The last article for 2007.

2007 was a fantastic year. Would like to say a big thanks to readers who have been here way before 2007, and a big hello and welcome to readers who have joined in 2007.

2007 was an eventful year for me - in particular leaving Microsoft to start my company Mirai Inc and growing this site to roughly 50,000 unique users a day. Oh and not forgetting the conception of Mirai-chan - expect to see much more of her next year.

You should also continue to expect more Japanism and Otakuism shenanigans in 2008 together with huge upgrades to the site which includes the ability to contact other members, post images together with your comments, monetize from your content and find/discover things much more easily.

Chosen a few memories of 2007 which you will find in the 2007 archives.
Thanks once again and see you on the other side (Stargate warping sound effects.)

For me 2007 has been the year I came out of the closet and start finding friends with similar interest in REAL LIFE. And that leads to our 1st Big Figure display on local anime conventions, in collaborations with my pals :D

It's constantly improving and growing bigger. Wish you good luck at starting your own company. It will be exciting to see how it turns out.

I heard about your site at the end of 2006, then started lurking here within the first half of 2007, read more and more of your articles during summer holidays, and finally decided to create my account 2 days ago ^^;

Like the other members, I would also like to say just thanks to you Danny for creating such a great site and constantly trying to improve it, for your informative articles, for sharing your knowledge with others and... dancing in your stormtrooper outfit! :D

It's funny because while looking at the pictures of the article, I just thought to myself "wow the year has passed pretty fast once again..."

I wish a very good New Year's Eve and the best for 2008 to you Danny and to all the members! Cheers! ^^)/口

My area is flooded thus everything has gone wrong (crime rate is on the rise, my uncle's shop has been theft by thieves taking advantage of this chaos), thus I can't say 2007 is a very ideal year for me.

But one thing that I am grateful of is that I joined dannychoo.com! 

Thanks for the great site Danny and I hope to have another great year here. ^^
