I keep checking back here for Fanime 2008, but the countdown keeps resetting itself.  Like, I actually stayed up until midnight of the 9th or whatever, so I could see it, but nothing happened, and the countdown was at 999 again.  And then a couple days ago, it was counting down from 2 days, but now it's back at 999.  It's rather annoying, since I start to anticipate new things, only to be disappointed again.  Is there going to be a new site soon, or what?

Oh, Kelsey~ Please update the site~

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing myself. I don't mind waiting around for a new site, but you're kinda just broadcasting inefficiency by continually resetting it and getting people's hopes up, only to not follow through. I'd almost rather the little countdown weren't there, rather than have it be useless.

Hehe, so I'm not the only one watching that counter carefully! I stayed up a few nights ago to wait for the launch, as well.

I was disappointed, but I don't mind waiting all so much. I can't wait to see the layout and what the '08 website has in store, and I figured the webmaster(s) ran into some difficulties.

So it wasn't just me. I wish there was a set countdown as well T_T;;;

**Crosses fingers hoping the site gets uploaded soon**  I'm really looking forward to seeing how it's going to look.

Possibilities are that either there's a new logo for Fanime, new mascots and theme, different dates, different venues....or none of the above. ^_^ Wouldn't know until that update is finished.

Kyokun

Oh, lordy, here we go again...

*crosses fingers and hopes this time it's for real*

I'm such an optimist...

I can name a couple of people for which the Fanime site is their homepage.

I try to check the forums everyday or every other day to keep up with what's going on with everyone.

At least we CAN get into the forums.  Got back from SacAnime and wanted to post on their forums but the site's not available right now (what's up with that, Bart-Boy?).  Just a link for Sac-Con in September.
Life is too important to take seriously.  Seriously.

also, maybe you should just save yourself some trouble and set the countdown to go to Fanime itself rather than to when the new site launches?

I WOULD LIKE TO STATE, FOR THE RECORD -

I'm am in the hospital right now, admitted with being in the ER all day, with my laptop, with a line snagged from the phone on a dial up connection WORKING ON THE WEBSITE.

The website will be online at midnight tonight!

Unless I die.. Or they take the laptop away from me...
