Is it true about what happened to the guys over at Kaizoku-Fansubs? Are they really through with the episodes, or are they just doing this to shut up the people who constantly ask about the next episode? I was very sad when I heard about this and I just wanted to know if it's true or not. I hope that this thread doesn't affend anyone over there at K|F, and, if it does, please to delete it immediately.
K-F FBI Hoax

-
whats kf is ending?! :(
-
Why would they? They've got stuff going on in their lifes. Some of the members there have jobs and are in college so it's only natural that stuff like that slows them down.
-
oh i know that i thought they were ending for good as in aka the werent subiing anymore
-
So they are not subbing anymore?
-
Oh for goodness sake, no. It's not unusual for their servers to have trouble. Don't assume for some outlandish reason they're shutting down just because the site is having difficulties. And like dythim would say, don't go asking a site that has nothing to do with K-F. :laugh:
Although in this case I actually have attempted to find out the problem through the IRC channel and I haven't heard anything. All I know is the forum has been having trouble for some time. -
They said that the FBI told them to stop subbing. Sorry to be so blunt about it, but I'm concerned for all of the One Piece fans out there. Also, I didn't want to ask over there, becaause I didn't know how they would react to it.
-
Oh yeah right. I don't believe that. Who is "they" that said this exactly?
-

The website works fine, where do you hear this? I have no idea what this is about.
-
Dythim posted it in a thread when someone asked about the new episodes. The website and the froums still work, but that's not what I'm concerned about.
-
If they decided to stop, I'm sure they would post something on their website or at least on their IRC channel. They might be having computer troubles, that's all, or they might be really busy. I want the next episode now, but they have had episode droughts for a while before, and I'm sure theyll have them again.
-
Hm, dythim said so? Well if that's true, then, suck. The forums don't work very well for me, actually. I can only access certain threads.
-
Yeah, the forums have been acting up lately.
-
Plz consider that fansubbers also have a life. They also like to have vacation. I.e. if I'm gonna go to japan for some weeks, I'd like to spend all my time in that beautiful country w/o thinking of any fansub work. But I'll announce when that happens.
Just a reminder: ppl usually announce it if they're gonna quit fansubbing. So there's no need to ask this question.
-
Okay, as long as they won't stop. Thanks for the help! I'm so relieved now that I know this was all not true!
-
Well, I am curious to know exactly what was said that gave you this impression. Hopefully someone from K-F can clear it up.
-
Yeah, I was hoping the same thing. Maybe Dythim will come across this thread and clear things up for us.
-
Well if they stop its not gonna be that big of a deal. They just need to fill this 40 episode gap and then it will be up to where other groups have started.
-
That's true. I'm waiting until episode 200 from them, then I'll switch over. If they keep going after that, thern I'll most likey just stick with them.
-
I heard this too, someone sent me an email saying that the FBI came to the subbers houses and stuff O_O
I can't find anywhere on the site where it says that though and im sure they'd say so on an update to their site if it were true.
I hope it's not true >.> -
I'm moving this to the KF subforum and if it turns out to be false it'll be closed, hope someone can confirm this soon but I have my doubts.
-

That sounded a bit rude. It´s as if you only care for them as long they are of any use to you and if they are not anymore then you couldn´t care less.
Well I for one really appreciate their work and the effort and time they stick into the fansubs. And if I was the one to decide I would like to see them sub all of the anime episodes. This doesn´t go against any other fangroup (especially not against Gerusama who´s fansubs I also appreciate).
The thing is just that I´m emontionally attached to the K-F versions and therefore don´t just want them to fill any "gab". Their subs mean much to me at least.
-
Well, everyone in the IRC channels tells me it's a false rumor, so unless I hear otherwise, I'll assume it is.
Besides, the FBI has much better things to do than visit fansubbers homes, that sounds like a load of baloney to me. :P -

He said if they don't stop he'd stick with them, implying he really liked their subs more than other groups.
And I was just saying if they stopped now, there wouldn't be that many episode left unsubbed.
-
I really hope dythim joins in here fast. Not because I´m worried whether or not the rumor is true or false but because I know what kind of discussion such kind of rumors can start.

Oh, didn´t catch that second sentence of his statement. Well I stand corrected and consider my statement above as useless now. Thanks for making me look twice Matt, though it obviously was too late.
-
I agree, I might just close this soon, I'll check on IRC like CosmicDebris said.
EDIT: Yeah it seems everythings cool, I'll close this unless anything else comes up.

add the h-t-t-p
part… apparently if I add it myself it won't let me post -
It didn't work because there was a slash left out: http://www.kaizoku-fansubs.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7002&forum=3
And having read this, I can tell that it's so obviously a joke. :P
-
I KNOW! ANd I've been trying to post it for 10 minutes to show you guys XD
this thing wont' let me post links for some reason.let me try once more
Edit:
IT'S A MIRACLE! -
Jeez, even my post came out wrong, and now it won't let me edit it. I've been having all kinds of wierd trouble with this forum lately.
Heh, I knew it wasn't true. I can't believe people are so gullible.
-
Well I wanted everyone to know where that came from. I was like WTF when I read the email… Im sure if it were true, we'd have heard about it with a bigger news source. Like I think dythium would post it on the main page or something.
I don't care if KF takes their time or takes a break, especially now that I'm on Gerusama's subs XD
-

-

I'll do this now.
THIS IS A JOKE! THE FBI IS NOT AFTER KF!
-
sigh….Lero...it's a joke. It's not true. :rolleyes:
Fansubbing is illegal...but it's not something that's really enforced.
-
oh well thanks anyway.
-
Hmm, I definatly locked this earlier…its fake people, like Katana Jon said.

The events leading up to this … tragic event ... are as follows:
Stewpid newb posted this:

Note: Posted after 161 was released.He, being the naturally inquisitive and obviously well-informed newb that he is, asked the obvious question, to which I replied:
http://www.kaizoku-fansubs.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7002&forum=3And I'll simply invoke this same response every time I want someone to shut up >___>
I also got three private messages saying "I'm not being scared or stupid or anything, but were you serious!?"
…to which I didn't replySo, congratulations to all the people on forums who are not idiots. :laugh:
You have solved the mystery and you get Scooby Snacks. But next time you won't be so lucky, Gadget... Next time... :rawr: -
When you get sent moronic PMs, the BEST thing to do is to reply with possibly logical nonsense.
I did and got a 100+ page topic out of it.
Aint that a kick in the head? -
And I'll simply invoke this same response every time I want someone to shut up >___>
Hey dythim can I use the FBI thing whenever some idiot tries to post about the next release in K-F forums.
-
Nah, AP rules are stricter. No requesting from any group. So the threads should be deleted.
But on K-F forums, go for it. ;)
-
How can ANYONE be so gullible?
-
Good thing I wasn't gullible enough to fall for that. However, if it was something along the lines of the HK subbers trying to 'thin out' the competition, I'd think that it be more beliveable…
-

How would it thin out the competition? K-F are the only group I know of based in the USA. Balf and Gerusama are in Europe, where USA copyright laws don't apply. The only group that could have legal action taken against for violating the 4kids useage lic. or OP lic under US law, are K-F. Or at least the only group that lawsuits would have much luck in actually getting them to court. Seeing as they also run fileservers with the lic. material from edu accounts in the USA.
Bittorrent usage in most European countrys are not as strict as the USA. Take The Pirates Bay as a prime example. Go read the legal threats they get about the hosting LIC. BT torrents and their respounces to them. It's actually quite a funny read.

Wow, look at all the debate this between-episode wait has caused. K-F subs are becoming like a drug to some people. I NEED MY FIX NOW MAN! DON'T TELL ME TO WAIT
Sometimes these worry discussions are more fun than the episode itself.
-
You know of course the thinking at FBI headquarters:
Agent 1: We've got a live one!
Agent 2: What? An Al-Queda cell?
Agent 1: Worse!
Agent 2: No… it can't be.... fansubbers.
(Do-om!) -
KF isn't based in the US… o.o
