It sucks being an adult…..LOL

Back in the day I lived and breathed anime, I wrote fanfics and scoured sites for all of the nitty gritty information I could find on my favorite anime. Life, however, has a way of changing your priorities. With a house, a family, a job, etc. I find it harder and hard to keep up with the onslaught of information concerning anime. I’m still a faithful watcher, but finding the time to scour the internet for the deep details or research the next biggest anime that hasn’t even hit the USA shores yet, is a bit more difficult now-a-days.

the tl;dr of all of this is, I’m still very invested in Boreasstar, it’s just harder to find the time to do this than I originally thought. If you’re reading this and you’d like to help, feel free to message me. If no one is reading this, then this is my diary to myself, sent from the cold, dank and crumbling radio station that was once Boreasstar.

As the title says, there’s not much new to report. Life, as it tends to, has a way of stepping in—jobs, family, home, and all the other responsibilities that naturally come first. Progress has been slower than I’d hoped, and the restoration has been on the back burner for now. Still, I remain optimistic. In the days ahead, I’m hopeful things will pick up again, giving me more time to dedicate to bringing the site back to its former glory. My commitment hasn’t wavered.

You know, restoring a site from 23 years ago is a bit harder than one would imagine…LOL. Not that it’s physically hard or anything, but the problem is my instinct is to not do certain things because it’s simply “wrong” for this era…so I have to consciously remember to do old things, even if it’s against my better instincts as a developer!

I have started restoring some images, such as the Tama Link icon to the right, I restored it the best I could from what I could remember it looked like…no promises it’s accurate…LOL. I’m doing this in my spare time, outside of my job, taking care of a house and raising 5 baby kittens. So things won’t progress as quickly as I, perhaps others, would like…but they will get there!

In the mean time, if you would like to be a staff member then send me an email at dragon.nii.chan@gmail.com, I’m looking for fanfic writers, wallpapers artists, etc. to help flesh the site out with more modern and updated downloadable. I do want to maintain the original look and feel of the site, to the best of my ability, however, as you can imagine any wallpapers I can manage to recover will be sorely out of date (I mean, really, back then we were at 800×600 and if you were really lucky you were killing it with 1024×768!).

That’s about all for now!

Ja ne!
