Why is the new upgrade to theOtaku called "Edition Skinny"?
Because we desperately need to put theOtaku on a diet, we've become a bit bloated and messy over the last year.
There are some things on theO that are working super well (e.g. challenges) and some things that aren't (e.g. how fan words works and is structured).
There are some features that used to be super popular back in the day that no one uses anymore because their online habits have changed (back when facebook et al didn't exist), there are some areas we've gotten lazy in.
Overall though I think that the idea is that theO needs to be "smaller" not "bigger" - with Edition Skinny I'm going to treat every single page as its own mini-website - they'll all need to stand on their own or off they go.
I also want to focus more on just anime and manga. I tried to reach too far by focusing on all these other areas like TV and it's become a huge mess. Do we really need a Two and a Half Men category?
We'll clean the fat, and do a much better job with what's left. I think that's our best shot.
I'm always going to be our harshest critic, and that's usually a good thing.
