the happiness i share is because of you....

May 13, 2000 - 10,000 hits!!

It's been one and a half years since I opened The Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon Center. The knowledge accumulated slowly, but I learned more about graphics, HTML, self-promotion as time went on. Of course the hits came as slowly as my knowledge did. Getting 1000 hits was a miracle in my eyes. Ah, the days gone by...
Now it's May 13. The layouts came and went, and the hits piled up. 8000, 9000, and I just held my breath. What could I do? Waiting, my friends, is an impossible thing.
And then, it happened. On this day in 2000, the BSSMC hit 10,000. That's right. 10,000 people actually wanted to come to my site. They looked around, left input, spread the word, and kept me going when the flame war was on. At 8:30 PM, I found out that it had finally happened. "My heart is filled...!"
Now, in the real world, this is obviously not a major acheivement. But here, to me and the anime web community, this is the start of something big.
I want to thank everyone whose come to the site. You've all played such huge part in my success. I thank each and everyone one of you!!! *kiss*
I thank my parents, who let me do episode summaries instead of Algebra homework (oops!), my sister for encouraging me, and my real-world friends for admiring what little ambition I have.
I thank web friends like Immora, for all her help, Bunny, for thinking highly of me, Lady Neptune, for just being there, the Z.n.A. crew for reviewing me, the Rootbeer Reviews crew for reviewing me, Icefalcon, Stephane Dumas...everyone!
Minna, arigato, and here's to another 10,000 hits!
