PokeNirvash Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 That's nice and all, but what I wanna know is... Will the convention have a ball pit? Quote

EyeOfPain Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Is that everyone who was at DashCon? It's probably a mandate from the parent company to celebrate the milestone. Quote

It's probably a mandate from the parent company to celebrate the milestone. there were more people conned into donating money to dashcon than just them when the congoers realized their was no con (Aka. showed up at the convention hall and found out that the "convention" was one room with an inflatable pool full of balls and nothing else) they took pictures in the ball pit as a form of self deprication (they also sued) Quote
Rumb0 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 >1 million paying subscribers >The site's video player is still using Flash while the app versions were already on HTML5 players >Terrible support for H.264 encoded videos & no Be rips >Terrible manga app >Rights to shows lapse in the course of 5 years >Still thinking of increasing subscription charges If it weren't for simulcasts and simulpubs, I wouldn't have been subscribed to their service for nearly 7 years. But at the very least, they aren't KissAnime. Quote
EyeOfPain Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 >The site's video player is still using Flash while the app versions were already on HTML5 players They launched a beta HTML5 web player for testing to Premium+ members, so it's on its way. Quote
Rumb0 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 They launched a beta HTML5 web player for testing to Premium+ members, so it's on its way. oh yeah, i forgot that beta features are locked behind the next pay-wall tier. apparently, the regular premium members just are good enough :dansgame: Quote
StarPanda Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 dam they have really come along way Quote

EyeOfPain Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 CR is/was giving away 100 pizzas/hour today through fooji: I tried to enter, several times, but keep getting told they don't service my area, even though GrubHub delivers to me. Quote
