One-year anniversary

[DrFrag]

The first site I ever visited in relation with Astroboy has been Astro Forever's former 'Astro le petit robot' website more than 4 years ago.

That's was Astro Forever's site? :d oh: I had no idea!

Oops, I didn't mean to abash you, Astro Forever. Hopefully I haven't given away what ought to stay confident.
Somehow I assumed DrFrag knew for a long time already that you were the creator of this site. If I remember correctly, your site's original URL was like http://www.generation.net/choupie/~astro.

Oh no, I would have said it otherwise. No harm done.

I never said anything about it here because... I don't know, I guess I find it pale in comparison to this one or others. It wasn't really what I would have liked it to be, I guess, but I didn't have the whole series back then and no mean to take screenshots either. I started it when I decided I wanted to try to do a website over my Christmas vacation one year. I didn't want it to be just about "me, my friends, my pets, my favorite TV shows..." and there wasn't anything on Astroboy in French on the Internet back then (!) so that's how it started. I have to say that I did it mainly for myself. As ridiculous as it may seem now, I thought I'd have at most a few tens of visitors a year. I was soooo wrong lol!

The site died when I had to switch Internet providers and had no time anymore to update it. I thought of starting a new one a year or two ago but I kind of forgot about it. You are correct about the URL.

Oh, and while we're on this topic: the French company that released the DVDs took a text from my website and put it on theirs as they advertised the soon to be released DVD boxset. I was wondering if my writing would also end up on the boxset itself, but I think Strange Wings had told me it didn't? I don't remember, and I have never had the European boxset in my hands.

However, they had also put in on some kind of database of old children TV shows they own, but I just took a look and the text changed a bit, so I guess that must be what is on the box? Well, the text did change a little, but it's still awfully close to what was on my webiste.

Also, on the back of the boxset I bought here last month, there is a text that's also very close to what I had written. It's not as close as the text that's still on the French company's site but the influence is obvious, both in the structure and in the chosen words. Since the masters used here were the French masters, I assume they also wrote the text from what the French company had given them.

I happened to see some of my writings on other fans' sites back then and I didn't really mind, but I never thought any serious company would do something like this. Holding this box in my hands and reading this text feels so weird.

YAY! I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR NOW!!!

Not yet: according to your profile, your join date was April 23rd, 2006.

I think I registered on April 1st, 2005, although I had posted as a guest 24 hours earlier. I thought I'd stick for a few days at the time and then come back once in a while.

I should have known better!
