The Purpose
For Richer or Poorer is a fansite dedicated to the series by Bisco Hatori - Ouran High School Host Club from Viz's Shojo Beat Manga, otherwise known as Ouran Koukou Host Club in Japan. This is just my little corner of the net for others to enjoy, and I believe it's the first English site to be dedicated to this wonderful little series. I love all the members of the Host Club - everyone is hilarious and their relationships with each other is definitely one of a kind. I just wanted to express my love for the series and the characters through this site.
This site was created (August 11, 2005) before I even knew there would be an anime. The anime hadn't even been announced yet. As such, I'm more focused on the manga, but the anime is also given its fair share of content. ^_^
I have a lot of things up, but hopefully this site will grow with some of your submissions. Please send in fanfiction, fanart, icons, wallpapers, opinions, music videos, etc. It will be great to hear from you guys! Please show your love for the Ouran Host Club!
The Standard Policies/Rules
ALL images on this site were scanned by me, unless otherwise noted. ALL graphics on this site were made by me (obviously though, not the ones by the other creators labeled in the Fanbase section) for this site ALONE. The only images free for use are the ones found in the Fanbase: Gallery section, the screencaps in the individual episode pages, and some miscellaneous images that can be found in the Media section. Please follow the rules stated in the gallery. As for my graphics, you are not - I repeat, NOT - allowed to steal them and use them for your own site, your own graphics, etc etc. You didn't make them. I did. They're not yours. If you alter them, they are still NOT yours. I have plenty of original image resources here for you to make your own graphics from scratch. Please use those instead of stealing from others. Thanks.
See the blacklist of offenders here. I really hated to do this, but it had to be done.
The Name
As for why I named the site For Richer or Poorer, the answer is simple enough. Obviously, for those who noticed, the phrase comes from the words said at wedding ceremonies. That doesn't have anything to do with why I chose that phrase though. ^^;; Differences between the rich and poor is a theme in the manga, which is shown in a light-hearted manner. I just remembered that phrase and it seemed to fit. *shrugs*
Take a look around, and you'll see the fascination that is Ouran High School Host Club.
