**IMPORTANT NOTICE**

Due to a sitewide glitch, anyone who had a trade for game items open during item nomalization around July 14th saw their game items swell to epic proportions. Possession of or trading these glitched items is a bannable offense. If you or anyone you know have these glitched items in your/their inventory, you/they need to report them to this thread. The thread is offering an Amnesty program for anyone who has items related to this glitch. Report the glitched items there before August 18, 2008, so they can be removed, and your account should be safe. Failure to report glitched items will result in a ban. Please spread the word to anyone with glitched items.

**/IMPORTANT NOTICE**

Any user on my friends list who hasn't logged in since April 1, 2008 or later has been removed. As always, being removed doesn't mean that I don't consider you a friend. It just means you aren't around enough and you don't talk to me enough.

I also did some removing of people from my YouTube friends list. It looks like quite a few accounts have been suspended for ToS violations (including a few users that I've long suspected to be spambots). I'm down to 17 friends on YouTube. I also wanted to remove people who have subscribed to my videos and gotten suspended, but it appears YouTube doesn't give users that power...

YouTube also seems to have added a new feature called "insight". It allows one to view various statistics such as number of views per day, demographics of viewers (by age, gender, state/country) and more. I'm not sure how useful it is, but it's interesting to view. It's a fun time waster. One interesting fact is that more than half of my viewers are minors. I find this suprising as most hardcore and even softcore Melee players are now into their twenties.

I bought my first anime DVDs on July 16th. I bought Cowboy Bebop Remix: Complete Collection. I also wanted the movie, but it was apparently out of stock. It seems like I remember seeing the CardCaptor Sakura series and movies there, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. It know that some anime is seasonal, so hopefully it'll be back in stock later this year. I did see Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle was available, which was tempting. I've heard it's very good. But since I haven't seen it yet I decided not to buy it until after I've seen at least some of it.
