New Owner for AO

**Dragon Ball** · Mar 27, 2008, 05:04 PM

Hello Everyone,

This will be my last time talking to everyone as owner. There is some good and bad news I have for you. Recently I have sold Anime Online in order to free up my time and to spend the next 12 months traveling and kicking back a bit. That's the bad news... phew.. wasn't that hard now was it.

For the Good News, "Cowboy Bebop" and "Hellsing" are now the new owners, 2 mature guys from California that hold full-time jobs. They are very decent guys who also don't want to see eDrama, spam or AO spiral down. They look forward to running AO in the same fashion it has been on my watch. I hope everyone gives them a warm welcome and shows them the same respect I have received.

Cowboy Bebop and Hellsing don't have as much IT experience as I do, so I will continue to help out where needed, so no need to worry about that. They will also take over SOTW.

That's about all, and I wish everyone fun and good times.

Thanks again everyone for your kind hospitality.

Cheers,
Dragon Ball.

Off to mainland USA next month, then back to Japan for 1 month before heading out to Guam for a few weeks. Then back to Japan and traveling throughout for a while. Later on in the year will try for ice fishing in Alaska! That's the plan anyway.

Summer months are here too, so wanna enjoy the great outdoors.

Cheers.

A little fairy told me AO was changing ownership yet again.

I wish you the best of luck. You were one of the few owners I didn't have a problem with. Though I can't really say I knew you all that well you at least were cool with us and thats a huge bonus in my book.

wow..
I so did not expect this DG....and i have to say that I am sort of sad even though you do not know me that well -_-..but I know for sure that you are a very awesome administrator and you kept AO under your rule very strictly and very professionally
and I will miss you ^^

It really was great to have you as the owner of AO DB. I am sure not many people will say otherwise. Good luck with the rest of the year and don't forget to post every now and then :P
