BUU8800 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Is really starting to get fucking annoying already! That is all.

scope Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I usually just use the site for news or ideas of what to watch next, but I understand the outrage from some of the fans, they've handled this pretty poorly.
BUU8800 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 Extremely poorly if we're being brutally honest. It sucks huge donkey dick, but at the same time it is what it is. Still though, RABBLE! RABBLE! RABBLE! 1
scope Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Could only imagine if I actually paid for any of the crap they offer, then I'd be upset.
BUU8800 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 Oh absolutely. I saw a comment elsewhere about that yesterday. Pretty hilariously ridiculous really.
PokeNirvash Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Between the site going down for maintenance, them forcibly locking my account because of some bullshit security problem, the e-mail I used to register my account being too defunct for me to use it to recover my password, and my currently partaking in the 2018 Anime Watching Challenge on-site... yeah, I've gotta say this is some steaming hot bullshit.
Chapinator_X Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 It has been a pain to look up shows and seiyuu without it, especially with the Summer season coming up soon. I'm not too critical of them needing to take their time on the site's maintenance and don't have much of a use for the show tracker after the switch to Kitsu, but it does help to have more to work with than just ANN, Anidb, or Wikipedia for sources.
Guest The Hound Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Oh my god. No! I have made good friends over there. This is horrible news. The site has been shit for years but the people I've made friends with off there have been my friends for like 10 years now. I went there during my ASMB IP ban.

Yeah I was planning on making the Summer 2018 thread tonight and it's gonna be much more annoying without it. Kitsu is alright, I gots one that hasn't been updating in 2 years, but I still consider the layout vastly inferior to MAL. I actually started an Anilist over this shit and I'd rank them above Kitsu too.
DragonSinger Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 It's fucking annoying and reminds me how much I rely on that site. Lazy me put off importing my lists onto another site. I want to update my lists so badly right now just because I can't. Sad otaku is sad. 1
Ric Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I don't regularly update mine anymore so didn't know there are problems. This must be less than a week though right? Swore I went there to check something recently and all seemed fine.
BUU8800 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 We're at the three and a half day mark currently. Though a few days before that there was something of a guffaw that forced everyone to make new passwords. Then a day or two passed normally, now this garbage.
DragonSinger Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I made an Anilist account just so I could put some anime in lists.
BUU8800 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Yup, me too, but I'm far too lazy to put all 1000 entries. Still it's a start. Waiting for MAL to come back to import the ones I miss. I'll probably still keep MAL as my primary list site, ASSUMING IT EVEN COMES BACK, but I'll try and more regularly update kitsu and anilist too. It's strange, but not having MAL really has slowed down my anime watching too. I still get my seasonals in, but I know I'd have watched more over the last few days than I have had they not gone down.

CaptainStarwind Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Oh, good to know I'm not the only one who's pissed about this! I don't know what the hell is going on with MAL right now. I'm sincerely considering other options (Anilist, etc.) at this point.
BUU8800 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 Take the plunge @CaptainStarwind! Give in to your anger! Let the hate flooooow through you! 1
PokeNirvash Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Everyone here talking about alternative online options, while I'm just logging my progress manually through two offline means (one digital, one physical).
BUU8800 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 Oh I'm actually keeping a written list of all the anime I've watched this year. Funnily enough your list from late last year inspired me to do it PokeNirvash so I have been doing it all year as a matter of fact. I'm actually at 922 individual episodes this year currently. Though about 50 to 100 are shorts, but about a dozen are full length movies(I count one movie as one episode) so maybe that balances it out I dunno.
BUU8800 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Some might say sad, but either way. I actually set 2 goals for myself at the start of the year. 700 because iirc you were in the mid 600s at the end of last year, and then 1000 as a stretch goal of sorts. So once I hit that, assuming I do, I'll probably slow down. Edited June 1, 2018 by BUU8800
blueraven1999 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 It's driving me crazy too. I'm too lazy to join another anime site so I think I'll go back to doing what I used to do before I joined MAL and look in the anime thread to figure out the last episode of a show that I last watched. I don't think I'd have to look too far back.
BUU8800 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 And assuming it doesn't come back within the next 30 minutes we will have officially passed the 4 day mark. How long will it stay down? Nobody knows... 1
The1gairon Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 What? What's happening? I use MAL and never have a problem.
The1gairon Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 ... okay so they're down for maintenance? Okay then that means they'll go back up! Random Curiosity, which one of our members works on, went down for a week and then went back up. What's to stop MAL from doing the same? Coincidentally, all my anime watching this season is on the weekends, so I happened to TOTALLY miss them going down until now right after my last added entry to my list on Sunday.
BUU8800 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 Yeah but MAL going down fucking sucks elfie. Random Curiosity going down was just luck....okay. NOTE THE DIFFERENCE!
The1gairon Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Make a list elsewhere like in a Word doc or TextEdit of what you watch when, so you'll be prepared to enter them once MAL goes back up.
BUU8800 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 As I already said earlier in this very same thread I already am making a written list.
CaptainStarwind Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Fuck it, I made an AniList. I can barely keep track of the shows I'm watching this season, and I'm too lazy to make a paper list.
BUU8800 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Posted June 2, 2018 I was able to import my lists to Anilist via MALGraph, but it's not perfect. It's several months behind for whatever reason, but until MAL's back up and I can do a proper import it's better than nothing. We're a couple hours away from MAL being down for 5 full days btw. Ridiculous.
Top Gun Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 The list itself is back up, though half the site's functionality is still down.
BUU8800 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I literally just checked again to see it up....only to then see that no, the manga half of the site isn't actually back yet. Can't even view my profile page yet. Good lord. Edited June 2, 2018 by BUU8800
PokeNirvash Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) And I still can't login to my old account. FUCK. EVERYTHING. Edited June 2, 2018 by PokeNirvash
Top Gun Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Haa...I just tried that Anilist site because I was mildly curious as to what other options are available, and there's a big banner emblazoned across the bottom saying, "A modern browser is required to use this site." Really great sign when the assholes can't even properly detect a browser's feature set.
BUU8800 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Posted June 2, 2018 The forum seems to still be down as well. I just tried to import my lists over to anilist, which works fine for me, but apparently since I'm using this chromebook now I don't have the hardware necessary to convert my lists into xml formats to properly export there so so much for that. Now I could try and use MALGraph but that will probably take awhile. Just get your shit together already for Christ's sake MAL!
BUU8800 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Over 6 days now for most of MAL still being down.
BUU8800 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 So in about an hour it'll be officially one week since MAL went down. And even now only a small piece of it is back up, with forums, profiles, and anything manga related still inaccessible. Pretty big shit show indeed, but at this point I'm beginning to sound like a broken record. So this'll be my last post on the subject until anything else comes back up. Hopefully the wait from here on out will be a matter of hours and not days or weeks.
The1gairon Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 ... guys I was able to log in and add the anime I watched yesterday. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Yes, but that and exporting is literally all you can do for now. Been that way since Saturday. Couldn't even click on your own profile page right? I still can't anyway. (I know I said I'd stop but not if other people are still gonna respond!) Edited June 4, 2018 by BUU8800
Raptorpat Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I posted a tweeter if anyone is inclined to retweet/like. Out of curiosity, how long ago did everything first go down over there? 2 1 1
Top Gun Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Poke they're trying to fix the entire site. Of course they're goddamn busy. Honestly I'm good for right now myself. The only part of the site I use is my list, and that's back up. I could do with the history working too, but that's a minor inconvenience.
