I'd spent a lot of time here until about a year ago when I got fed up with Asian dramas in général and MDL in particular and deleted my account. I looked the site up a couple of days ago, out of nostalgia and, truth be told, was sickened by the sight of It. It has completely lost its soul.
What bothered me the most with this site is a total lack of transparency! All we know about the site is that it originated in the USA (Denver, Colorado apparently?). But who the owners are and what is their editorial line are completely shrouded in mystery.
Doesn't that bother anyone? The owners and the paid staff are all anonymous ! Who they are and how they work is a bigger secret than the list of CIA spies!
We see the changes brought upon the site, mostly useless but which are driving longtime users away. Multiple feeds, insipid news "articles" Google translated and copy/pasted by "staff writers", games, flowers for actors....etc.etc.
They are a business now not a community and their goal these days is making money not strengthening the fan base. They have become too big to remain people friendly.
And that's a shame!
