My guess at the big announcement"

Cookie has had a religious experience and to comply with the rules of that religion, he will not be locking anymore thread.

Cookie-san no newsroom will be produced.


To be honest, the day we can afford that, we'll probably do it... can we afford it now? You'll find out on Saturday.

I do not want to spoil anything, so...

spoiler[I believe that if ANN asked if people would buy a magazine...hum...producing an anime must be pretty much expensiver than a magazine...So...Sadly, I guess it's not that.]

But we're just gonna wait until Saturday. Probably, whatever it'll be, it won't be anything special to what myself refers...

So Cookie, would this mean you are a workaholic, and that's your REAL reason for not coming to NDK? Wink

Cookie, if you would be earning that money I swear your life would be in danger, xD. That, unless you'd pass your work here to another one, which would be the new person in danger, xD.

Sorry, we won't put it past you.

The biggest shocker I can think of is them allowing sigs Shocked

Allowing sings? And why should be a big announcement? I can't imagine Tempest at the NDK

"And now, the finally moment you've been waiting for!! It's not we have the rights of Naruto!!! It's better!! It's not we're gonna produce Cookie-San no newsroom!! Even better!! The greatest time of anime will arrive with us...Since now..!! (while everyone is expecting a really huge thing)...Since now...we allow signatures at our forums"

And I wouldn't like it. People would start making really annoying signatures -_-

Hmm.... interesting concept..... but... no. Very Happy We like to think that we're slightly cooler than having a "big announcement" something forum-related.

Am I at least in the ballpark?

I'd say a hostile takeover of Anime Insider is much more likely. Wink

Now that I would love to see.

I like Newtype-USA

I hate Anime Insider and Animerica, They have crappy reporters and magazines that look like they were rushed durning the deadline.

Well, I don't mean hostile takeover in the business sense of the word. I mean like the ANN staff armed themselves with torches and pitchforks, and took over the ADV headquarters, floor by floor. So, don't be surprised if you see some of the columnists mysteriously stop posting their articles, and its just explained as "They were unable to continue due to other things (work, family, etc.)"
