Fansubbers vs. their leechers

[katikat]

Why is it okay for fan subbers to indicate that their leechers are dumb but not the other way around? Yes, I'm talking about the whole IRC vs. BT thing at Shinsen's. As much as I like their high quality subs - and I'm eternally grateful for them - I don't like their attitude. Yes, some people can't download via IRC. Others can't stand on their head, sing and juggle at the same time, thank you very much!

Uhh, it took me a few minutes to check shinsen's page but now I see. BT is up now if you want it.

Releasing Black Lagoon as irc only. That's a new one. 'Why you ask? Cause you leechers need to work for your food this time!' (Vincent) or 'BT will, of course, be available in a short while. After seeing this flood I wonder if you ever thought how hard it is to fansub an episode when you're not smart/willing enough to figure out IRC.' (Kaunteya). Mmh, those statements by shinsen's staff members won't help their popularity at all. It's unfair and insulting.

I don't think that's the right thing to do. But in the end it's just a harsher version of their routine of releasing anime. When I get the message from my .rss-feed that they released something new, there're always only a few seeds for BT but it's already up on most of their irc bots. And shame on me: irc that's where I get my anime from. Ever since Ani-Kraze was still releasing Inuyasha.

Uuuu, I'm not up on this conflict, but I have this problem with manga scanslations... most are like "HI GET VIA IRC PLZ" and my connection just won't let IRC downloads through, sigh T___T

Though I got burnt off it back when I was on dialup back when I could handle IRC downloads... I'd be like "*download?*" and they'd be like "LOL NO, YOU'RE ON DIALUP WTF". So yeah.

Well, my connection doesn't like BT much either but it will actually connect, unlike IRC T___T

I think I would be not so hard on subbers, it is their work, they make the subs...their decision where to post it for download and if it is IRC so be it.I am busy person IRC for me is pain in the ass due the time I must spent to find what I want to find.I prefer torrents, quickier.
