But wow man this place sure is a shadow of its former self *whistles*

20th of Nov. 2016: I'm not dead!

I'm doing OK, working and dealing with my mental health as well as I can. I won't be back here, though. I've started creating content for The Sims 3. As for anime, I've left it behind mostly.

If any of my old friends end up reading this - the years together have been great, and I still get nostalgic about them sometimes. Hope life is treating you well!~

8th of Nov. 2015: For anyone wondering what's happened to me

Simply put, I grew distant from TheO. The fine folks here have nothing to do with it, you all are still amazing (and I feel awful for missing so many birthdays >_<). Tagging on Minitokyo took up a lot of my time, and I gradually found myself visiting TheO less and less, until it got to literally months between visits. Hell, I don't even think I can remember my password, thank God Firefox has the option to save them.

I'm also not that interested in anime anymore - I mean, I like the style and still add to my collection of eye candy, but I don't feel the need to keep up with new releases. I've got my gigs of old manga and am pretty much satisfied with that. Art-wise, the same: haven't felt the drive to pick up or finish a work in months, probably as a result of my passion for anime fizzling out. I'm still playing The Sims 3, and have picked up Doom too (love them custom WADs!).

Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for the visit. Drop me a line on Minitokyo if you feel like it.
Hope all is well with you, and a huge thanks for the support. Take care.

You may want to have some anti-headache medicine ready in case you facepalm too much.

Card submission problems

Is anyone else having trouble with submitting e-cards? ._. I got this message yesterday:

"A database error has occured with the following application: . Description of the error associated with the script: An error occured while executing a query. The database error occured on: Sunday 19th 2010f December 2010 03:37:45 AM The url of the reported page: http://www.theotaku.com/cards/submit"

(of course, different timestamp) and refreshed the page to see if that did the trick. Unfortunately, I was given the old "Sorry, you can't submit more than 3 cards within a period of 24 hours". Even more weird, though, is that the card does appear in my portfolio, but it's just a blank slot. Here's the card, let me know if you can see the description.

I'm annoyed because this is supposed to be for Saku's Alphabet Cards meme and it doesn't show correctly. I think I can't even edit its description to upload the proper version (the one in Romanian, the only one up is currently the one in English).

EDIT: the tags also don't show up, and the card type is reset to "None".
EDIT2: link to card removed because the card was taken down and the link was dead.
EDIT3: I can edit the description; it spits out the "database error" thing but the new description is saved.
EDIT∞: Angel Zakuro posted a solution: don't add tags to your submission.
