August 13th, 2007 Dan - Vote Sailor Moon in Toei's poll!

We have been given a chance to have our voices heard. Toei is holding a poll of shows American fans want to see come over here, and Sailor Moon is on the list. More details as well as a link to the poll can be found in the latest news article.

July 25th, 2007 Dan - The ray of hope shines just a little brighter....

Building on yesterday's news, another tidbit has come through from Anime Central earlier this year. Click the link or go to the news section to see.

July 24th, 2007 Dan - Sailor Moon to make a comeback?

Sadly there's no comparison today, however this should change fairly soon. I've finally made it so I'm working one job 30 - 40 hours a week, which frees up a lot of time and gets rid of a lot of stress for me. I can't say exactly when right now, but having time and motivation at the same time now, finishing up the first season fairly soon looks very feasible.

But that is not why I update today. Over at Otakon this weekend, it looks like there is a little news tidbit that shows that Sailor Moon has not been forgotten by companies and is still being pursued. Click the link or go to the news section for more, and hope along with me that something comes out of it.

July 5th, 2007 Dan - Million milestone ^_^

Hihi everyone! As you may or may not have noticed, about a month and a half ago, SMU finally achieved what few fansites manage to do, and that is make the 1,000,000 hit milestone. ^_^ I am very happy to see this milestone be hit, especially in a period of time where content updates to the site have been quite slow and well past the peak years ago.

Speaking of content, all I have is an update to my section in the About Us page of the site, which was really outdated. o.o;;; I really wanted to do more for the milestone, but it happened when I was in a job transition, and since then the amount of days I've had off between the two jobs can be counted on one hand. I wanted to finish up the first season and announce the milestone at the same time, but it just proved too much for me, and I didn't want to waste any more time to announce it. I am hoping to actually do that soon, but I refuse to set a timeframe up as of yet. If I can manage to make it so I only work one job I might start setting up timeframes again, but right now working ~60 hours a week just drains me. @_@

Anyways, happy million SMU, and here's to a million more! *raises beer bottle* ^_^

May 2nd, 2007 Tiff - OMG a Tiff update?!

>_>; so this isn't a big deal or anything, but since my "About Us" section was in HUGE need of updating, I went ahead and re-wrote it. XD;; enjoy!

December 5th, 2006 Dan - Forum Registration Re-opened

Due to issues of multiple spambots and such, many of you have probably noticed that forum registration has been closed for a couple of months. I have been planning and working on a method to keep them from getting in, and have completed this, so forum registration is open once again!

When a new user wants to sign up for the forums, there is a new link labled "Forum Account Request Form" alongside the "Register" link. This new link will open a new window with a short simple form to fill out, with just your username, email, birthday, and a validation code to prove you are not a spambot. Once this has been filled out and submitted, you can still make an account like normal. As soon as an admin notices the new account, they will check to be sure that a request form for the account was filled out, and then activate your account while sending you an e-mail stating that they can now access the forums. This will take no longer than a day or two for activation to occur. If a few days pass with nothing happening, please contact me immediately.

This new addition to the system does two things. As already mentioned, this extra setup will keep spambots away, giving us more control of the accounts activated. Because the form isn't part of the phpBB registration process, the form won't be filled out by the spambots, therefore any account they might make will be deleted after the two day rule (which is now modified to if an account here is made but no request form is filled out for that account within two days, it get's deleted). The second is that this finally forces users to input their birthdays in their profiles, as entering your birthday is a required part of the new form. This makes our lives a TON easier for trying so hard to enforce it, and will be lessannoying for everyone else from having to see a mod post about not entering your birthday in. Everybody wins.

With all that said, time to celebrate the re-opening of registration and to prepare to meet some more new people! ^_^

November 13th, 2006 Tiff - A Christmas Gift

=D OMG, an update from Tiff! The Christmas spirit bit me in the ass, like it always does, and I felt compelled to make the layout Christmas-y. And so I bring you the SMU Christmas layout. I created the buttons myself, made from a Sailor Moon Artbook image, from which I edited the chibi senshi from. The chibi Usagi is taken from a Sailor Moon Channel splash page. It took me about three evenings, and I'm quite proud of it. This is my gift to the fans, new and old. Thank you for your years of visits. Happy Holidays! (Oh, and our beautiful Christmas logo was made last year by forums member NameGoesHere, the winner of last year's Christmas logo contest. =D)

September 6th, 2006 Dan - Comparisons for 38 - 40 posted

It's been a slow month here on SMU I know, and even slower with stuff coming from me. But I can't have y'all loving Bob more than you do me, so I have made up from my lost time in one day. Behold! Comparisons for episodes 38, 39, and 40 have been completed. That's right, three comparisons for today, and now only four more left until the completion of the first season. It's taken way too long for us to finish this season, but we shall finally do it soon. I'm going to try to up my speed at getting these done, and with Bob working on them too, we shall have this season done in no time, and finally move onto R.

Onto other things, it would appear that I haven't talked about Project WikiMoon here yet. I thought I did, but I was mistaken. In any case, WikiMoon is a Sailormoon wiki that was started late this spring to become a comprehensive database for everything Sailormoon in the world, fandom included. We're nearing 1,500 articles as of right now, and have the potential for so many more. The beautiful thing is that being a wiki, anyone can contribute to it, hence why we've gotten so much done with it so far. I highly recommend going to WikiMoon for any info that you may want to see about SM, and I'd love it if anyone could contribute into it. We've got a great thing going so far, and I want to see it not lose any steam and continue to grow! ^_^

August 7th, 2006 Bob - Episode 46 Posted

Episode 46 has been posted for your viewing pleasure! Yay! No more ridiculously hard comparisons anymore! Wheeee! I will be working backwards until SMC is finished. So the next comparison from me should be 44. Expect that soon.

PS - I'm totally beating Dan as far as comparison writing goes. Go me! (granted, I have been on like a 3 year leave of absence x_x;;;;;;;;; Oh well!) Enjoy!

July 29th, 2006 Bob - Episode 45 posted and the Return of Bob

Hello all!

Yes, I have returned. I am back. I am out of retirement, and I bring you a present. Episode 45!

Yes! I have returned to my roots in the comparisons section, and now me and Dan are going to be working together to get the comparisons section DONE. We're gonna work on Classic first, and then hit R full force.

Now, there is the possibility that some of you might be wondering WHY I'm back so soon, but we'll save that for another day. If you've been visiting the forums you'll have known that I've been back for quite some time. Anywho, expect Episode 46 soon, and more comparisons from dan.

July 15th, 2006 Dan - Episode 37 and a bit more

After a few months of being busy and a hell of a lot of changes, I am back with the comparison for episode 37. It's been long I know, but I'm hoping to get these out faster. It has taken longer than it should and I want to change that.

Also, we've got a suprise coming on the way soon. I won't say what is is or when, partly because that's not up to me, but I will say it is something you all have been looking forward to, coming faster than you think. I will leave you with that, keep your eyes open here.

May 26th, 2006 Dan - Domains moving soon

Well, I'm sure that everyone noticed that phobos has been pretty unreliable, especially in the past few months or so. Between problems with the server itself, added in with the internet around me sometimes acting up, and stupid 5-second power outages, the advantages of running everything from phobos just aren't there anymore. So sometime within a week, I will be moving everything on my domains to a reliable pay host. Everything will have 99.99% guaranteed uptime, and probably a lot faster than phobos. It was a fun project, but there's just been to many problems as of late to really keep it going. I don't know exactly when I'll be moving everything right now, but it will be within a week, and I will give a day or two notice before I do so. The forums will be turned off for the move until it's complete. I'm hoping that this will solve speed and reliability issues that we've been having lately.

May 19th, 2006 Dan - Robot Chicken Parody availble for download

I know it's been a really long since an update and I apologize. I've been going through a lot of changes these past couple months or so, and haven't really been able to do much with the site in that time. Today's update also isn't a comparison, which I apologize for, but there will be more shortly. I won't say excatly when since I don't know, but I do know soon.

Today's update is a little more special. It's been one that I had been hoping to put up for a good while, but lots of things got in the way in the process, including me forgetting about it after some time had passed. Thanks to the capturing and editting of forum user Sailorasteroid, I am proud to announce that SMU is now hosting the Robot Chicken parody of Sailor Moon. It's a nice quick laugh that I'm sure many of you will enjoy. ^_^

February 16th, 2006 Dan - Episode 36 posted and an announcement

Today, I have episode 36 up for everyone's reading pleasure.

Also, I have a small announcement. For those of you who have been around a while may remember, May is the time where I'm usually moving between two places and have to move everything off phobos to somewhere else for a short time and then back again. It's a pain in the ass for me as well as for anyone with an account on phobos as well as all visitors to anything on the server. Thankfully, this year I can say this won't happen. I'll be going right from this place to my new one, so the only transition this time around will be me driving phobos from here to the new place sometime in May.

To further ensure less chaos with everything on the server, right now I'm in training for a promotion to happen in a month or two. This will give me a much better cashflow, and when this happens, I'll be moving everything on the smuncensored.com domain to a pay server. Since moving to the place I'm currently in, there's been a lot of stupid glitchs with my internet and sometimes phobos as well. So there's been a lot of unnecessary downtime since summer that I'm not proud of. Once it's back to a pay server, problems on my end will no longer affect everyone else. Just something I wanted to point out to look forward to.

February 2nd, 2006 Dan - Episode 35 posted

I've been really busy with a lot of things lately, but today I finally have up the comparison for episode 35 posted up for your reading pleasure. ^_^
