A repost from the news, since our birthday celebration deserves a forum thread! ^^
-----
Five years ago today, I registered animecharactersdatabase.com with the hopes of creating a website that would people find the answer to "Who's This Character".
We went online early May 2007 with a thousand characters from roughly a hundred sources. All indexed by 6 key traits: Eye Color, Hair Color, Hair Length, Age, Gender, and animal ears.
These past 5 years, the site has grown so much. Form 10,000 daily visitors and 30,000 characters in 2010 to 50,000 daily visitors and 46,000 characters in 2012.
A lot of amazing things began happening in 2011.
anonymous17 (aka Hime-sama), Yeray, LiCobra, EatsSweets, Igraine, flareburst have all contributed over 1000 characters! Hime-sama did the impossible, contributing over 9000 characters in under a year.
Bogie, Sas, Hikarihaze, LiCobra, sunshade, InfernalQueen, Igraine, anonymous17 and EatsSweets have all done an amazing job helping with the Who's This Character Board. Solving more than a hundred posts each! And Bogie's past 1000.
And can't forgot our moderators that keep the site running smoothly, helping with a great many things! CaptainBrain, 13x31, Satellizer123, LiCobra, Igraine, InfernalQueen, anonymous17, and Shinigami_55!
Yet, with all we've accomplished in 5 years, I feel we still have so far to go!
With a growing community, and an ever dynamic site.... one day, we'll be #1 in anime!

A little shoutout for me (Rei).
I added the first 26,000 characters from 2635 anime and game titles. 100% of the code that runs ACDB was written by me, and continues to be maintained by me. ( Currently 287631 lines, 894698 words, 10882448 bytes of code and 15581 subversion commits ) I build and maintain our servers. First with OAMP ( OpenBSD + Apache + MySQL + PHP ) setups in 2008 up until 2010 when I switched to FLMP ( FreeBSD + Lighttpd + MySQL + PHP ). I've taught myself PHP, Assembly, Bash, MySQL, DNS, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Gentoo Linux, Debian Linux, GDB, and C among many other tech skills along the way. It's been a fun journey for me, one I hope never ends! ^_^

Give a "HELL YEAH!" for the great ACDB and for the awesome Rei!

< Rei> oh! that The idea was to implement something like Slashdot's
comment system .. and I did code it, but it doesn't quite work as well as I'd hoped for ACDB. Comments can be rated Insightful +1 Interesting +1 Funny +1 Informative +1 or Off Topic -1 Troll -1 You Don't Say -1 No Longer Applicable -1 Anon posts start at 0 Member posts start at 1 Admin posts start at 2 And comments can be rated up/down to a max of +5/-5

< otakuno1> You know, i asked the exact same question to jan one day...they are scores which can be either increased or decreased by mods
Jun 15, 2013
< OMGasm> Hey Rei, I always wondered, what's with the 'Score:X' on comments?(X being a number :P)

< Akikojam> A nice edit tool indeed. Might be useful, if main image is filtered
