From Frank:Well gee, I guess this is where I'm supposed to put some insightful commentary on the creation of this page and somehow tie it in to the Ranma ML, the meaning of life, and the decline of Western Civilization.....
Ah well, one out of three ain't bad....
To get my personal thanks out of the way first: Thanks to hiroshin-ken, my partner in crime, who picked up the slack during my busy days and helped construct the FAQ you are seeing right now. Also thanks to all those who visited before end construction and gave back C & C - it was greatly needed. Of course a giant "domo arigato" goes out to Hitoshi Doi for allowing the Ranma ML to actually exist. Finally, thanks to the ML, who'e become sort of a family to me - an insane and sometimes silly family, but a family nonetheless, and one I am proud to belong to.
To those reading this that are thinking about joining or have just joined: Hey, I'm not gonna lie to you. The Ranma ML has its ups and its downs. However, I feel the good heavily outweighs the bad, for many reasons which are too numerous to post here. Because of the ML, one can learn more about something we all have in common that we like - Ranma 1/2 - and also learn a couple of other things as well. Trust me, I'm 90% sure you won't regret joining if you can handle the load.
To those reading this that are old veterans: Hey! I didn't forget anything, did I? ^_^ At any rate, there's not much to say that I haven't said already on the ML or off of it. The only thing I can do is raise a cup of sake and hope we stay together for a long while to come. Here's to that...and here's hoping a faction/flame war doesn't break out soon. Thanks guys and gals.
To those reading this that don't understand a word of this and stumbled along this page by accident: Join anyway! Or if not, you can always go back to Geocities.
To my future wife, wherever she is right now: I love you. Just thought I'd say that real early before I even find you..^_^
To anti-Anime people: You're missing out on a good thing.
To Bill Clinton: Ha! I voted for Dole!
I think I'm done. Have fun on the ML - see you....out there....

From hiroshin-ken:I guess I've got to say a few 'enlightening' words here... I know I may seem like someone who can just do that off the top of my head on the Ranma ML, but in actuality, this stuff is pretty difficult for me to do...
Well, first off, I'd like to thank Frank Sanchez for giving me the opportunity to lend a helping hand of this website. It's always a joy to be able to do something for a good friend and since this was something that is related to something I really love (anime) that was just an added bonus. Also I'd like to thank all the people from the Ranma ML "family" who have added their information to be added to this site... It may have been a little difficult to get you all on here, but it was _definitely_ worth it.
To the newbies and those planning to join: The Ranma ML is definitely a place I have learned to call "home" I know there have been times that I've been away, especially lately, but I am never going to leave... So those of you who are planning to join in, you better be ready to talk about some serious Ranma 1/2, and expect to see Frank and I there, at some time during your stay... I can't guarantee that your stay will be pleasant, but you'll never forget your stay at the Ranma ML...
To the seasoned veterans of the ML: Am I there, yet, guys!?!? Like Frank said, I hope that we didn't forget anything. If we did, please drop either of us a line to tell us what we missed or if you have your own ideas as to what you think should be added. There shouldn't be much though... With the combined effort of Frank-kun and myself, we have built a compilation of the Ranma ML's best. I raise my cup of sake with Frank trying to sing the lyrics to "Jajauma ni sasenaide"... No more factoin/flame wars... please... Thanks so much for being there!
To all my ML friends in Chicago: Thanks for being so supportive and understanding, I don't think I'd have been able to get through it all without you guys...
To the love of my life, Holly (for now, at least, and I hope for a long time to come): I love ya... I hope you'll be there for me through all my adversities like you have been for the past couple months... ^_^)
To all the Anti-Anime people out there: In honor of the "Jerky Boys" I think I bomb that place!!!! ^_^
I think that just about covers it... If I missed ya, I send my thanks out to you, too... Peace unto the ML... I shall return...
