That's right this is the day I joined #Hatena. I really do miss that place. I fell in love with it the moment I joined. At that time I was a pretty poor artist. But that didn't stop me from animating. I made flipnotes almost every day for a little more than a month. That's when Nintendo announced it's shut down. I was devastated, I actually got teary-eyed the first night I heard it was going to be cancelled.

I tried to make more flipnotes, but no motivation came to me. And on top of that my DSi stopped working for a couple of weeks. Somewhere around the begining of May my DSi started to work again. My style and my animation skills were greatly improved. About a week before May thirty-first, I posted a flip that said I will no longer be posting flips, I just couldn't make anymore, I was too depressed.
When Hatena finally shut down, I sat in my bedroom staring at my wall depressed and filled with grief. Day after day I felt as if something was missing. I just couldn't let go of the past, in fact even now I can't let go.
That's why I am now deciding to finally let go, to give up the past and look forward to the future. I will miss you Hatena, but I can no longer mourn for you I must no move on.

Yeah, same here : / thats probablly the reason I'm not joining the new one (Also since I cant get the thing to work), I'm gonna stick out for FS3D, becuase hatena isn't back, its hac.ktena. Also it probably isn't legal to be doing that.

Happy Anniversary GaNLey!
I completely understand how you feel...
I was on since the beginning of two thousand eleven
...
The experience and friends I got from that will likely never happen again.
I lost contact with some people after it ended D:
but I also stayed with great friends.
like you.
I'm so glad I got to be a part of the original flipnote hatena.
I won't be joining this 'new' hatena thing. It's not. actually. hatena.
bleh. I hate pirated things like this.
and now, to cheer up the mood:
When I first saw your flipnotes... I thought you were ranked number thirteen XD
turns out you had already gotten 13 fans in your first two weeks.
good job
:D

Why hello there Fluffy!
You are one of those friends I'm glad I met :D
Now onto what I was going to say:
This new flipnote thing... isn't it a copyright infringement? This guy is probably puttingnit out for free... BUT he's putting it under the company name of Hatena. That may be copyright. either way I don't expect this to last long. nor do I really feel like joining it.
If I do animate on flipnote hatena, it WON'T be on some fake and unreliable 3rd party application.
just saying.
:T

This guy named Sudomemo got premission from both companies, and you can go back on. There is a bug, so you cannot post flipnotes yet.
