C.A.W

This is to explain and preserve C.A.W.

It stands for Coolest. Animorphs. Website. And it was run by Giulianna, or "Giuli" for short, an insane, comedicly inclined 12-year-old girl from 1998-2000.

You COULD Access it here: http://web.archive.org/web/20000619192830/http://expage.com/page/cawcoolestanimorphswebsite, but somehow, the Archive.org staff just deleted it from their database, tsk, tsk... What ELSE will those Fuckrats delete from what is SUPPOSED to be a permanent archive?

Her cheap expage site, with only a small number of generic stock images on it, starts off with a "Your Computer has detected something: could it be that it actually LIKES Brooke Nevin?!? Warning: Your Computer will explode in 10...9...8...", and then on the main site, there's an image of Bucky, the Beaver who is the Site Mascot, and below that, is a Garth quote from Wayne's World.

Her site only has aroudn 2/3rds of it operational, even through the Archive, but it has umpteen rants on AniTV, a few Books and Ghostwriters Rants, where she says "even though the Ghostwriters sometimes suck, KA Applegate DOES need them, she's only Human (unlike RL Stine, hehehe...)", a Visser 3/Dr Evil Coomparison, a section of Guest Rants, and accessible even today is an Angelfire description of when she and her friend saw the first episode of AniTV.

She also does rants on the music, which sounds like synthesized cat barf, The lack of Taxxons (What's the point?!? They would only screw them up anyway!), and the Cheezy Hork-Bajir (yeah, they were Cheezy, but at least they were there), and then goes into the five Aniactors below:

Shawn Ashmore (Jake), who she nicknames "Brillo Pad Head"

Brooke Nevin (Rachel), who she refers to as "The Queen of Female Dog Anatomy Parts, the VAMPIRE HERSELF@?!", who not only butchered Book Rachel and turned her into a wuss, but even called herself online Rachelcat8, daring to impersonate her online (Giulianna said "I'd like to get all their emails; - I bet they'd LOVE to hear from me!!!")

Christopher Ralph (Tobias), admittedly better than the other actors, but that isn't saying MUCH...

Nadia Nascimento (Cassie), who was cast because, I hate to make ACCUSATIONS, but maybe, because, she was BLACK?!?

Boris Cabrera (Marco), who looks like the character, but can't act

and she complained of how a sad, generic operatic woman singing "Fly Away" in Episode 14: Tobias could be heard instead of Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away", and said Seaon 2 was Happy ("Have I gone MAD?!?"), explaining it was because a much smaller 6-episode Season 2 signalled AniTV was on it's last legs, and said "I want you all to Tape It. Don't Worry, you don't have to *WATCH* it, but all of you tape it, together we will celebrate the demise of AniTV!"

Giuli, I love you and your site, and your love of Kel Mitchell will also go recorded here, he's on a show called Game Shakers now.

Other things from that site archived here:

-She commented on Hasbro making the Visser 3/Inferno Creature Figure Red ("After all, we want you to be able to tell the difference between Visser 3 and Ax"), Giuli- Folks, they think we are morons.

-"That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!" -Giuli, quoting Colin Quinn

-She had a Guest Section for rant submissions, someone posted something titled "Sailor Quinn fights the netherfjord, or something", who told of how others were rude or some shit to her because of how Sailor Moon was bastardised and turned into a dopey fruitfest in the Americanization.

-Other guest rants included the Wild Thornberries Review, a few more rants on Brooke Nevin, and comments on how the Animorphs books were unfolding.

-There was a GREAT early anti-censorship thing where Giuli shows how the AniTV Message Board on Nick deletes anything remotely intelligent and unpleasant, and she puts up a comment on how they're "Speak Your Mind" thing is BS. I backed this up a few times on various sites.

Here is this Rant against Nick's AOL AniTV AniForum:

The Nick AniTV Message Board

I am sooooooooooo mad...

Say, how many have my fellow AOLers been to the Official AniTV Message Board on the Nickelodeon site, hmm?Well, to those of you who haven't, I warn you: They are cracking down on messages posted by people with working brains.Here  is a post, which I didn't change in any way except to take out the  little > things on the left, copied directly from this board:"Yes Im Visser 4.I dont like going into inicent brains and taking over them.I dont want to be Visser 4. Im Visser 4 for only one reason,beacause I was forced to be the seacond Yeerk in a Andalites brain. My hosts name is Harrggggoonwaxmilie. I am gaurded greatly I beg you all migtey animorphs please give me freedome............................................................"No,  I did NOT make that up or change it in any way.  :::nods::: Sad, isn't  it? Some other kid replied saying, and I quote, "I will free you."  I  replied also, saying "I dunno, I think being Visser 4 requires better  spelling and grammar skills.  But that's just me..." and they deleted  it!!!They seem to be deleting a lot of what I say lately.   That would be true, 'lately', being replaced with 'all the time' and 'a  lot of' being replaced by 'all of' On the Nickelodeon boards no  negative opinions are allowed, except for Winshoes's, for some strange  reason.  Once, I wrote a post saying: "The books are great, but, geez, I  really hate the show."  They deleted it.They claim to  delete only posts that they feel are a danger to the board or insults  another member of the board.  Really, they delete any message with an  objective opinion at all."As you know, these message boards are so YOU can SPEAK YOUR MIND."That  is a direct quote from some NickOp, a person who runs a Nick message  board.  It isn't true.  They WON'T allow you to speak your mind, and  they delete any forms of intelligence on the boards.  THIS is what they  end up with:"Jack got Yeerked!""What happened to Tibias?""Tobias Rachel Belong together you can tell even if he is a  hawk.Who is the first person he wants to see when he  needs anything Rachel thats who! Besides The Romeo & Jewlett thing is more romantic(OK so they don't comitt sewicide in the end & they arn't a prince & princess but there love is forbeten ."Click here which, ironically, (and just as I predicted) got deleted by... them about 5 minutes after it was posted.I hope this has been an enlightening (and maddening) experience for you.You  shouldn't try to bring this up on the boards like I did.  YOUR messages  will just be deleted, too.  I don't know WHAT we can do, if anything.Julie,  from The Animorphs Vortex, might do a rant about this, too.  I hope she  does, cause she can do it sooooo much better than I can!!!

Yes, this was text from her website. Adore it. Savour it.
