Just a quick note to encourage everyone to upload their best Cosplay photos from their Halloween costumes! Be sure to upload wherever you like (depending on your intent), whether it be here, in your AnimeConPics gallery or join the competition for the best cosplay on CosplayWar.

| Another Sister Site in the Network! |
Another site has been added to the AlternativeNicheNetwork, but unlike some of the others, this one is anime-related: Cosplay War.
Here is an excerpt from the basic description:
" Cosplay War is a website where people can upload pictures of their favorite cosplayers, which others can vote on. Two cosplayers are chosen at random and put against each other. The winner is chosen and then two more are drawn. The selections will continue as long as the user enjoys, meanwhile aggregating and ranking the cosplayers based and data from all users. Search and browse photos of all the costumes or upload your own!"
So, if you're interested, please visit the websitee[/link] and cast your vote for your favorite cosplayers!
On a note closer to home, we are very close to finalizing the new AnimeDates design. Once we do, we will post some of the mocks! Look for it in the next few weeks! |

| AnimeConPics.com - Phase 2 is Live! |
As noted in the Messageboard Post last week, the second wave of features has been launched on AnimeConPics.com.
This is HUGE news for AnimeDates members, since it's the new AnimeDates platform that is driving the development of AnimeConPics. You can consider AnimeConPics a test-platform for the AnimeDates redesign.
The new features consist of the following:
• Highest Rated Images page added (and RSS Feed) [http://www.animeconpics.com/images/highest-rated/]
• Most Recent Uploaded Images page (and RSS Feed) [http://www.animeconpics.com/images/recent/]
• Added User Avatars including 10 Default Avatars and the ability to turn ANY of your uploaded photos into your Avatar! [http://www.animeconpics.com/images/SelectAvatar.aspx]
• Implemented the new AnimeDates Messaging System!
The messaging system is the biggest part of the new launch and contains a slew of useful features on it's own:
A custom message builder that allows custom fonts, colors and more. We even have brand-new ANIME-RELATED SMILEYS that you can use to send your messages, with more to come!
Inbox, Sent, Trash folders, or add as many custom folders as you need!
Manage all your custom folders from one simple location.
Organize your folders with the click of a mouse.
Reply and Forward features.
Send a message to up to five users at once.
We have not decided when we will be scheduling a Phase 3 for AnimeConPics, but we will still be slowly adding features in the future!!!
Look for more news on the AnimeDates redesign and much more on the Alternative Niche Network, coming soon!
In the meantime, check out the new AnimeConPics.com and upload ALL your Anime and Cosplay related photos! |
