 ==History==
-AniDB started off as a project by the group AnimeReactor, whose members believed that it was a tiring business to keep a list in order not to forget which anime series or movies they had already seen/bought. In order to create an universal way of creating a list, they started with AniDB.<br>
+Initially, AniDB was a personal project of AnimeReactor, available only to its members.  The concept spawned from the tiresome task of keeping track of anime series or movies they currently had or previously seen or bought.  Many members kept track of their collections by using spreadsheets or even notepad.  AniDB was the resulting, universal way to keep track of their anime collection.
-Around the end of 2002, AniDB became open for the public instead of a database for the AnimeReactor members only, and it started to florish. Nowadays everyone is able to add missing titles, episodes and other missing information to AniDB in order to make this the perfect database everyone dreamed of.
+Around the end of 2002, AniDB opened to the public.  Instead of being a personal, AnimeReactor member-only database, everyone is now able to freely contribute to AniDB.  By adding missing titles, episodes, and other missing information to AniDB, all users can shape AniDB into the perfect anime information database all anime fans have been searching for.
