I have to hand it the webmasters, editors, writers and general staff of the Anime News Network. If it wasn't for one of the members on my own forums at http://www.goddess-project.net I would have never found this out.

On a recent post, one of the members on my site discovered that the ANime News Network has a web server named after one of the more popular characters in Kousuke Fujishima's anime and manga series, Ah! My Goddess. Imagine my surprise when I typed in [ skuld.animenewsnetwork.com ].

You guys, the staff of the Anime News Network, have my object adoration and the humble appreciation of the staff of "The Goddess Project.net."

As a Dane, I ought to point out that Skuld was a Norn before she ever became a manga figure... but never mind.

I found this out myself quite recently when my ISP had some DNS trouble, and I decided to test the connection by tracert-ing animenewsnetwork.com. The result, of course, was to display:

Code:
tracert animenewsnetwork.com
{...}
 20   156 ms   153 ms   153 ms  skuld.AnimeNewsNetwork.Com [66.207.162.94]

Heh, I noticed the same some while ago when I was doing a Google search on AMG and one of the results pointed to skuld.animenewsnetwork.com

Didn't think much of it at the time, just smiled a bit. Always fun to come across unexpected references to shows you like.

Yeah, you'd think that there would be more references ... like belldandy.animenewsnetwork.com or urd.animenewsnetwork.com ... ehehe.

While I don't have my own server it's rather quite amusing that I can make sub-sites dedicated to those characters as well ...

ANN has my admiration ...
