[Req] I WANT TO CREAT A FANSUB GROUP

Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 2:48 am Post subject: Post Rating: 0

Having a minority of non-fansubbers, whom are not familiar with the work behind the fansubbing process, criticize the time between releases made by a fansubber or fansub group is a fact of life. But for those comments to come from a fellow (potential?) fansubber was a bit saddening. My comments were harsher than what was called for, but some of the severity in my statement stemmed from the apathy of other fansubbers not calling out BlueMidnightBaroque on that particular comment. I'm just very tired of seeing some of the fansubbers in the group I'm in feel a bit discouraged by those types of comments, so I wanted to bring some attention to that statement.

In the end, it's all about community love. Smile

I'm just not a big fan of comments like that made from a fellow subber, but I agree as well that BlueMidnightBaroque's comments were not made with any ill intent at all, but more from slight misjudgment.

Pauli~ I

you~

Um... what was the topic? (Pauli distracted me.)

Right. Fansubbing groups formed by not just new fansubbers, but people who have never subbed before. That's kind of like uneducated people starting a school. Or having children run the government. Or any sort of organization where the leaders are completely inexperienced in the process. Notice, I said inexperienced, not ignorant... I know that you could have done your research, but factual knowledge is not the same as experience.

I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm just saying it's a risky venture with very bad odds. Go for it if you want, and feel free to ask any questions if you get them. But on the other hand, please do not make judgments about how much better you can fansub until you have something under your belt.

Once you've subbed a series quickly, accurately, and in high quality, then by all means, brag all you want, and advice us on how to get things done better (absolutely no sarcasm there).

Like a moth to a flame I'm drawn back into this thread.

One minor side point before I get started:

hmm... gnoss, maybe you need a widdle Wub

?

^.^

Other than that, I didn't really understand any of your post.

>.>

<.<

But ignorance doesn't bother me unless it's in other people. And yes, I am a hypocrite. (Wait, but saying that makes me not a hypocrite... what a paradox. Well, let's just say I have double standards.)

I'm off to watch all my favorite dramas... with chinese subs! Big Smile

@ ed I'm not love depraved enough to go seeking it on the internet in the form of emoticons just yet. Thanks

@lilpauli You're right, and I've adapted a philosophy that allows you to be right about that 100% of the time.
