This particular poll was suggested almost two years ago by Vudoodude...(I don't really like any of the current suggestions)

2 authors who split up the story and drawing - votes: 1765 (15.5%)

There were 11359 total votes.
The poll ended: February 6th 2010
To be expected, the "Don't Care" option won the most votes (including mine), but out of the ones who do care, 1 author seems to be the choice
This poll was suggested by our member Regnak. So what's your view on multiple authors working on the same series? (This does not count assistants as "authors"). Think of like CLAMP or something else

Question: Do you read doujinshi?
Choices:
Yes - votes: 7586 (58.7%)
No - votes: 4054 (31.4%)
What are doujins? - votes: 1283 (9.9%)
There were 12923 total votes.

Now, out of the ones who do read doujinshi, how many of them are hentai?
As you can probably tell, I widened the site a bit. Most people have monitors that are larger than 800x600 these days, so this shouldn't be that big of a deal to most of you. If you find something that doesn't look quite right (compared to how it did before), please report it to me (or post it somewhere...)
For those of you keeping track, yes, this is our first site design change in the history of MU (that's over 5.5 years). Since I suck at design (and hence, cannot fix the banner), I cheated, and made the right sidebar go up to the top of the screen. It opened a good spot for our totally awesome mascot, so I think it works. We'll see how people react ...
In case it doesn't quite look right, reload your page a few times. This should update your style sheets. Or just clear your cache
Update 1 Fixed bugs, also, I increased the size for author/series images, so they can be 300pixels wide now.
Update 2 Banner was extended so that it fits the whole width, so the search bar has moved back to its original place
This poll came from my own head, since I didn't like any of the suggestions...

I finally convinced Manick to do some work, so now authors can also have associated names (just as series do). Hopefully there won't be 2 entries for the same author anymore. Just add alternate spellings and stuff like that under this new associated name field
Note: Searching by an associated name currently does not work. We're working on it
