just have a 10 second google adsense page that redirects to animemusicvideos.org, you'll have your money back in no time.

Really though i'm finding it more difficult to make vids cause id rather spend that energy on things that are 100% my own. AMVs are a good point to start with your creative process but you eventually have to take those steps to do something more.
Been 12 years and i don't feel that jaded the whole things changed surely but who in there right mind would say they want to go back to 2vcrs. And like many people i like to think that i still have better things i can do instead of reaching some sort of imaginary peak which i will then vanish from.

From age 13-19, AMVs were THE most important thing in my life. AMVs allowed me to grow into myself and helped me realize that I was an artist, not a clerk at Blockbuster Video.
I still enjoy watching the classics, but I haven't seen any new creators that spark my interest in a long time, and yes that means all you new french fags with your trapcode shine.

My email to the owner basically said "I was wondering if I could buy this or get you to forward your domain to the .org out of kindness" (but better worded).
Her response is this:Wow, I haven't gotten an email about that domain in a long time.
The reason why I don't forward the domain is simple: I have my own plans for the domain. I've had this domain since... early 2000? I got it because back in the day I used to host an FTP site with about 20 GB of amvs and I got the domain for it. It has had different iterations but is currently dead (and has been dead for at least 4-5 years). I've got something I've been working on in the background planned for the site, it just isn't anywhere near ready.
As for buying the domain: I'm not really willing to sell. It has sentimental value to me. Someone once tossed me a number of 10k and I wasn't willing to part with it for that, so you'd be hard pressed to get me interested. Sorry.
So I guess that's never happening.
Oh well.

Unfortunately, that same 99% couldn't IVTC to save their grandmother, but that's a story for a different day.
Heck, even many of the VCA winners these days are fairly new people who I don't really know.
