Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

Discussions

Hey, people! I'm back with another post. This particular post is just me kicking some ideas around as to how best to generate activity here on theO. My first thought was to do some kind of monthly discussion topic on the front page. Another was to make new users welcome by giving them some tips on how to best use theO. My final thought was about the "moderator World" that I was going to make. What do I call it? I'm open to suggestions....

P.S.: I guess my "Six Fanarts" was a bust since only four people gave suggestions. Oh well. I've been drawing other stuff, anyway, and I hope to post something soon.

I'm A New Mod

Well, as the title states, I'm a new, full-fledged moderator here at theO. This means I have access to front page announcements, reports, editing user settings, and the like. Now that this has transpired, I'm here to serve you. Please let me know what you need. Keep in mind that I'm not the bossman, so I can't fix bugs or modify code in any way. Having said that, I will do anything in my power to help you, even if it means contacting the team with issues.

Now that I've made my announcement, let me leave you with a question and a request.

The question is this: do you want me to make a separate "Mod World"? I remember one of the mods did this back in the day, and I loved reading it. It made theO feel more transparent and in-tune with its users.

My request is that you spread the word about who to come to when you need help with the site. I don't have as many subscribers as a lot of you, so if you could make a World post linking to this post, I would greatly appreciate it.

Read This Post

I subscribe to SunfallE, one of the members of the O's mod team. I like reading her "Moderation" blog because she explains the rules of the site and what happens to people who don't follow the rules. She explains the reasons why she is forced to ban people, both in detail and honestly (unlike SOME sites I know of *cough*Tokyopop*cough*).

Having said that, READ THIS. SunfallE asked that anyone who reads this post to link to it. Please read it for your safety.

I would like to take this time to thank the moderators on the O for being so dedicated. Mods, you and the good citizens (by that, I mean good users) are what makes this site so great. Thank you.
