One year anniversary!
Well, here it is, the dreaded one year anniversary – the day
we can no longer call ourselves “a new baby” or attempt to explain
away our mistakes by saying we are new to this. XD
As part of our one year anniversary, we’ve made some new changes
to our website, the most obvious of which is our new layout.
But we didn’t just change our layout, we’ve also rearranged
our entire site contents. If you are unsure of where a certain
section has moved to, simply click on our “Sitemap” button on
the left and you’ll find a list of our site contents there.
We hope that these new changes will make this site easier to
navigate and more user-friendly. As always, we welcome any feedbacks
and comments on the site!
We are also proud to introduce our new PAS system, which can
be found under Fun Corner. ^^ Through this system, members or
participants of PAS will get to trade points, which they can
earn by contributing contents or participating in games and
contests held monthly, for Gackt goods and merchandises such
as CDs, DVDs, and books, among other items. And to start this
system off, we have decided to award 10 points to all participants
of our Spring Contest 2008 (April)!! ^^ We hope to encourage
interaction between fans and create a fun environment in which
fans can enjoy themselves.
Last but not least, we would like to thank all of you for your
support and for your warm comments. This site would not have
been possible without you! I would also like to thank my staff,
for sticking by me through this entire year and not abandoning
me. XD In particular, I would like to express my gratitude to
Gekka, who has always been my support and my reliable partner-in-crime.
XD I won’t know what to do without you, so thank you for bearing
with me, not to mention with my craziness and inability to keep
deadlines!
I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce our
three new staff. The lovely Sari joined our team a few months
ago and is now helping us with our News section. Our new Graphics
team member, Nao, together with Amethyst_mage, have been working
hard to create this layout for our anniversary. Know that I’m
counting on you girls to satisfy my need for mind-blowing “Gacktiful”
images. XD Last, we have our latest addition to the group, Japonais,
who is in charge of the new games section. ^^ We have updated
the Staff section with their profiles, so just hop over if you
want to get to know them more.
Thank you for a wonderful one year and we hope you’ll continue
to support us. Have fun exploring our new site!
Regards,
Sweiled
