Yes, I know the ROS (Raging Otaku Society) site (Modesto, CA's independent anime fan club from 2000-2006ish?) is offline at this time. It may be coming back, possibly in a different form very soon.

Why?
1. I relocated the Raider3.com domain name to go to the nice, shiny new, and bigger NetworkR3.com server. (I get a gold star for figuring out how to do that on my own -- with a little help from Google searching, of course! ^_-;)
2. The club more or less lost steam. I worked, the leadership (Patrick and I) kept taking off most weekends to do stuff.
3. The greater availability of translated anime (both commercial video releases and downloadable/streaming fan translations) more or less made it possible for fans to view anime in the privacy of their own homes.
4. Oh, social interaction? Lots more anime conventions, events, gatherings, etc.

So, should we revive it? Is anyone in the area (Modesto, Oakdale, Ceres, Salida, Riverbank, other outlying communities) still interested in getting together, watching anime, talking about stuff, and having a grand old time?
Does that sound like something you'd like?

The site archive may be revived here, or new content may appear here very soon. I've got the time, the space, and I can write. Oh, man, can I write... Content is king! (or queen! ^_-;)

Did you know I also have a rather overgrown and semi-unfinished web site? raider3.com / networkr3.com
