Sorry for the very late into... Yeah, so I've been here for around 5 years and I'm just now getting around to this lol. Just wanted to say hello to all the folks here, and express my gratitude to creators and custodians of this awesome site. LAH is truly one of kind when compared to other sites with similar content or structure. While I've been around here for years now; most of that time was spent lurking in the shadows, until the past couple years when I began actively posting / contributing.
When I first joined; I was pretty weary of the negative stigma my preference held, therefore I avoided communicating on any public forums to avoid the scorn / ridicule that seemed abundantly prevalent on similar format sites. It took a little while (yeah...3 years might be a stretch to call 'a little while') for me to realize LAH was in a class of it's own, to the point that I was hard pressed to find any examples of people getting slammed for their tastes or preferences.
Don't get me wrong here; I'm not a thin skinned softie saptard that can't take a few insults, I just prefer to avoid it if at all possible. Well LAH seemed like that stress-free oasis in the middle of a flame ridden, rant scarred desert. The average members are mature and helpful, and the mods / elders are fair, helpful, and ridiculously resourceful (how many vague, seemingly unheard of, or ancient doujins/animes/games has fjineman miraculously identified...only moments after the request is made? lol). All in all, LAH is awesome and I'm glad to be here among like-minded folks '

Once I got over my initial concerns and started making a valid effort at contributing more, it might sound strange but I feel a strange sense of accomplishment when finding that elusive diamond in the rough someone was seeking here and there. Now whenever I see something come across the board that I'm familiar with, I jump at the opportunity to provide whatever the request is '

Moving on to another topic-
If you're interested, I'll share my preferences for style and favorite circles. Before that, let me assure you of one thing...
....being that I loli, therefore I am loli. If I was stranded on a deserted island and could only have one thing to bring with...it would be loli. The world would be a cold, sad, dark and dismal place if loli wasn't here. Loli is lol; so I simply accept it for what it is (that being loli, as I mentioned), while continually praying for the day a magical 2d loli waifu poofs in front of me, and vows to- be, provide, and fulfill all that is loli, including any way, shape, or form of loli, spanning the entire spectrum of loli... for all years to come.......loli.
Okay now that I've loli....ehem...cleared that up in easy to follow terms (heh), you could sum up my primary preference with one word (not loli this time), and that word is.... ANIMATED. My day brightens tenfold every time a new release comes out, and I see the sparkling tag labels 'animated', 'flash', or 'gif'. I do have a few timeless favorites that are basic CGs or comix, but animated is my cup of tea, bread, and butter.
Regarding my preferred style of loli, it has to be 2D anime style, with a double thumbs up for puni. I make an exception for some 3d stuff drawn with 2D anime-ish styles. I was going to list my long scroll of favorite developers/circles, but that would take to long. I'll give you a few of my number one favorites to give you an idea of the rest... Anami-K (duh), muntin, St. rororo, sakurabo elm (the one with the ichigo games) Faux, Imokenbi, byunbyun, gamecolon, dungeon in the yarn, Oz, LOVE OBJECT, Limit Cycle, Illusion, Kiss, 12Cut, Kaeri No Kai (Mai, and Sevendays circle), Pumpkin, Softhouse Seal, Ekikon Kenkyukai (sp?), Xuse, Holy Water Club, Gimmix, Momomotei (sp?), Mu-soft/skyrockets (another duh), EroJishi Gumi, Metalzigzag, Katesai, and alot more...im sure I've even skipped over some of my favorites...it's just when I tried thinking of them all I couldn't believe how many individual circles I've checked out, not even factoring in the games themselves!
Anywho, I suppose that's the jist of it! Thanks for having me here, and I hope I'm able to do my part in making this place what it is! '
