Hello, this is Aaron at Hatena in Kyoto, Japan with the latest news about Flipnote Hatena.
This week we saw a large drop in the number of Flipnotes posted about the weekly topic. I understand that many people are sad about Flipnote Hatena closing, and might have lost the motivation to post these days.
I would like to remind everyone that Flipnote Hatena is not over yet! There is still time to have fun here, and we are looking forward to seeing your Flipnotes.
Lastly, I would like to request that members of our community please stop posting petitions and unrelated Flipnotes to the weekly topic channel. Please only post your Flipnotes to channels that are related to the content of your Flipnotes.
Thanks for checking out the news blog, from all of us at Hatena.
