Only one day of no updates in there instead of three weeks. Pretty good, huh? ~laughs~

Today I did some internal stuff, probally unexciting to you guys. I cleaned out some old files, and such. Plus, I updated the whole Books section, including the Latest and Rumors page so everything is current. I also got to update my Profile, as so did Brandon (yes, he DOES still work here. :0) HINT HINT, Brandon). Though I will give him some credit. He does stay alive on the message board, and he DID update his own profile. :0) Good Job, B!

Finally, just a word out to EVERYONE reading this. I was scanning through my prize box the other day and I happened to find some cool stuff I really need to send out to someone. Yes, it's true. I am about to set up a contest that YOU can win REAL prizes, baby! ~crowd cheers~ I still have in my pocession for YOU to win: a FREE Animorphs Customizable Card Game (worth $20 American; the Rachel/Marco Set), an Animorphs book of choice ($4.99 American), Animorph Taco Bell Transformers (NO IDEA what they are worth), various other small Ani-prizes, AND, if you act NOW, A FREE Animorphs MM2 poster that is VERY VERY RARE! How can you get these FABULOUS FREE PRIZES, you ask?

Well...I'm not sure yet...

That's the thing. I need a good contest idea so I can give away this prize package. Soooo, send in your contest ideas to: Tyler@ani-news.com ASAP! And check back here for further details, soon! That's all for now! BYE!

Hey hey! I ACTUALLY have a couple of decent updates for you today. First, I posted a funny new rant for your enjoyment. Secondly, I also posted a new Book Review, the first in over a year. How sad is THAT? Aw well.

I also updated the links page with all the still-active/still-worth-viewing websites. Make sure you browse that. That's all for now. Talk to you later!

Hi people. Sorry, again, for the updates-gap. It gets hard when I get tons of e-mails asking me to update, but noone sends me anything TO update. So, anyway. Over the last month, I have posted new TV episodes, but forgot to post them here. Soo, if you just check out the site, and not the board- new TV episodes could be new for you. The main point of this update is to show you some GREAT new fan-art Char R has sent me. Char has done it again! EXCELLENT work. Make sure you go check them out! That's all for now, see you later.

Well, it's 12:30 AM. Does that count as the 11th now? Hmm...I suppose.... he he. Anyway, I have a larger update for you. Well, large considering the updates we've had lately. First, I added a new rant for you. And may I say, this is the first rant in 11 months. Wow. Secondly, I added TWO new poems. They are INCREDIBLE. Make sure you check them out. I also updated the Character List with missing characters from the series, thanks to Petey.

And finally, I'd like to give a shout out to an awesome site in the making. The Animorphs Sector is a VERY cool site you guys ALL need to check out. I was looking through it today, and it has some incredible stuff that will be coming soon! So make sure you take time to do that! That's all for now! See you tomarrow!

Hey folks. Well, I have a couple of things for you today. First, I thought I'd jump in here and let all those who don't know already know about this. For the past couple of days on the message board, I have been featuring a little 'tv show' gif animation. It started getting to be alot of fun, so I deceided to create a REAL Tv Show for Ani-News. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Ani-News.com TV!

~Wild Clapping~

Thank you, thank you. :0) Anyway, I have stuck the image for A-N.com TV down near the bottom of the page, so check that out.

Secondly, I'd like to thank all of you for sticking with the site. Our hits began to slide when animorphs stopped, but I am proud to say that we are back up to about 100 hits PER DAY! Thank you SO MUCH! You don't know how much your visitation means to me.

Finally, I have an announcment regarding The Fan Fiction HeadQuarters. Unfortuently, it had to be temporarily shut down. The FFHQ has become so wildly popular with over 60 authors and over 70 stories, we exceded our bandwidth limit of 100 MB's per month by over 70 MB's the past three months. This means that our server shut us down temporarily. The only way I can fix this is to begin purchasing web space to keep it up, so I will let you know on the progress. It will be down, I'm sure, for the next couple of days, and I'm sorry for the inconvienience. That's all for now, but I'll be back later! Thanks!

Hey all! What's up? Not much here. I just wanted to post to let you all know about a major project a special crew and I are working on. Put it this way, it's going to be INCREDIBLE. I can't say more now, but it's coming. Soon.

Other than that, I just moved the links to the Fan Fiction HeadQuarters from the Message Board to the mainpage. Happy New Year, and enjoy!

SEND IN YOUR FAN STUFF. It's the ONLY way to keep the site running! Bye for now! I WILL be back.

Hey! I don't really have much time today, so I added just a new Info page. I know many of you have seen it before, but some of you have not. It's the K.A.A. chat transcript from this summer answering tons of your questions! Check it out, here to see it! I also made a new background, but I don't know if I like it or now, so I didn't post it today. Maybe tomarrow.

That's it for now. I just wanted to let you know that the Fan Fiction Headquarters server is really weird today and giving everyone problems. So if you are having trouble with it, so is everyone else. Sorry about that. I'll try to get it fixed ASAP! Bye!

Not the greatest thing in the world, but I think it's pretty darn cool! I have a brand new Site Intro for you! Check it out! It's my favorite so far, but that's just me. That's all for now, but I WILL update with more later this week! Go check out the ani-news.com fan fiction headquarters! It's a HUGE hit! Bye for now!

People!! Awesome update! Lets.. wait a minute... Let me get this straight... I'm just watching Rosie O'Donnell...  And.. and she said that on MONDAY, Britney Spears will be on... Br.. Britney.. Britney Spears.. BRITNEY SPEARS! AH! 

*blink blink*

Oh.. *gets out pen & paper, writes out time* Tyler! You hear that? BRITNEY!

:) Har har har.. I'm gonna get some cold shoulders for THAT one. ;-)

As I was saying, lets do a little "Remember When..."

Remember When...
     Clifford was here?
     the site was called "The Total Aninews Experience"?
     Kurt was here, and did those awesome "Backgrounds" in the download page?

Weellll..... TA DAA!! No, Clifford isn't back.. No, we're not renaming the site.. No, Kurt's not coming back, BUT! The Backgrounds ARE! I've made Six fun filled backgrounds for YOUR enjoyment! Personally, I like Rachel and Cassie's best.. But go look for yourself. Just click this link right here. Yup, this one. Or this one. Or any one. Click a link! You wanna see the backgrounds? Put your mouse curser over THIS link, and CLICK! Go ahead. You know you want to. 

Anyway... Go here.. Download.. Look.. Put on your Desktop.. Whatever. ;-)

Cindy, we hardly knew ye... Actually, everyone else did, but I never really got to talk to you. But you sounded like a cool person! I enjoyed your work here at A-N.com, and your Character Lists will forever be treasured! I think I speak for everyone when I say - Thank you for helping to entertain Animorph Fans around the globe, and you will be missed. ~B

There.. Now that the Sad Part is over.. *sniff* I'm gonna miss Cindy... She couldn't stay for Prom even? *sigh* Well, I just want to let people know that today is Prom day! ...and i'm still Dateless... But I do have a campaign for Prom King!!

~sighs~ I promised myself I would stay til the end...well, that can't happen. ~sighs again~ I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave AE here. Real life is starting to crowd. It's becoming a few net things and many IRL things. And not even a week from now, I will become a Junior in highschool and that will demand more free time from my life. Ugh. Evil highschool. I sadly must leave AE to keep my number of net things down. It's been great working here for...um...I can't even remember how long. Sorry, Tyler. Sorry, Brandon. But I must sadly leave this wonderful place trading for more crud IRL. So I must say...adios!

I just got my laptop back from being fixed, and during the transition of stuff from my current 'puter to my laptop, my hard drive crashed, and a couple files were lost. The Folder containing my Project Z stuff was also deleted, and I hadn't uploaded it yet... It wasn't finished, but it was comin along cool... 

Anyway, sorry no morph for today...  Peace.

G'day mates! Well, I am back from Australia and New Zealand, and I had the TIME OF MY LIFE! I have NEVER had more fun! It was incredible. Flat out incredible. I'll do a quick update here, and then on to a few pictures!

Today I updated with ALOT of new News that I missed while I was gone. Sorry if it's late, but it's still really interesting, and VERY surprising! Check it out!

Well, enough of actual updates! :0) Time for pictures. These are just a few of the 16 rolls I brought back. I got to play with kangaroos, climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, go mountain repeling, swim with dolphins, stay on an island where the 'Scooby Doo' movie was being filmed (Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr left 3 days before I came! Dangit! They are the stars of the movie. But I got pictures on the set! Pretty cool!), snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef, and so much more! I also got to meet with ex-ani-news worker, Kurt, in Brisbane, Australia! It was AWESOME! So, here are just a few of my pictures! Enjoy! (click for larger images!)

Hey all! Only 2 days 'till I leave for Austrailia! It's actually starting to hit me that I am going! :0) Yeehaa! Okay- to the update.

I added a new Poem today, again. It's pretty cool! Go read it! Secondly, the infamous Chat with K.A. was updated. I taught her some new sayings and such. BUT, she seems to be broken or something, so she's not working at the momment. Well, for me at least. Apparently she's 'talking' to other people.... Hmmm... I'll try to fix her ASAP!. Sorry about this!

Lastly, I made a new banner that you can find at the bottom of this page. It's to advertise the fact that everyday, at 6PM Central Time, we hold a chat in our Chatroom. Your welcome to come! That's all for now! Talk to you later!

Hey all! How are you? Good I hope. Let's start with the update!

Today I was fiddling around and made an all-new Ani-News.com Flash Introduction! I like it better than the first one, and I really hope you like it too. Tell me what you think. Post on the Message Board or e-mail me. Whatever your heart desires! :0)

Okay, yesterday I started my update by telling you about a trip I was going on. Today I will indulge on that. As some of you may remember, way back in September, I told you that I was selected as a Student Ambassador from the United States to Australia this summer. Well, my training is done, and I leave for down under on Friday! Yippee! Wish me luck. I am so excited! I will meet with Kurt (ex A-N.com employee), and get a few pictures of us together for you! That will be fun!

Here's the catch. I am gonna be gone for over three weeks. That means no updates from me for three weeks. I hope Cindy and Brandon will be around to update, but I don't know if they will. Sooooo, anyway. I will be updating until Thursday, and then until the 30th of June, the updates of the site may be sparse. I will be asking someone to moderate the message board while I am gone, but those are my only plans for now. Stay tuned for more info. That's all for now! Take care!

Hey all! Well, today I have something pretty cool! I have created a Flash Introduction to the site! I first debuted it on the message board two days ago, but it has been updated and spiffed up! Go see it tell me what you think! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the first ever Ani-News.com Shockwave Flash Introduction! It takes about a minute and a half to load on a 28.8 modem! It goes quick! That's all for now. More tomorrow! Bye!
