==== Asking people ==== | |||
If you must ask people on a forum or IRC for recommendations, it's impossible to give useful answers without knowing what kind of thing you like. First check your [[profile]] to make sure your [[mylist]] and [[votes]] are publicly visible. Then give a link to <code><nowiki>http://anidb.info/u<your_uid_here></nowiki></code> - you can find your uid number in brackets after your nick in your [[myplace]]. This should give people a rough idea of the kind of thing you're after. | If you must ask people on a forum or IRC for recommendations, it's impossible to give useful answers without knowing what kind of thing you like.
