Welcome to TheYanni.net, I am your host Yanni. Well we transferred over here from TheYanni.com, because my payment period ran out at, hostonce.com, the site which has hosted TheYanni.com for the past 3 years. Three years ago I started this website after the DBZMission became too much of a hassle and I wasn't interested in the sourse material anymore. I tried making other sites on anime and other stuff, but none of it stuck, and all the places for free hosting were just aweful as i was sick of pop-ups and having a thousand banner ads on my sites. So I just stopped for 8 months. Then while i was at New Paltz I got a bit of inspiration, from writing a story, and seeing some other sites on the net i decided maybe doing a site on something else wasn't the way to go. It wastime to make "my" website. and thus I signed up, and got TheYanni.com and was good...for a while. Well all of a sudden the site started slowing down, I couldn't upload anything, and then I couldn't login. I sent many messages to hostonce asking for help. And a few other ones where I was very angry. And then like 4 months down the road or so I got access back and continuued with the site. But during this time I started taking classes on websites and design so I learned a lot of new stuff to make the page better. While the look of the site has remained essentially unchanged since the beginning, the orginization and the technology behind it has grown greatly. I went from doing a journal by hand and seting up links and suck, to using Blogger, which after I designed the template does all the work for me. All the sites are formatted the same, and use the same colors, and text size thanks to CSS (cascading style sheets), and now the links or Retreat page is doen in PHP allowing me to add more sites effortlessly. In the future I hope to make the whole site PHP once i can learn it properly. But after all that Hostonce has cause me trouble again...the fact that their customer service is...nonexistant, its like to send amessage to their tech support just to make you feel better, they don't actually do anything about it. I told them I couldn't afford the payment plan i was on with them, and they only had one payment option, so I asked them to tell me when my website ran out, so I could back everything up. I never heard anything back from them. But last week all of a sudden the site was gone, but thankfully I had already back stuff up. So I went to fruitad.net, the company that hosts MegaTokyo, Ctr Alt Del, and many other fine sites. They had a good plan I could afford and plenty of freedom of what I could do. Also fairly new to TheYanni empire, we have some affiliates as I'm sure you saw on the main page MightyMatrix and TheCatherine, and coming soon TheJimothy, and maybe even TheFerro, or anyone else who wants to join TheYanni.net family. Perhaps one day TheYanni.com will return, but for now long live TheYanni.net, and may I update more often, and finish the Otakon pictures page for god sakes.

Oh well Happy Birthday TheYanni your 3 years old this month, out of the terrible 2's ond now hopefully the terrific 3's. Thanks to all who come to this site, and support it you are all awesome. Give yourself a pat on the back, since I can't do it from here.
