AAAA

Hi, I used to use this website religiously, but haven’t been watching anime for a while, so I haven’t been. I tried logging in, and I can’t seem to find my account. I understand the website was discontinued in 2019, but I don’t suppose it’s possible to get help somehow? I would love access to my lists again… I can’t remember if I’m misremembering, but I thought you could log in without a Google account, which is what I thought I did, but that doesn’t seem to be an option now. I tried logging in with my Google accounts, and it just made me a new account instead of logging me into my old one. So sorry to contact you here, I couldn’t find an email and wasn’t sure how to contact about issues. I understand if my account isn’t fixable.

You can contact me via Email/Signal or message me on Discord (urbach.dev). Try to remember the name of your old account, if possible, and include any information we could use to find it. If you remember your old email address, it should be possible to find and fix it.

I am questioning one thing how a site with a better than MAL can be dead, like mangabaka downfall was because they lack in UI and their user grown up, but this site is not that bad tbh.

Hi, I understand the sentiment, but development was discontinued in 2019 largely because of financial reasons. Nobody wants to talk about money but at some point you’ve grown up and you need to bring food on the table. Anime DBs / community sites aren’t the greatest money makers, so I had to pivot.

I still keep the site running and pay for the site’s server costs. After moving to a different data center the server costs went down significantly and it’s quite easy to sustain it now. However there is not enough money to support further development.

I hope it answers your question, though I realize that’s likely an unsatisfying reply.

ahh well i understand your situation and reason of this site downfall

Any other projects you are working on? I am a big fan of this website and am also a computer science student. I would be very interested in working with you on something.

Public projects I’m working on are listed on my website. There is a new programming language I’m developing right now, but working on it requires quite a bit of knowledge about compiler architectures.
