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!

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

What I don't like about IRC are the slots, the waiting the complicated searching for what you want, the channels and the fact that you are kicked out by the community every time you do something wrong. I very much prefer BT *nods*

That too, that too T___T I mean, I assume I can't get IRC downloads because whenever I've been on IRC and tried to get files from my friends they've never worked, but... I don't really dare actually go onto the subber/scanslator channels to try actually getting files because I'm worried I'll do something stupid and get booted out for it x_X

Exactly. The commands are so complicated that you have to copy and past them and it's enough when you miss one space and you end up in the chat room and everybody is like "get out, you bitch". I have enough stress in my life as it is, thank you X(
