Site Moved To Free Hosting (Post date: 2010-05-05, Views: 530) I have just changed the nameservers of Shin-Otaku.com to the new host DNS and if you are seeing this it means that the re-propagation is successful. All PHP files and MySQL database should also be working properly now...

"Read more..." Feature (Post date: 2009-02-07, Views: 2995) Quick site update. Shin-Otaku seems to have evolved into a figurine blog with many and large photos displayed in a single entry.

We Are Moving Server (Post date: 2008-05-27, Views: 970) After some 20 days of trial of using the current hosting plan, I have decided to move to another plan by a different company. Details shall be provided later. The consequenses would be that there will be some downtime during the transition to allow the domain shin-otaku.com to re-propagate properly. Downtime will be seen in the next few days and the duration may be several days (about 3 days). There shall be no Otaku-related entry until the migration is completed successfully. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to all visitors and especially to fellow loyal readers....

Shin-Otaku Comment Box Update (Post date: 2008-05-16, Views: 3425) In our very recent conversation with Gordon, he proposed that it would be better to have a "clickable Nickname" inside the comment box that points to the author's website. Now, the function is active. If you submit...
