End of AnimeTosho BETA!
Published: Apr 01, 2014
It's something that has been greatly anticipated by you visitor folk for a long time. It has been asked multiple times. And after nearly three years of development and testing, I am proud to announce that the time has arrived.
AnimeTosho is going out of beta!
That's right! We're finally halting development of all new features and scrapping that ugly "BETA" label in the top left corner up there. Beta may have been awesome, but the FULL AnimeTosho experience will be even better!
We hope that you've enjoyed testing this free trial of the full AnimeTosho service over the past few years. As a token of appreciation for all testers, once we switch off the beta, all currently registered users will receive 30 days' premium service on their accounts, absolutely FREE! (so register NOW if you want to be eligible) See further below for what benefits you will receive with this premium membership.
This is a very exciting time for everyone on the AnimeTosho team, as it means that we start making bucketloads of money are finally moving into the ultimate phase of AT that we've been working towards. But without further ado, we'll go further into the details that everyone's been waiting for.
Benefits of the FULL version AnimeTosho website
- Removal of the BETA tag means that pages will load quicker, since there's less data to load.
- Removing BETA also gives AT a cleaner layout on the left side.
- Halting future development means that the website will stay consistent and no new bugs/glitches will be introduced. If you're still reeling from the MS Office 2007 blues (Windows 8 anyone?), you won't have to worry about it once AT goes out of beta.
- Being able to support us for all the work that's gone in, as well as helping us keep the site alive.
- Membership levels! (see below)
AnimeTosho membership levels
An exciting new and novel* feature that we will be offerring as a part of the full AT experience are membership levels. Many of you should be familiar with the concept, even if this may sound a little weird, so I'll just dump the familiar table and let you figure out the rest

| Advertising | Maximum | Limited | None! |
| Link protection or indirection | Linkbucks | Adfly | None! |

* Okay, file hosters got the idea first, but let's not mind the small details, shall we?
Premium accounts
Now I understand if you gawk at the idea of having "premium" accounts, but you needn't fret, because we really are better. I want to particularly emphasise that when we say "premium", we really do give a premium experience.
To make becoming premium as painless as possible, we've put our heads together and came up with a solution that works for everyone...
Introducing AnimeToshokƣn (the ƣ character is the latin oi character, not to be confused with the letter a)
Our wonderous new cryptocurrency is paramount to the premium experience - and it isn't just limited to AnimeTosho either! Have limited funds? That's okay, just run the AnimeToshokƣn miner and you too can enjoy the premium experience.
We're currently still working on finalising this, so more details will be available at a later date.
