| New Poll - Love Sounds |
That title seems so wrong...Anyways, before I talk about the polls, a reminder that from July 2-5 is AnimeExpo in Los Angeles, CA. You can find instructions for finding me on this thread:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=12579
(Or if you know my in person...which at least 2 people who read this do...call my cell phone...)
For other news, we're hiring site coders (so we can get v2 out...finally...), so read the news post below for more details!
Now on to the poll:
This poll was submitted by our member CatzCradle. More of a shoujo one than anything else though...Just choose your favorite sound that indicates falling in love.
You can discuss this poll on our forums here:

Sure, "no" was gonna win, but a lot of us still let our entertainment change us, either for the better or the worse... |

| OOP PHP Developers Needed |
Hello all,
I've been working on some behind the scenes framework updates, and am looking for some people who might be interested in helping.
Requirements are:
- Knowledge of PHP with several previous OOP examples
- Knowledge of Design patterns such as Singleton, Strategy, Factory, Abstraction Layers, and others
- Previous website coding experience, understanding of GET/POST/cookies, the concept of user sessions
- Knowledge of MySQL, strong knowledge of SQL Injection and exploitation techniques.
- Willing to follow our coding standards (essentially, we require that all conditional logic have curly brackets, and that they occupy their own line)
- ... A lot of free time
This is a volunteer position. You will have a chance to contribute to a project which sees a large audience. We're open to new design ideas as you see them as well.
I appreciate any interest you have. If you are interested, please email
manick@baka-updates.com with your previous OOP, PHP, MySQL, Website, etc experience. If you meet the qualifications, we'll send you more information about the project.
Thank you again for your interest. |

| New Poll - Reality Manga/Anime |
This poll was suggested by our member Perim. The poll itself has simple choices, yet is a little hard to explain. Basically, does manga/anime affect real world decisions that you make? Perhaps you act a certain way now just because you read Naruto (think of all the little kids running around like ninjas...) Or perhaps you listen to classical music more because of Nodame Cantabile. Or any number of possible influences...

| New Poll - Many Groups, One Series |
Summer has started for me, and here's a poll to knock it off~
This one's by our member JohnHomos (wow, 2 in a row?). The poll itself is interesting in the views of scanlators and how they work...(Although just to note, joints between groups can be difficult depending on the people and how they work)
