It’s been nearly 10 months since The Super Soldiers dissapeared. All that you saw was a placeholder displaying “Something Is Coming…”. The Super Soldiers had fallen.
10 months later, it has resurfaced. One couldn’t truly believe this site would go only one decade and call it a day. Since February 1998, The Super Soldiers has been around. That will not be stopping just yet.
July 2008 marks the return of The Super Soldiers in a new format. Instead of the traditional old and bloated format, we have moved onto a more blog centered format giving you, the users, better interactibility. We still wish to provide you with the best gaming and (at times) anime information possible. Therefore, over time, we will be moving our older content here to be displayed. There are hundreds of articles to be moved so it may take a while. Please bear with us during this transitional period.
Posting of new items will not begin immediately but it will happen very soon. Till then, rest assured that we are back and ready to begin again. In the meantime, we have a special surprise for you in regards to anime. More on that soon.
Edit: 12 hours later, we’re still migrating our old news content. You have probably noticed it appearing below. Please bear with us during this transitional period. In the mean time, The Super Soldiers has reconnected with Otaku Times to bring you Anime news.
Edit 2:A week later, most of the old articles have been imported. This has been a tedious process considering there is no easy methodology of manually importing page upon page of HTML. Please continue to bear with us.
