Nice to meet you Miss Mashi! (Can I call you that?) I quite like what's in your sig as well! ::beams:: And I'm not sure whether to be disappointed or relieved about missing those events.
Oh, hey Mr. Smon. You are male, right? I'm so gender-indiscriminate, I bet I won't remember the sex of my own children. But I remember you! Wow. Hi.

As for the flash, well, I will admit I'm not too fond of it as actual mechanisms for a site. Especially intros. I hate splash pages too. Rawr, useless things.
But since I love good media-talent, if you would like to submit something flash as fanart, that would be awesome. I would kiss your feet. Or you could just make some damn buttons. The site needs better buttons.
