Now the real questions are why, and for how long. Well, lets answer them:
It is with heavy hearts that we're announcing the retirement of {{u|Kenji-girl}} as Bulbapedia's Head of Anime. Kenji-girl served as our Head of Anime since December 2011, and worked countless hours to shape our anime section to what it is today. While we will miss Kenji-girl's presence on the {{bp|Editorial Board}}, we are very glad that she will be remaining on staff as a {{bp|Bureaucrat}}, and she will still be working closely with the Editorial Board to continue improving Bulbapedia.


'''Why will the wikis be closed?''' - We are closing the site to '''upgrade our servers'''. As many of you are well aware, our site has been running...well pretty badly. Errors abound! We have been upgrading our servers steadily for the past year or two, but the thing is, more of you keep visiting us! This is totally acceptable, but the site is growing so fast we can't keep up! So we are closing the site and doing a big update that will hopefully alleviate the issue.
As the anime section is one of Bulbapedia most active sections, we're happy to announce that a successor to the position has already been chosen. Taking over as our Head of Anime is someone who has been on staff for almost four years now, and has been working on anime-related concerns not only on Bulbapedia, but also the Bulbagarden Forums. Bulbapedia's new Head of Anime is none other than {{u|Pokemaster97}}, congratulations!

'''How long will the wikis be closed?''' - The tentative duration is currently '''{{tt|3 days|Tuesday, August 23, 2011}}''', but anything can happen. We may reopen in two days, we may take four, but three is the goal. '''The site will still be available to view and browse''', but we can't promise it will be running all that smooth until the job is done, so sadly, errors may still happen.
 
After this updates, we hope to take advantage of the new servers and do some updates around the site. Re-organizing some pages and sections, new and updated templates, that sort of stuff. We thank you guys for all your support (even though you destroyed our servers), and we hope that with our updated system we can continue offering all the information you need, and the stuff you don't!

It is with heavy hearts that we're announcing the retirement of Kenji-girl as Bulbapedia's Head of Anime. Kenji-girl served as our Head of Anime since December 2011, and worked countless hours to shape our anime section to what it is today. While we will miss Kenji-girl's presence on the Editorial Board, we are very glad that she will be remaining on staff as a Bureaucrat, and she will still be working closely with the Editorial Board to continue improving Bulbapedia.

As the anime section is one of Bulbapedia most active sections, we're happy to announce that a successor to the position has already been chosen. Taking over as our Head of Anime is someone who has been on staff for almost four years now, and has been working on anime-related concerns not only on Bulbapedia, but also the Bulbagarden Forums. Bulbapedia's new Head of Anime is none other than Pokemaster97, congratulations!
