The internet is big and vast. Thousands and thousands of new home pages keep surfacing everyday while dozens of others are sent off-line. Because of the large selection to choose from, people have considered the Internet as the greatest medium to get new information about favorite topics in general. However, it has a downfall: because of vast number, surfing has become a complicated thing with dozens upon dozens of sites and / or missing pages. Due to this fact, a lot of people considered the Internet to be cold and absent of all warmth like that provided by the Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes).

    This is the goal of Pinoy Otaku! and the Webring. We want to unite all web masters and page creators who share the same interests to band together. In effect, we want to foster the values of friendship, support and warmth, just like the ones we are all accustomed to.

    Pinoy Otaku! has been trying to live this dream. Formed on May 4, 1997, Pinoy Otaku! is the brainchild of Justin Kho and Ulysses Ang who believed that Filipino anime / manga fans must have a collective voice on the Internet as well. Thus, on this guiding principle, this webring has expanded to accomodate more than 200 members plus several new key features which include a mailing list, a chat room, plus with cooperation from several other organizations, programs which increase the awareness of anime to the general population.

    This website is dedicated to all of the kababayans out there, who like the creators of this webring have been keen to see the growth of the anime / manga industry. This webring is all for you. Mabuhay ang Filipino! Mabuhay kayong lahat!








    Pinoy Otaku! Webring is a free service provided by Webring^tm. It is dedicated to bring people closer though their interests, to bridge the gap among the users of the Internet. Pinoy Otaku! offers several advantages to your website. Mainly is increased traffic, since any webring acts like a big 'links page' where all our pages are linked with one another.
    To maintain a certain level of order, to join Pinoy Otaku! Webring, you must meet the following requirements:

• You have to have a homepage that is created by a Filipino OR located in the Philippines. Either one of the two will do. An example of this is when, you are a Filipino but your site is based in GeoCities. In this case, you can join the ring. You are a foreigner residing in the Philippines with an anime page located in a Philippine server, you can join the ring. Another is when you are a Filipino working/studying abroad with a anime/manga related site somewhere.
• You have an interest to anything about Japan.  Everything from origami to anime and manga to video games are allowed in this site.  If you are going to submit a site of adult content, please warn us in advance by siting that you are an adult site in your application form, so that minors who are part of the ring, may pass the webring without going through these sites. Failure to do this would mean exclusion from the webring.

• Video game related or video game sites are admissible inside the ring, provided that they are related in some way to Japan in general.  Hardware (e.g. pages about Sega Dreamcast, Sony Playstation), software (e.g. Street Fighter, King of Fighters) and character based pages (e.g. Chun-Li, Mai) are allowed in the webring.  However, sites with contents such as Quake, Tomb Raider or Mortal Kombat are not allowed.
• Fill up the form  with your URL (location of page), e-mail address, and password. The password is for future use if you wish to edit your homepage profile or add others into the ring.
• After you push the submit button, you are automatically placed in the Pinoy Otaku! Ring Queue. There, your URL will wait for some nice member that you have asked to add you.
• You must add the HTML code to become a full-fledged member. This is essential for the ring to function properly. Please, add the ring link, or I will have to drop your membership.
• When you have completed all requirements, then the web master, or any other Pinoy Otaku! member will add you to the ring.  Please be informed that after being accepted into Pinoy Otaku! Do not remove the HTML fragment nor the ring image, in doing so means the removal of membership.
