fanlisting (TFL approved)! Stop by and give it a glance if you will. Great job! September 13, 2010: I finally managed to managed to finish revamping my fanlisting collective, Kirari no Melody. If you get the time, you should check it out and stop by. Updates might be slightly slower for a while still as I get caught up my homework and I am pleased to say so far my GPA is very good. I cannot wait until I have fall break for my campus.

    Anyways, I opened up a small community on LiveJournal if you want to see some random updates for different things on my websites (besides this one). I will also do some random "fan" entries as well from time to time.

    August 23, 2010: I would like to say sorry for the lack of updates around here as of lately. I have been busy with my college classes that recently started up and my hands are VERY tired already from the English papers. However, I managed to get some free time in today to work on some fanfiction that I will be updating on FanFiction.net as well as updating some of the URLs in that section soon as well. I also managed to finally finish Tien's fanlisting was finished just a few minutes ago! I had a lot of fun doing it and I was inspired slightly by Beth-chan, who recently has been doing some SPM trials and I hope she scored good on them. (I really need to check LiveJournal as well). Anyways, if you like Tien, please visit his fanlisting. ^-^

    August 4, 2010: I recently got tired of seeing the same color over and over again on this website, so I made a new layout. I also was inspired by several people at the AnimeFanlistings.org revamping their fanlistings and also, my wonderful affiliate Usagi and Mamoru's Universe with a new layout and celebrating nine years (August 3, 2001)! I I feel very honored to have them as an affiliate! If you see any errors on the website, please let me know. I added four new icons and I'm planning on expanding the media section soon as well and updated the theories page. That will be the only question I will ever answer anymore that involves two different animes for and/or against each other.

    Edit: There are also some new codes that have been added, so I hope you enjoy those! ^-^

    July 22, 2010: Son Goku is scheduled to make an appearence in Thailand soon! Rather, his character is going to be the host of a cultural event going in Thailand between the Thai and the Japanese. Also, Funimation has released several Dragonball Kai and Dragonball Z things you can check out on their websites. There has not been much updates going on around the website as I should be, though I have been slowly working on some more sections for the multimedia and planning several other things for this website. In other news, I would like to say that Charming-Up.org has been updated finally, so if you are a Pokémon fan head that way.

    July 15, 2010: I feel slightly bad, as I have not made a lot of updates on any of my websites since June ended. However, I am excited to say that I have opened a Facebook page for this website that I will be posting up soon if you want to follow up on some of the events that will be happening soon. I was thinking of having an icon contest soon though I am out of some ideas on how exactly I can work that. I will post an update with more news on it soon.
