J-Addicts? A site for Japanese Movies

With D-Addicts not accepting movies anymore I was thinking of doing a spin off site hosted on a totally different server for Japanese Movies.

Chinese movies or more specially Hong Kong movies are available with english subtitles on DVD and most Korean movies also have english subtitles on their DVD plus there's the wonderful FSS site for kmovie BT.

However, Japanese movies with english subtitles are rarer and harder to find. So I was thinking of using D-Addicts code and make it Japanese movies. Since it'll be on a different server with a different domain from D-Addicts it won't affect it at all. Also, since there are less Japanese movies the site probably won't be very big so it won't use up much resources which makes it easy for me to find a cheap host.

So what do you people think, is it worthwhile? Is there enough interest for it?

I would love to see a site for japanese movies, and would be happy to help in any way I can. I have around 14 japanese movies with eng. subs which I will be happy to seed. Smile

A good idea, but i suggest you make the torrents available only to the members. Since registration is open and free it's not much of a restriction.

Also it has to be moderated, otherwise it'll go down the moment some idiot posts Cassern there. I remember somebody already asked for Cassern upload in the shout box.

I think it is cool to share J-movies that haven't been released on DVD outside Japan. But we definitely have to stay away from new releases and high profile movies (those are crap anyway).

I'm confused Unsure

already 2 people have voted against this idea.
If you are interested in this site, of course you will vote in favour - but if you are not interested, this is not a reason to oppose it.

Controls would definitely be more tighter than they are here and since I'm expecting a whole lot less torrents it will be easier to moderate them.

And don't be afraid to vote no if that is your opinion because if I wasn't interested in people's opinion then I wouldn't put the poll up in the first place. Doing this will cost me time and effort so I want to know if its worthwhile.

Hi BT -

A good reason to oppose it would be , for example - that someone may think it could detract from the D-Addicts site. Or that it may arouse the interest of the movie industry.
Merely not being interested is not a reason to oppose.
For example, I am not interested in heavy metal music- but this is not a reason to oppose others setting up a site to share this music.

How about a very moderated site then? Not the usual 20 movies per day upload Glare

Meaning the uploaders would submit the torrents and the mods would go over them, accepting them or not, and releasing in a timely manner.

It would be a good idea to make a J-Addicts !
And the torrents should be monitored tightly by the moderators.

i'm down. i have 50+ japanese movies and will be able to seed/start torrents. if ruroshin decides to make a site, i can run the movies by him before i post any torrents, or send him a list. let me know whats up.

Looking at the trend of previous posted torrents, the number of jmovies are alot less than that of kmovies. Therefore, it will be much more easier to moderate.
100% for this idea!

I'm down too. This idea would be most welcome. I think the registration is probably a good idea, although yes, the smaller number of torrents would make it all aesier to manage

I'm confused.

I went to check on my movie Green Tea and it's gone already. But the korean movies are still there.

So d-addicts is going to keep seeding kmovies or the cleaning staff just hasn't gotten around to killing the kmovie torrents yet?
