Holy crap, time runs fast! It’s already our second birthday! It was two years ago on this very day that Dark Diamond turned from a domain without much purpose to the blog you guys have come to read and love, you do love it, dont you?

But more than you guys loving the site, we love you! We love you so much we print our traffic graphs and sleep with them, we hug them tenderly and dream of you. Well, at least I do that. No, its not creepy, shut up!

We’ve grown and changed a lot since last year. There’s now around 60,000 of you reading us every month, or at least looking at the pretty pictures. Our staff has also changed, some have come, some have gone. We recently welcomed Quiche, Taco and Yue to our team. They are great guys and I hope you enjoy their work. We’ve even gone through our first succesful hacking of the site!

I’d like to make a little request to you guys, on this our birthday. We want to know what you think about DDN. What do you like? What do you hate? What do you want to see more or less of, this is your chance to request and complain. Hit us up in the comments to celebrate!

      Wow, you’ve been out that long?

      Congrats to you then for a job nicely done.

      Now you guys just need to get together and make a special podcast in celebration, featuring a Vocaloid’s Hatsune Miku intro perhaps???

      Just kidding though, Happy birthday!

      2 years… i’m curious how long i’ve been coming here?

      anyways, i love how the site covers gaming news (and anime news for that matter) that other sites don’t bother covering. not to mention, instead of just reposting the same old writing that most other sites do, you guys actually type your OWN opinions on the matter at hand.

      I some how got hyperlinked to your site when I was looking for a review of some anime, but I’m glad I did. I go to DDN at least 3/4x a week. You guys rock. I love the new foray into video reviews.

      What do I *wish*? If there were a space where you guys needed some community input, say with a quick mashup, photoshop or anything where site help or design, that be cool. I’d love to contribute where I can.
