JULY 27, 2001, Morning
Added 6 links to the Non-Anime subsect. They are mostly Playstation sites, with some having info on all sorts of anime games (imports) for the PSX.

These guys just don't quit now do they? I received another email with an attachment .. it'll probably check out OK again with >>Microsoft (-_-;;)<< Hotmail's McAfee Virus Scanner, but I'm not dumb nuff to play around again ^_^. This time, it appears that the file's an American History paper. Man, people really need something better to do than attempting to infect other peeps' coms .. they should utilize their skills to hack o_O or maintain a web site, instead. Just wanted to make a note of this. Ja'ne.

That took around 15 minutes to eradicate .. next time, peeps like those who have no life and do nothing other than send other people viruses should come up with something more spectacular (am I asking for it or what?). Anyways, after switching over to and back from Safe Mode to complete the process, my computer is back to normal .. relatively speaking that is. It's a good thing I bookmarked that site (it's still in my Links sect), or it would have been harder to solve the problem that quickly. I guess this is a reminder that one should never trust anyone or anything and always be on guard. Your best friend may be your enemy. Expect to be betrayed .. Prepare for unexpected situations etc etc etc ^_^;

Well, I can't believe this is happening to me. I was just getting online to check my email from Hotmail in the dead of night when I see that I have two new messages (very rare .. I usually get none at all). Oddly enough, they're from seemingly two different people I've never even heard of before, but the odd thing was that the message in both were identical o_O. Taking them for fans or just staff members from the college I'm attending this fall, I read each new email .. and each has an attachment as well .. and how often do I receive emails with attachments? .. almost NEVER. So, dumb and inexperienced that I am, I actually download the file .. even with my relatively vast computer knowledge, I downloaded these doc.ink and doc.pif files that obviously had the smell of disease in them. Hotmail's McAfee VirusScanner checked them both out OK, but I forgot it was Microsoft I was entrusting (damn!). I later checked out the site I had bookmarked in the past that I had used to eradicate my first virus (I forget it's name). Anyways, I was feeling chills up and down my spine as what I read and remembered in the emails matched exactly the virus description. Story of my life .. Smack .. it hit me what a fool I was for actually downloading the first file and attempting the second one! It was kinda funny at the same time because of this realization, but now I have to get offline and tackle it. To quote from Saitoh Hajime, eradicating evil before it becomes a disease .. Aku Soku Zan. At any rate, if you're not sure whether you have the virus, don't do anything and go here NOW! Cya.
JULY 22, 2001, Night
Changed the message on the entrance page and added 3 quotes from the interview with Haruka's VA and Ken Akamatsu (creator of Love Hina) to the Other Anime Quotes subsect.
JULY 21, 2001, Night
Added a subsect to the Humor section that's called YKYCIPW.. Yeah, it's one of those You know you (blah) when (blah) sects, but I created it myself and it's pretty funny. If you want a little laugh, you can go there.
JULY 21, 2001, Night
Added 2 quotes from me and 1 Special Jap DBZ quote. 8 new links placed into various categories. Link subsect called Anime Search Engines created, 3 Love Hina links removed (they had content mostly relating to the inferior anime, not manga).
JULY 20, 2001, Morning
Around a week ago (when I visited my own site and saw that theCounter.com ceased some service options), I changed the intro message on the Entrance page to reflect a grim truth. The little bar of goodies on the right menu has new stuff on it, and some of the offline music vids are gonna be re-uploaded by CVV. I re-arranged some cats on the menus and changed the title of this page. A useful quote has been added to the Thoughts of a Dreamer subsect. 24 Kenshin quotes were added to the Other Anime quotes subsect, along with a spoiler warning message on the Quotes main page.
I can't believe it, but the site updates are going to resume again for now. The daily hit rate hasn't improved for CVV, rising to a meager 23 per day (and probably half of em are from reloads from friendly visitors), but it really has no hope of ever reaching 40-50 (my prior stated minimum). I decided to continue working on the site not for anyone, but only for my personal ambitions to build an elite DBZ site with all kinds of sections, both info and mmedia. But I'd just like to thank the approximately 10 fan-mails I received since the last update that urged me not to close the site. Although it's a meager amount, I guess it's better than none at all -_-;. But still, the majority of you will always be assholes because your lack of communication illustrated your lack of concern for CVV's existence >=(. Oh well, the site's not made for you types anyways, but for fans who care .. and for myself of course. It's always been a stable, reliable archive of DBZ info and non-DBZ stuff as well. SO regardless of who you are, just be glad I'm resuming updates. Expect even more after the day of Liberation. Ja'ne, bakayaros! o_O

I think someone once said that whatever path you take, ultimately you will have to return to one you've taken in the past. My rank on DBZTop50 started in the 1000s when I first made this site public, rose to the 600s for a very brief moment and then steadily declined back to the 1000s, which is what it is now. I thought the addition of new sections and content would attract some fans, but it's only too obvious to me that most of you guys are asswads who don't give a damn about this site unless new relevant-to-DBZ site updates are made. So sue me. This site is evolving more into a personal site .. if you can't handle that, go eat shit. I know I'm alienating most of my visitors (the younger immature ones most likely). This site was never meant to be for such people, and if you still frequent the site, you really should go somewhere else where they offer full eps and all that silly shit. Those who are still reading this .. I admire your patience. I've decided to make an agreement with the visitors out there who actually give a damn about this site. Considering the fact that only around 15 people visited my site each of the past two days, as compared to my peek amount of like 30-40 per day in the past, I don't feel like giving this site any further work. If I manage to get at least 40 hits/day, I might continue (so go publicize my site if you want .. for those that care). For now, I declare this site in a state of unconsciousness. I will kill it after a month if things don't get better by then (chances are they won't).

Time sure flies by fast .. today's already the first day of July. I added a quote to the "Thoughts of a Dreamer" subsect of the Quotes, for anyone who visits that part of the site. And about what I said earlier about Dragonball being a power trip .. well, the fact that it is. But it also has some of the nicest sountracks and CD collections in the anime genre. Thing is, we each express our thoughts on what life means in different ways. Toriyama just presents it differently in his series DBZ than do the creators of Love Hina and Kenshin. I am writing this partially to apologize for over-underrating DBZ's intellectual level, but it's undeniable that in the end, Love Hina and Kenshin mean a hell of a lot more than does Dragonball.
