Subtitles Requests??? Please Read.

JOEY0211: Asking for where subtitles are is regarded the same as requesting for subtitles since all the available subtitles are very clearly listed on the subtitles page. The only exceptions would be jem's captures, but those are all available at jem's tracker. So if you can't find subs for a series on either of those two pages, then the subs for that probably don't exist.

Also, subtitling isn't just about translations. I'm a translator and I feel quite qualified to say that without the project coordinators, raw providers, timers, typesetters, encoders, and countless other people who also did a great part of making the subs, none of the subs would exist. In short, there are lots of ways you can help without knowing any Korean, and the best way to start would be to join a group and to become a timer.

Actually I don't see that as a request so much as admitting you are being too freaking lazy to look for it yourself.
I know this might be shocking and all to you but if you type "King Sejong English Hardsubbed" into GOOGLE. The link WroW gave you is the first link to pop up. Odds are that's probably how he found it.

People seriously need to relearn of the existence of GOOGLE.

i'm with WroW that i don't see it as a request for subs and if i feel a person is too lazy and should've looked themselves, i pass by that thread and let someone answer it who doesn't mind...
it doesn't always have to be the sledgehammer method... Laugh

I don't know about you....but google is the first thing I turn to when I'm confused or lost about something.

I figured everyone "googles" too...I mean, isn't it ubiquitous?

lol @ groink.

So much drama... but this IS a drama site after all.

btw, I don't know how to program a VCR. >.> ... <.<. Now, give me a tv tuner for my pc and I can do all kinds of captures for you. (Well, that's given that I also have access to the tv station.)

@JOEY0211

I wasn't attacking you and saying that what you did was unacceptable. I was simply interpreting how others might view your post since it was clear there was a miscommunication somewhere. Communication is important in any community, and internet communities are not an exception. So, also, please don't shout at people just because you're a little frustrated. We might be too.

Is it just me, or do people generally have shorter tempers on the internet?

I can program a VCR.... I just don't have one because.... well serious who the hell actually uses one anymore? Unless you are converting file format, that is.

And I think people have shorter tempers online because people are more obviously lazy. A conversation doesn't just go away when people stop talking when it's on a forum like this.
For example in real life when someone asks a question in class you can simply assume they just didn't hear the answer the first time. However, if the teacher wrote the answer on the board and they still asked the question I'm sure most people would start to question their intelligence and/or glasses prescription.

I remember 10 years ago, when I was in elementary school, they would hand us lists of search engines and make us practice using them in computer class. Did they stop doing this? Or did they stop having computer classes?

I think I blame the parental lock down the most. All the software that keeps your kids from actually using the internet, keeps them from... well using the internet. Even without someone teaching you, as long as you don't have hyper ADD you can figure things out. It's not as easy though when your child safety features block everything but disney.com?

Getting back on-track (man did I write a ton earlier)....

Subtitle requests are actually not okay for most of us. It shows a lack of effort on the part of the requester to perform his own searching. When searching, there is a point where you must come to the realization that what you're searching for just doesn't exist. If you explain the process you went through that brought you to the point where you MUST ask, then we wouldn't have a problem with the request. But just posting the request without demonstrating some prior effort on you part doesn't sit well with the rest of us. This is even explained in the Usenet netiquette FAQ - where asking questions without demonstrating prior research is a really bad thing to do.

^maybe I got off lucky with the parental lockdown.

I never had to worry about browsing the internet and having my parents breathe down my neck or supervise which sites I can or can't log in.

What was I doing 10 years ago? Ah, I remember...it was the days when I still used those "free" internet providers that occupied my landline....ummm, 56K I think? or was it slower then? I don't remember. All I remember was that every time someone called in, my connection would break and I ended up disabling my call waiting.

Remember AOL? yea, I remember we had to pay for AOL service that cost probably as much as DSL costs today and still uses the landline 56K modem.

the internet has come a long way....using the internet 10 years ago meant meeting strangers on AOL chatrooms and checking spam mail before filters were created. And those were the days when emails were actually interesting and a person would actually enjoy spending hours writing one instead of these 30-second messages and replies one gets these days.

Programming a VCR? Sure I can....in fact, I still use one to this very day (I feed my TVB addiction by renting cassette tapes from a rental shop near my old house). If you ask me, I rather record and tape something using a VCR than a DVD recorder. Heck, I don't even have a DVD recorder.
