-<p>After Bulbagarden went down in 2001, Chris (the infamous Bulbagarden himself) announced his newest project, Anenga.</p>
+'''Anenga''' was a website created by {{OBP|Anenga|person}}, the creator of [[Bulbagarden]] and whose real name is Chris Kaleiki. The site was created after Bulbagarden went down in 2001.
-<p>Short for "<b>An</b>ime, <b>En</b>tertainment, and <b>Ga</b>mes" (leaving out the other sections: Life, Music, and Technology), exactly what Anenga was to become remains ambiguous today. At first, it was going to be the first product of a propriatary software that he was developing with a friend. It would be a sort of "cool" slashdot with less of a geek focus.</p>
+==History==
+====About the site====
+The name Anenga comes from "'''An'''ime, '''En'''tertainment, and '''Ga'''mes". Little information was released outside of Chris's circle of closest confidants regarding the purpose of the website, and there was much speculation as to what the site would be about. Initially, Anenga was going to be the first product of a proprietary software Chris was developing with a friend, however this changed at some point early in production stages.
-<p>In 2003, the forums were opened to the public and some page demos were shown. Would Anenga finally open after two long years of speculation? Would the BMGf community finally reunite in a new permanent location (we had spent the previous two years desperately holding together in a series of splinter bulliten boards like Water Croc's Crib, Shy Guy's Toy Box, Sakaki's board, and BMGfR)? </p>
+====Inactivity and closing====
+After the first Anenga forums opened in 2002, and following the release of some demo pages, the site appeared to cease development. Chris wasn't heard from for an extended period, and the site was never completed, having been closed later. If it had been launched, the website was intended to become a social news platform using the TikiWiki engine to allow for people to contribute and update news and concept. This idea was later adapted by {{u|Archaic}} for Bulbagarden, and as such the Anenga concept could be considered as the basis for [[Bulbapedia]] and [[Bulbanews]].
-<p>Alas, the answer would be an unsuprising and resounding "no".</p>

-<p>The introduction of tikiwiki changed Anenga's focus considerably. Now it was to be a "media hub." It would become this uber-site with user submitted news, articles, blogs, and more. Months passed without a word from Chris (save for an almost non-existant "demo") and we pretty much lost any hope that we had of ever seeing a completed Anenga.</p>

-<p>Perhaps Anenga became a victim of its own promise? Was Chris too ambitious in his plans for the site? As he became more and more involved in Shareaza, he seemed to lose intrest in Anenga. </p>

-<p>In any case, Anenga seems to have suffered from the same fate as many of his pet projects. The forums are still heavily populated today by many of the most well known (and probably forgotten) faces of the old BMGf. Chris, himself, seems to have completely disappeared from the internet. He pops up from time to time on AIM, perhaps to remind us that he does, in fact, exist.</p>
