I have yet to work with the fansub team but from my translating experiences, it's really hard to do it continuously for months. I've translated a lot of winner's interviews for past few months and then I needed a break. There's just too much going on in my life right now. This is the same for all fansub members. For everyone in the fansub team to do these things over months of time, it takes a lot of perseverance and motivation. In addition, people like Roffles do other things around the community as well, so it's not like they've given up. No one should be blaming him or even anyone in the team. They're doing their best by giving up their time for the TL community, which includes all the haters and flamers. Please don't give them crap anymore. It takes a great deal of effort and determination to even begin doing all these things and they've already come a long way.

It is the right of those people to release the episode anytime they want. It seems to me that a lot of younger members of TL takes translations/subbing/streaming for granted. Because most of the time people like Roffles/Mystlord/Lyriene/l10f and many many others do the streaming translations on time or immediately after the games some people forgot that it is due to their courtesy.

I remember the times when daum was my only option, it was laggy as hell and i wasted nights trying to follow a slide shows. Similarily, interviews were done rarely and they were real treats for people like me.

People get impatient and start demanding these things these days. Seems like someone should remind those people that they should be thankful for what they get as noone pays anyone for what they do for TL.

I am actually going to agree with Cel here, for a couple of reasons. This thread seems to have become a way for people to ventilate. Kissing ass and bashing people who "approach the subbers" in a less mannered tone is hardly better than people letting you guys know that they are dissapointed in the delays (nicely put).

How shall I put this... you create a demand so to speak with great subbing (it really is) of a great show. Screw that hyung joon bullshit. This is entertaining to gamers who play at a higher level.

I believe what`s frustrating certain people is the amount it takes.. obviously most of us are completely fucking clueless as to what goes into subbing, the different steps etc. (yes I know you clarified them in an earlier post) We are however used to fansubs being out shortly after the release and all this talk about a bad raw making you not want to sub the episode as soon as possible, it almost made it seem like you had it finished, got a better raw and decided to encode the thing again, then ran into troubles which in turn caused further delays. If the problem was the 50 seconds of a 36 minute episode, then I think I speak for everyone in this thread when I say that we`d rather get the "flawed raw" with the -50 seconds cut off.

The people whining and asking for ETAs and updates on the sub is merely a sign of how fucking great the show and your work is, creating such a demand is impressing by itself.

Thanks

Even if it's a "sign of how fucking great the show and your work is", I think it's a good thing if you just sit and relax if the subbers are saying they're running into problems. No need to keep complaining here and asking for it over and over and causing a scene. I too love the show very much, but if they're having problems, there's nothing I can do, for I can't translate/time/encode it myself. So what do I do? I go do other things like...play starcraft, for example. I watch a different series, I go have fun with my friends, I don't know, anything but coming here every 2 hours to bitch and whine. It's not like they gave up on it, it's gonna come out eventually. In the meanwhile, go do something else with your time.

I belive that is not righ just to bash those demanding people. People get used to services that are free and will be always have some kind of negative reaction to not getting them. They <rage> but what can they do to compensate? Nothing! So I belive fair and square would be to establish PayPal account for donations. Then people could not only <rage> but also thank properly.
