Aaryanna_Mom

Aaryanna_Mom first took an interest in OtakuBoards when her daughter became a moderator on 03-07-06. Initially she only read the posts and kept an eye on the boards out of a parental concern for her daughter’s online activities.  Just over three months later Aaryanna persuaded her to join on 06-15-2006, as she was sure she would like it.  And so she did, participating in many of the discussions.

Aaryanna_Mom also showed an interest in the welfare of the boards when she started the thread: Community Events Suggestion in the suggestion and feed back part of the boards clearly showing a genuine interest in the community as a whole.

She quickly became well-liked, as Desbreko put it in the Nifty Fifty event: 

“As cool as it is just to have a member’s mother join OtakuBoards and become an active poster, Aaryanna_Mom also adds new insight or a new point of view to many threads she posts in. It’s apparent that she can see more than one side of an issue, and though she speaks her mind and stands behind her beliefs, she always argues in a non-abrasive way. Even if you don’t agree with her, it’s hard not to like her.”

Aaryanna_Mom is mostly seen around the boards in the Arena area participating in the various RPGs as well as participating in some of the more general discussions in the Otaku Lounge.

On May 31st, 2007, Aaryanna_Mom started a new attempt at establishing an official OtakuBoards newspaper, which would be called The Otaku Times.  The first issue launched July 3rd, 2007.  The second issue was released on August 9th, 2007.  The Otaku Times has earned acclaim by a handful of members and has even earned an official announcement for each issue, however reception from the community has been fairly lowkey, with each issue receiving scant feedback.
