Well some of you might of noticed some changes to the site. the new gallery branded free board and the vbe SEO system installed. This is due to our new owner. Dragon Ball. He is from Japan and is nice to help us upgrade AO up to some new standards.

the board will still be run like it is. I am still in charge he will just be calling some of the shots I make on the board. such as staff and other new stuff I want to bring to the board.

So lets all welcome him and lets have some fun with some of the new things that will be added to the site.

I don't think he meant 'I am not the owner of AO anymore'... He's still the owner, there's just another owner.

well, hello welcome and enjoy the stay mycolumbus! I kind of would like to have bought into AO (incase you ever want to sell it) but I wish you the best of luck and hope you get out of the site what you want. Now I do want to ask if you are a complete owner or if you are a part owner?

EDIT: Wait a second......the owner's name just changed to Dragon Ball, it was Comumbus or something just a few minutes ago, is this normal?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm smelling something that is kinda fishy Inu-Yasha...but whatever, who ever runs AO, as long as things go well, my speech still applies.


New owner???

Well then I welcome you, new owner that has taken under his lap the priveledge to have this forum as his own. This forum has a great history of growth and moments of smaller success as well, as in any forum or if seen money wise, company as well.

I have been here for a while, longer than my join date that got erased because of a reboot of the main site (around 2002 to be exact was my first appearence), but never had the power given to me to lead or greatly assist in its direction. but I have always appreciated the help and kindness that everyone has demonstrated and I rarely felt opressed or silenced hen I expressed my way of thinking, thus showing that I never broke the boundaries of the rules listed and upholded by this forum.

I welcome you as the simple member that I am of this place and hope that this place will eventually please you as much as it does me so that it will always know growth in the long run and success in all of its endeavors.

If ever you feel like simply discussing with a member about anything, I'm always up for a good conversation, I am much more active in my Private Messages than on the board as I'm mostly the type of person that listens more than he speaks. Right now I'm expressing myself more to make you feel more welcome towards this place that I sometimes call my internet home

With that, I wish you a nice stay.

Take Care and Till Next We Meet...

Hello All,

Feel very privileged to be part of this great community. I hope to bring a better site with new features and also the latest software upgrades.

Inu Yasha has been great to me the last few days and it's very good to have him as part of the team. I also look forward to dealing with all the other Moderators and Members. I'm always open to suggestions so please do feel free to PM me, I just hope not all 45,000+ members PM me at once.

Just a little bit of an introduction:

• Location: Japan! Have been here for 6 years now.
• Nationality: Australian
• Job: Webmaster
• Interests: The outdoors, computers and studying Japanese. Love the cricket too! hahaha

I know a bit about manga, but it's only a drop in the ocean compared to all you guys. I chose Dragon Ball as my avatar as the story inspires me.

Hope to learn more as things progress.

Cheers!

Thanks everyone for your kind words, and welcome Trunks as a new Admin.
