Welcome!
Welcome to The Amazing Ham-Ham Gang (aka AHHG)! As you may or may not know, this site is officially dead. =( I've had many great memories, and also have a few bad ones when I, Alice, was turning this site into what it is like today. It's sad to see it go, but AHHG will still stay up for as long as it can. I've also made many new friends, made many fans, and learned many new things. My Hamtaro addiction grew and shrunk, grew and shrunk, until one day, it died. I still will never forget AHHG and my love for the Hamtaro show. Thank you all for helping me make this site. Even though if you didn't do anything to contribute to my beloved site, I thank you for coming here even after it is dead.

I don't think I will update anymore, but who knows? I might have the urge to update once in a while.

All over the site, the site's e-mail address (ahhg123@hotmail.com) is shown. I suggest do not e-mail anything to that address. It's dead, and there's no point if the site is also dead. BUT, I, Alice, will still be around. Maybe I will even drop by here and chat on the tagboard. Anyway, you can still contact me. I probably will use my e-mail address forever. And I probably will keep my YouTube account for some time. I do not go on MSN or AIM, anymore.

E-mail address: alicechan_1010@hotmail.com
YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Sandymaxy

Before I say my good-bye, I want you all to watch Kitty_Ham's video called Tribute to AHHG. When I watch it, it makes me sad, but happy at the same time. I hope it touches your heart, as well.

I rather not make this official good-bye long, so bye-q, AHHG and all my friends! I will never forget you!

If you want to give your good-byes or comments to AHHG and/or me, feel free to type in your message below.

~Alice, the webmistress of AHHG

AHHG a little less interactive?
Uh... Yeah, after all the reports and all the negative posts/comments/drawings on the tagboard, drawing board and the comment thing above, I delete the Drawing Board page and the tagboard from the site. Not only is it because they were getting out of hand, I don't really need them anymore. I suggest going to other sites to spam all you want, and not on this dead site where it's a nuisance to people, such as myself.

For the other people who were trying to calm down the negative comments, I suggest ignoring them instead of replying and making things worse.

Really, I couldn't care less about the spam, but other people do. The comments above are for thanking AHHG and myself, and not chatting. I need to keep it for memories, that's why I won't delete it. But I will delete all the unneccessary comments.

That's it for now.

Another Update By Yours Truly
Yes, another update. It's funny. I come here more often than did before the Official Good-bye update. I probably will update once a month, but that's not likely. Anyway, as you can see, the new layout is up! Thanks Lilly for all the things you've made the site. I really appreciate it. Without graphic artists, like you, AHHG would be ugly looking.

This is probably the LAST layout AHHG will ever have. Version 11.0: Rainbow of Memories. It symbolizes all the great memories we've all had when AHHG was alive and active. :D It's kind of sad to think about it, though... but I will always treasure those memories. Website making is fun, and that past-time helped me get through the early stages of teenage life, just like the Hamtaro show. I wonder when I will get a new avatar. It's not like I need a new one, but the trend I have is getting a new avatar when I get a new layout. XD

Besides the new layout, I also have a couple of other things that I added.

  • Coloring Pages: added 3 new coloring pages by Blossom-Chan (it's been a long time since I updated that page; no one really makes coloring pages XD)
  • Affiliates:
    • Ham-Ham Friends (by Kitty_Ham)
    • Fixed the Ribbon-chan's Butterflies link (by Hiroko-chan)

That's all for now. And happy late Valentine's. And no, I don't have a boyfriend, yet. lol Not really interested.

EDIT: Added a button for the Ribbon-chan's Butterflies site!

Quick Update
I'm doing well, everyone. It's my last year of high school and it's really getting to me. Marks, graduating and all. It's really stressing. I don't really feel like I'm almost an adult, yet. Hopefully, I will soon. Probably at University I will get used to being older. Really. I don't want to grow up. lol Becoming an adult seems so scary... all the responsilities. D:

Anyway, I'm hoping to get one more layout for AHHG. Lilly is gonna make it, but I don't know how she is doing. Hopefully, it will reflect all the times AHHG was still alive and all the memories I have from my experience as a webmistress at AHHG.

My quick updating is:

  • Past Months: added current layout/avatar
  • Affiliates:
    • New affiliate - Ribbon-chan's Butterflies (by Hiroko-chan) and Hamtaro Friends Forever (by Sunset)
    • Transferred some affiliates from the Active to the Non-Active section

It's really sad to see more and more Hamtaro sites dying. I guess other webmasters/webmistresses had the same thought as me thinking that you can't keep up a site forever, especially if you don't have any motivation. But all good things must come to an end. It's a sad thought, but that's life. =/ I don't know if AHHG will ever get more affiliates, since it is dead and all. So please don't e-mail to become affiliates.

And if you still see ads, I suggest deleting your Cookies. Tools >> Internet Options >> General >> Browsing History >> Delete... >> Delete Cookies.

Anyway, that's it for now. I don't know when I will be "updating" again, but do check back once in a while. And thanks for commenting above. I really do appreciate it, knowing that there are people who missed AHHG as much as I do. I've read them all so far, so I will still be checking back. :D

Farewell, AHHG! (The Offical Good-bye Update)
Yes, I have a 2 other good-bye updates in the past, but this is probably the official last one I will do... unless I decide to continue with my site, which is probably not going to happen. My obsession with the Hamtaro show has died a long time ago, but I do not hate it. Recently, I saw a few episodes and the movies for fun. Hamtaro is still in my heart, and I will never forget that. Anyway, I already did my good-bye speech in the section before the updates, so I'm just gonna go straight to the update.
  • updated the index page (took out sound and Ham-Ham of the Month)
  • updated the Main Updates page with a good-bye speech, ratings & comments, and an AMV
  • updated the whole site by taking away the anti-right-click and anti-select thingies
  • updated the About Me page
  • updated the FAQ page (added one question at the beginning, and edited a few others)
  • updated the Quizzes page (some of the quizzes died)
  • deleted the Plug Your Site page (because it died)
  • updated the Music Videos page with a new AMV that I have forgotten to post for 6 months! D: (Tribute to AHHG - by Kitty_Ham)
  • updated the Watch Episodes page with new episodes
    Just Raw File
    • #134 Laugh, Hillary!
    New Episodes with RAW and Quick Download
    • #131 Happy New Year, Ham-Hams!
    • #132 Bijou's Storybook
    • #133 Knitting Barette
    • #135 Sick Hamtaro
    • #136 Go, Stan, Go!
    • #137 Hamtaro is Lost
    • #138 Pepper's Cute China Dolls
    • #139 Melissa, Tell Us a Story
    • #140 Happy Ukii
    • #141 Someone Likes Hamtaro
    • #142 Cherry Blossoms, Please, Fall
    • #143 The Three Hambini Brothers

That's it. I probably will edit this update in the near future, because I don't think I'm done editing the site for it's official slumber. Also, one of the RAW Files aren't uploading for some reason. I've tried uploading it 5 times, but it stops uploading right before it's finishes. >.> So you just have to wait until I do edit this update saying that it's finally up.

Edit: I told you I will update soon. ;D I finally got the RAW File that I had trouble uploading. It was episode #138 Pepper's Cute China Dolls. So, NOW, I am officially down posting all the Cantonese episodes I have. I hope you enjoy them! I put lots of effort into getting them on the site, like you wouldn't know it. ;D

~Alice, January 3, 2009 @ 3:27AM

New Episodes
Why do I always change my mind? Just yesterday, I said I wasn't going to update... maybe. And now I am updating with new episodes? What's wrong with me? >.> I can't make up my mind. lol It's one of those things. I had the urge to update. Anyway... I might add the rest of my episodes. I feel so greedy if I don't share them. So here is my Christmas present to you.
  • RAW Files: #125 Clumsy Nin-ham, #126 Sweet Flora, #127 Brandy, the Rescue Dog, #128 Sparkle's Crush, #130 Harmony
  • DAT Files: #122 There's Really a Wolf!, #123 What Will Happen to the Clubhouse?, #124 Mother Nature in Autumn
  • Subbed File: #149 Sparkle Goes Crazy (first few minutes)

The DAT files are actually the RAW files that I wasn't been able to change to WMV, like all my other videos. The video and the music always get out of sync, so I had to upload the DAT files instead. They work in Windows Media Player. And the subbed file was in my computer for a long time, and I wasn't been able to finish subbing it due to laziness and the feeling that I can't sub the rest. Be happy that I uploaded what I subbed. :D

Who knows when I will update the site, again? Don't keep your hopes up and don't lose the hope. I probably won't upload any more fan-stuff or whatnot, just episodes, since they ARE the most important in my eyes. Well, that's all for now. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ^_^

Edit: I also made it easier to tell which files are available by adding a line across the ones that are not available. The colour of the links is almost the same as the text colour. I can't decided what colour to change them. >.> So that's why I made a line.

Edit x2: I edited the link colour. I hope it looks nicer. lol

Edit x3: I also added the Quick Download and the picture of episode #130 Harmony. :D And now I'm trying to re-upload some of the episodes that don't work.

Edit x4: There were 2 links in the Watch Episodes page that didn't work for some reason. But no matter, I got them fixed. :D

~Alice, December 25, 2008 @ 11:00PM

Last Update Forever...? Maybe
What is this? An update after about a half of year? And what's that? Last update? Maybe?

Anyway, before I start my "speech", Hammy Christmas, everyone! Or whatever you celebrate. ^_^

Okay, let's get this over with. lol The site is officially dead... maybe. I don't know. I don't know how to predict the future. XD I have moved on with life now. I'm 17 currently, and is starting to find out my place in this huge world. Who knows what will happen to me? Anyway, I have never forgotten about AHHG or Hamtaro. I do pop by here now and then, but never thought of updating... I'm not planning to update AHHG anymore, so don't bother me and don't e-mail the site. You can still e-mail ME, though. >>alicechan_1010@hotmail.com<< I check my mail frequently. But I'm babbling here. I can't keep my thoughts straight. XD

Hamtaro and AHHG was part of my early teenager life, and I will never forget that. All of this shaped me who I am today. Maybe website making will become my career... or not.

Today, I updated the site a bit. I fixed the typo in the title and edited the colours in the scrollbar. Same with the text... I'm starting to lose my HTML abilities. ^^; It's been a while. I use the computer everyday, but I don't make websites anymore. Anyway, this is my last update for this year. I don't know when I will be updating, so don't bother me. It's tough to take care of a site, especially one this big. So no more episodes. Go to Ham-Ham Paradise for English ones. Google it or whatever.

And to all my friends, sorry that I haven't shown my face... or my typing? I have moved on, made new friends of other interests and have changed in personality and in looks. But I will always treasure you guys in my heart. :D I wish you the best for the rest of your life.

And about the Hamtaro show, it's tough to keep the fandom alive when one by one, people stop fandom-ing over it. (lol Is that I word? Maybe "fanning" is a better word? XD) The world has moved on, as am I, so don't keep your hopes up that Hamtaro will come back. But never lose that hope either.

So to all, good-bye and hammy days. ^_^ (Hammy days? XD)

~Alice, December 24, 2008 @ 7:00PM

Wha-?
Haha! I know! It's weird that I'm updating again, like before. I forgot to mention that I got a new avatar. Crazy Diamond made it at the forum for me. :D

Anyway, I just updated the Watch Episodes page again. This time, I only have the Quick Downloads. The new converter I'm using will give me good quality, but the sizes are like 400MB. O.o If I go any lower, the quality will be bad. It might have to do, though. These are the new episodes.

  • #125 Clumsy Nin-ham
  • #126 Sweet Flora
  • #127 Brandy, the Rescue Dog
  • #128 Sparkle's Crush
  • #129 Mimi's Christmas (I didn't have the quick download before)

Hopefully, you will appreciate the effort I've done. Copying, converting, shrinking, uploading them makes my computer slow for the time I'm doing all that. So yeah... It bothers me, but it's all worth it for my visitors who still come here. :D It's passed midnight, I should be going to sleep. I have tutor to do in the morning...

~Alice, August 17, 2008 @ 1:29AM

Again? An update?
Yes. This time, it IS an update. =o I was multitasking today with the Fogu forum (which was going a little wild, probably because of me and my craziness) and getting the RAW files of the episodes.

I know what you are thinking? "Episodes?" Yes. I just posted the RAW Files of each episode that I have up in the Cantonese episode, so feel free to use them for your AMVs. :D Yeah, some of the files are over 100MB, but others (the ones I posted earlier when I was still updating my site), are like 30MB or so. There is no watermark, just plain episode. ^^ Yeah. Took me forever to upload them all.

Right now, I'm still trying to figure out why I can't convert the rest of the episodes I have. My program, Super, is not working. -_- *sighs* I need to keep trying, for you guys.

About the English episodes, I barely have any of the 2nd season. So yeah. I probably won't post any up, after all. Anyway, my fingers are tired from a long day of going on a posting frenzy and updating the website. It's been so long since I updated, that I am tired now. lol Oh well. See ya laters!

Edit: =o Yeah, my first edit. I forgot to forgot to metion that I also uploaded a new episode that I never posted before, episode #129 "Mimi's Christmas". But it's only the RAW file. Enjoy!

~Alice, August 14, 2008 @ 7:32PM

What's this? An update?
Kind of. After posting the huge update below, I found my online friends again. :D I joined their secret forum, and talked to a number of my friends. I found Moocow again, when she e-mailed me. So much has happened since my last "update".

What? Are you asking me if I'm updating again? Well, after some thought, I decided to fix up the Watch Episodes page. I re-uploaded the Cantonese episodes, and now trying to get the rest up. I feel selfish if I don't share all my episodes with you. I took down the English ones because HHP already have most of them up. If you request an English episode that I have that HHP doesn't have, I might reconcider posting it. Request on the comments thing.

No, I don't think I will be getting the site back up. It was a weak moment of mine to update after for so many months. This site is my baby, and leaving it is hard. You should know that. Ugh. I feel like I'm going to say everything again in my other "update". Well, anyway... Yeah. I need to get the Watch Episodes page to its former beauty.

About the tagboard and drawing board, please follow the rules. Really, are you that immature that you have to hurt other people's feelings?

Oh yeah, the site will be up as long as Freewebs doesn't close my account. So I'm not taken the site down. It will still be up but not running. I took out the Premium thing, so that's why ads are popping up. Ugh. Anyway, just want to inform you about my update.

~Alice, August 11, 2008 @ 2:52PM

OMG! It's a-me!
I bet all of you are either thinking "HUH!?" or "OMG!". What? You don't know who I am. Let me introduce myself: My name is Alice, and I used to run this site (AHHG). Sound familiar? I haven't been here for months, so probably you have forgotten about me. Yeah... Before I get your hopes up, please continue reading. Oh, the layout has changed. Who would of thought that someone would actually change it. Thanks Yuki and Lilly (even though I don't think I know you).

To answer your questions that you probably have: No, I am NOT going to keep on running AHHG anymore. And yes, the site is officially DEAD. It wasn't dead before, but now I have announced it, AHHG is dead. I know, I sound blunt, right? And I sound like I'm not the Alice that you've probably known. Well, I guessed I've changed. I just finished grade 11, and now almost finished summer school. An exam is coming my way on Friday.

Why am I here again? Well, I'm still a computer nerd, and I have found a NEW interest. Harvest Moon. Yes, I said it. The farming RPG game. Currently, I'm playing Harvest Moon DS Cute on an emulator. I've been interested in emulators for a long time, so that made me like Harvest Moon today. Oh, yeah. Why am I here? I just stumbled across an update to a site I usually go for my HM needs, and saw that a new Hamtaro game is coming in ENGLISH! Yes, you probably heard of this. The Hamtaro Challenge Haai game that I made a small walkthrough thingy on this site. I have downloaded the ROM and played it. I actually like the Japanese one better, because of their voices. I was hoping they would have the English voices. The game is a little kiddish, but I played it, nonetheless. It was a blast, except the fact it wouldn't save. -_- I've decided to post a download link for you to play on the Hamtaro Games page, or whatever it's called. It's been so long, I don't know how to navigate my OWN site. Haha.

Anyway, here is my long speech: As you know, Moocow's site "Hamuchan Sparkle" is also dead. After I read HER speech, I totally felt the same way as her. I agree that the golden age of Hamtaro is over, and it's been so long since the last episode was aired in the US and Canada, plus in Japan too. If you are mad at me for giving up, well don't be. It takes a lot of will power to keep a site up, and I think I did that kind of well at first. I was madly in love with the show, but after a while, I lost some interests. After coming back to the site, and leaving, and coming back again, it just gets so silly to me. Or not. I don't know how to say this, but I think I have lost my love for the Hamtaro show. =o Actually, it's not a surprise. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

I've loved the show since the beginning of 2004. The site started on this same day, August 8 on 2004. It's now 4 years later. Wow, my beginning teenagerhood was about Hamtaro. :D Sometimes I think I wasted my childhood and teenagerhood (is that even a word?), but Hamtaro made my life more fun. I would NEVER EVER forget about Hamtaro. It shaped the way who I am now, and it created an interest in website making. I'm thinking about getting a career about computers, and have seen what is like to be one... well, kind of. lol Who would of thought I would maybe become a website designer or a programmer? Actually, I'm still searching for that one job I want. But it's there in my mind.

Hmm... What to say. I was running over this update in my mind a few times, and now that I'm typing it up, it's not going exactly the way I want. I'm just rambling on and on. Well, yeah. Anyway, if you DO want to contact me, I'm still around. No, I'm not dead. lol Maybe that is what you were thinking when I disappeared for so long. Oh yeah. I'm still on YouTube posting clips of my Harvest Moon games. And I still have my original e-mail address: alicechan_1010@hotmail.com. I would love to chat with my fellow friends of Hamtaro that I once befriended. Just don't e-mail the site, because I haven't logged on to it for a long time, so it probably is dead. I'm also hanging around on another forum. http://www.fogu.com/hmforum I'm sandy_ham there. Just like the site's username.

Let's see... Well, I've seen Mimitchi's site is still up and going. That is quite a feat, Mimitchi. I'm so proud of you, but all sites end the same way: they die. But I hope it keeps on going for some time.

Oh, today is Hamtaro's and Cappy's birthday. Not only that, it's the site's birthday if you hadn't noticed earlier. It's 4 now, but it's getting old and sick. It's going to die soon. My site is still up, though. I need to get rid of the premium thing on Freewebs so AHHG will disappear. AHHG is old and need to rest in peace. Sites can't go for that long, especially when its parent(s) are ignoring it. (Yeah, I'm the parent) I'm still rambling on. I really need to get to the point. I decided to post this last update from me on the birthday of the site. I think that's significant. I was roaming around my site and a few other Hamtaro sites a couple of days ago.

Yeah, I need to end this quick. I will always love AHHG. It's my baby and I've worked on it quite a lot. I made many great friends and it was fun talking about Hamtaro with them. :D I probably might pop back once in a while, but would never update or talk to anyone on the chatboard. What happened to AHHG Town? Did someone hacked into it? Oh, well. I didn't spent that much time on it when it got busy. I liked it when it was quiet.

Hmmm... What else? If Hamtaro ever comes back, I'm not sure if I will too. That new Hamtaro game coming out doesn't seem like it will make Hamtaro come back. But we can never lose hope right? I still have all those Hamtaro episodes that I wanted to post up, but as Moocow said, the lack of Hamtaro interest, pushed me back. I'm sorry all. I wished I still had the fire to keep this site going, but I can't. A human can do so much without getting bored. So all the episodes that are dead will not come back. I might e-mail Mimitchi and give them the episodes instead... Just don't get your hopes up.

Oh yeah. If you still talk to your friends about Hamtaro, and you and your friends go to AHHG, tell them to read this update. Actually, it's not an update. Mostly a good-bye thing. ;_;

I'm going to my last year of high school, and my birthday is also coming up. I didn't know my teenage life would go by so fast. So if you are still young, treasure every year. Life would just blow by quickly if you don't live day to day. Ugh... Why am I talking like this?

I need to end this. Now. Well, I don't know what to say now. Just keep coming to this site before I officially close it down. I don't need my mom to pay for this anymore. But even though it is physically gone, remember that it's still emotionally and mentally with you. :D

I love AHHG and the ham-hams, but especially love my fans, friends and visitors.

Disappointing

I can't believe how Some of you acted.
If you don't like it here, don't flame, go somewhere else. I really don't care
if your an adult or whatever, if so your acting very immature so stop
Don't post all your hate about this and how you can't post rude, immature comments
through the comments.
Do not post your hate on the tag board, or you will be banned.
There is no reason for this! This site is for kids, if you don't like it, It's not for you!
We did nothing to you, so leave AHHG in peace! Sorry I had to take it away, but I'll put it back on when I think It's okay. -Kiyoko
