He put up one of the first English Sailormoon site ever. He
gave basic
information, episode summaries, that HUGE Encyclopedia, and
spawned a whole
lot of other Sailormoon sites. Now he's apparently obsolete
because he
doesn't have enough images. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE
THINKING?!?!
*calms down* Alright. Flash back to 1995-1996. My family
didn't have a
Pentium or even Windows. We had a 3.86 IBM with DOS.
And for an internet explorer..black background, white text,
no images.
(Might have even been Lynx.) More primitive than Netscape
1. I bet you can't
imagine what it was like to try to surf the web using that.
There were only a few Sailormoon sites up back then. The
seriously defunct
Outer Senshi Corridor Of Sailormoon, Castle In The Sky,
maybe the AQ, and
Hitoshi Doi's. Couldn't see the other three, but Hitoshi
Doi's page was one
I -could- look at. (No offense to you, goddesses of WPRs)
Hitoshi Doi designed his site so everyone could look at his
page, no matter
how primitive the browser. Everyone else is now designing
their pages for
Netsapce, MIE, and others. I can't imagine trying to surf
these pages now
with that browser. I bet I could still look at Hitoshi
Doi's, though.
I had the pleasure of meeting Hitoshi Doi at Anime North
'99 last June. He
was polite, friendly, and had a big smile on his face. If I
ever meet any
other famous WPMs, I hope they act just like he did.
So, you people with your MIE 5, Netscape 4, Win98, and a
56.6 KPS connection,
try and imagine working with a primitive browser, and only
having Hitoshi
Doi's page to look at. He should be treated with a lot more
respect than what
he's given.
