I’m moving to my own blog!
I’ve decided to start my own blog at: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/blog/.
The reasons why I’ve decided to stop writing on 3yen is because I wanted more flexibility in the subject area since I’m currently learning Chinese. I also have more flexibility over the site itself and you’ll see things like recent comments and static pages that I haven’t been able to add here. Unfortunately, now I’ll have to keep up with the security updates and deal with the spam, a big reason why I started on 3yen.
I’d like to thank Yves, the administrator of 3yen for hosting me for over three years (wow!) and for giving me all the post and comment data. I wish him luck and success. If you’re interested in continuing this blog, feel free to contact him! I never asked for money but who knows, you might actually be able to make some for your efforts!
I hope to see you guys at my new blog. Also to subscribers, please update your feeds to http://www.guidetojapanese.org/blog/feed/
これからもよろしくお願いします！

It’s been a good ride here and I’ll be checking you out on your new site. Many thanks for all of your interesting posts over the years. Lookin’ forward to more.

Thanks Jonathan, I’m writing up a post on my new blog right now.
It would be cool if somebody interesting took over this site. Then there will be two blogs in the place of one!

Yeah, that page-flip girl gives me the creeps! Good riddance!
May 16th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
That flip page led me to 3yen friends and I found my current girlfriend Yumi there. I like 3Yen Friends, thanks Yves for making this

Wow, that was a pretty dick post to write to Yves. I mean its one thing to say goodbye it’s another thing all together to be all “this place is mad shit for all the ads, come to mine with no ads.”

Shikoku88Henro, I don’t think so. Those are your words not mine. I explained everything to Yves before I wrote this post and there are absolutely no ill feelings between us. In fact, he suggested putting the link to my new blog. I understand the need for ads especially when you have to pay for hosting, it’s just not the kind of ads I personally care for. It’s fortunate that I have free hosting from the kind folks at ibiblio.org that removes the need for ads. Besides which, the ads are only one of the reasons why I decided to move.

I like that the ads are going away. I mean, I don’t mind them that much, but it gives a weird image to the site. Like learn japanese just to score with fanatical japanese women.
I’m looking forward to the chinese updates if you make them.

go on and move then, I’ll visit both sites, this thing about the ads is so pathetic, so what if there are ads on a site? there are lots of people who want to meet Japanese girls (who says they are fanatical?) and if they support 3yen cover costs, what’s your concern, you still get content for free
May 19th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Thanks for all the great posts so far. Please keep them up at the new site!
I don’t mind adverts on any website. I just mind the bright red ads on white background with people at work walking past and saying stuff to me like ‘I thought you had a girlfriend’ or ‘ahhh that’s why you are studying Japanese’ Because all they read is the advert text. cheers

free content is free content, anyone who whines about ads should pay and get real Japanese lessons
June 20th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Yves is a good guy, too complain about his site becoz of ads is sad. You should have just said you were moving and not complain about 3yen. Just coz you got free hosting so you don`t have to have ads is a shallow point. Shows what kind of guy you are.

When ever I search for your site I always end up here first. There’s useful content on both thoough :D
