Even looking back on the forum during those times I can't find anything specific. Nothing on the AMV Mailing list as well.

100 years ago, maybe kids walked 5 miles to school in the snow, uphill both ways. But today if a kid had to do that, they would just choose to skip school and smoke pot.
Back in the day, in order to see AMVs, you only had a few choices. Watch them at conventions, get access to an ftp server that had some, or get them through an amv creator's personal website (and most creators weren't able to provide their own hosting back then).
Then the org came around, and it simplified things a bit. The method of getting videos didn't really change, but it simplified the process by making 1 site where you could keep up to date on the latest video releases and such.
Then, things got even better, and the org offered free video hosting. It was now the defacto way to get videos. It was SO EASY compared to what we had been offered before. And so everyone flocked here and took advantage of it.
But now, the org is a relic. This site is outdated and its not so easy to use anymore, in comparison to the rest of the internet. This site is like having to walk 5 miles to school in the snow, uphill both ways. The old guys who have been around for a while will still say there is no problem, and the new guys are just spoiled. But in reality, the site is just becoming increasingly irrelevant in a modern internet.




the internet continued to change and evolve, and this website didn't.
