id:Gabtraf > If you've lost the inspiration to do what you're currently doing, I think it's good to clear your head and do something that you enjoy. Try something completely different to get your creativity going again. For example, I sometimes like to cook or take a walk when my brain seems to be stuck on something. Also, I don't think there is any reason to feel pressure about the Flipnotes you post. Every time you create something new it makes you stronger, and opens up new possibilities (regardless of what other people think). Making mistakes is a good way to learn your weak points and improve upon them. Over-complexity can be a problem too, and you might want to try to think back about the basic reasons why you like making animation in the first place, and why it makes you happy and then start again from there.

id:Alex128 > If you find any SPAM here please contact support (support at hatena dot com) about it and we'll delete it.

id:folsense > I agree that it's difficult to erase your posted comments. I'll see if we can make it easier, but our main focus of important stuff to do is more related to Flipnotes than comments.

id:Trevor15 > The avatar function of Hatena Coco isn't localized into English yet. I hope we can release it in English soon.

id:teehee200 > Online dating and sexual content isn't allowed on Flipnote Hatena and we do remove those kinds of Flipnotes and comments. Those other types of Flipnotes you mentioned are annoying, but we only remove them if they break the rules. You can make a difference by adding stars to Flipnotes that deserve them and avoiding those "add star" types of Flipnotes.

id:rosman4000 > The platinum badge looks the same and is just a different color. Maybe it appears somewhere in the help section.

id:WiiLuver > We recently released a search engine on Flipnote Hatena (for Nintendo DSi) for the Japanese market, and will try to bring it to all markets if we can.

id:silverpoop > We know about those weird ads and don't like them either. I have contacted our ad serving companies about the issue and they should be gone soon.

id:stickgirl > It may take 24-48 hours for the badge to change.

id:gamester > The correct pronunciation of Hatena is:
"Ha" as in "hat"
"te" as in "ten"
"na" as in "nachos"
I haven't seen "Inchworm Animation" yet -- it looks cool, thanks for posting the link!

id:WiiLuver > Haiku2 has now developed into a few different projects, one of them being Hatena Coco. I'm not sure about the plans to localize it or when/if we will.

id:AnimatoR > Yes, Athena is a nice name too. I should have thought of that :)

id:Alex128 > No, I haven't seen it yet. I guess a good way to tell people about it is just like you're doing here :)

id:tyler8 > Check your messages at m.hatena.com to see if you received notification of your Flipnote Citizen status. Uf you didn't get the message yet, you won't be able to make channels.

id:Orion_789 > I believe the views are calculated everytime the page is opened or the Flipnote is viewed by a unique user.

Hi id:Limelight, your stars should be sent out in the next 24 hours. Sorry for the delay, but I forgot to translate some of the winner message e-mails to languages other than English.

Sorry about the views problem, we are currently fixing it.

id:vinachii > The answer to your question was in the news this week. Please check it out.

id:stickgirl > Please do not report Flipnotes for abusing the spin-off function because they "did not give credit". Please report them only if the other user did not significantly modify your Flipnote. Thanks!

id:ultralaser10 > Yes, you can do that if you are the original creator of the Flipnote. Please be sure to write a clear description of how the Flipnote is abusing the spin-off function.
