Well, now that that is out of the way... Happy Birthday Mangaupdates! You are three! Unfortunately I don't have anything planned, but as always I'll give you some juicy stats to show our growth over the past year.
So far, we've had 168 million page views since we were founded 3 years ago. Of those, half of those occurred this year alone. This is a testament to the support you have all given us over the years! Thank you all for your continued support.
Long live MU!
We have a new rating system... series are now ranked by the bayesian system. This will hopefully provide a fairer ranking for all series (weighted by the number of votes now).
Here they are... I'll be thinking up a new poll... if you have some suggestions, please send me a PM!

This time our network card died... sorry once again for the downtime!
New Skip Beat review thanks to celinae!
Read it [sitelink=reviews.html?id=172]here[/sitelink].
Our power supply died earlier today and we accidentally gave the wrong server id to the tech guys... it's all fixed now though. Sorry for the downtime!
This is just a few small features I added today and yesterday:
- The search function now does fulltext searches of the descriptions. So if you search for 'baseball', it will show series that have that in their description etc...
- If you click series stats in the menu to the right, you can now click "Reading List, Wish List" etc.. to see which series have the most readers/wishers etc.
more to come
