.    Looking Back: The Third Year Period:

    The third year was the year of  "Kawaii GIFs" and the "Image Gallery" was converted to "Kawaii GIF Gallery". The Kawaii GIFs got very popular as reflected by the graphics of the third year and so many kawaii GIFs was made. That period also experienced the continued massive financial & adversting collapse of many dot.com websites and website hosts throughout internet. Many website hosts either start cutting back their services or charging fees, resulting in widespread deaths of so many personal websites both veteran and new. Even Geocites.com and Spaceports.com were not immune. Geocities.com host was left dormant (almost abandoned) and Spaceports.com was already losing its capacity to support the ever-popular TRSE website, hence, the transition to paid Tera-Bytes.com hosting of TRSE website. I also already decided to abandon old "Sailor Energy" as the mascot of the TRSE. As a result of popular demand, How to Draw Tutorials were also added during that period.
   I finally got my first (and very good too) geology & business related job starting at August 2000, resulting in the widely reduced amount of free time I can spend on the website, hence, slower updates. The first two chapters of The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, The Emergence (June 2001) and Sailor Pluto: The Hunger of Famine (Dec. 2002) were posted as well as a Mini-Manga Contest during this period. I also began to read other anime mangas, and Ranma 1/2 was the first manga beside Sailor Moon I had have read. I think that Gundam Wing also first aired on the Cartoon Network greatly boosting the popularity of Anime during that time.
