Thread: Ok, Would you like to change domains?

OK, I want everyone input.
Would you like to change the domain to rootanime.com?


Pros: Better domain.
Fits the new content better.
more brandable.
Won't focus only on manga.
Anime cover both manga.

Con: New Domain
Break promise.
Won't focus on manga.



With the decline of online manga sites and the increase in activity from licensees, I decided to change domains. (Insert crazy reaction)

Before anyone freaks out, no data will be lost. Everything will be the same, just different name.

As some of you old timers know, I own the domain rootanime.com. Luckily its so similar to each other, it should be a easy to remember.

What do you need to do?
Nothing, when the time comes to change domains, you will notice that the banner is changed and the homepage is completely different. If you type the old address in, it will automatically redirect you to the new site.

Also at the time of the change, I will be releasing the new homepage for all you.

I have added a poll so you can vent your anger.

so then what about this?

Ah well I'm fine with it since it's a past site and your telling us in advance and even giving us an auto redirect.

well as long as its nothing drastic, and it itsnt, its ok with me too

Ugh, now I feel bad. Check now. The promise, I really meant deleting and restarting the website.

But this is not the first time I changed minds. Remember phasing out the shoutbox.

Anyways that was before everyone started cracking down on manga sites.
Major online sites are feeling the pressure,
Mangatoshokan -

We hoped it wouldn't come to this, but due to mounting legal pressure, we have been advised to remove all series serialized by the publishers in the coalition. This was a very difficult decision to make, and one we did not take lightly. Unfortunately this means we have had to remove the majority of our library, however we have been able to retain some manga, as well as most of our manhua and manhwa. We will be shifting the focus of the site more to manhwa and manhua (Korean and Chinese manga). For some of you, this may be your last visit to MangaToshokan, but before you leave we would appreciate it if you could fill out a short six question survey that we are going to share the results to the publishers. If nothing else, we hope it will make them aware of the consequences of their actions. Also if you could pass this survey on to other people we would appreciate it. Again, we apologize for this, but we don't have any other options at this point

Only a matter of time before other site go down.'

Would you like to change the domain to rootanime.com?

We're keeping the data which is all that really matters at this point. Almost all the other site changes we lost everything and had to start again.

hm true... well i guess it's okay to change it since we keep our data
