@Robby:
And is there any reason, that the people
on this site
for ONE title
out of respect for two of our own guys
can't show a little patience?
I'm not saying reddit or 4 chan discussions need to be kept in check, that's not in our jurisdiction. But can't the Arlong Park community respect the Arlong Park community?
All the talk of respect and support just goes down the toilet once there's a bit of competition. It turns into just lip service.
"Oh well , these other guys are doing it early too" doesn't mean you HAVE to join in. You can still keep your convictions and still wait till Monday. This particular crowd will wait, no problem. ANd they'd all still read it and discuss it on Monday. (Apparently for months I was the only one doing this… since I wasn't even looking prior to the official release) Or, they'll read the shitty translation on Thursday, then read your better version on Monday because hey, they know the guy doing the translation.
Or, if no one said "hey, shitty translation chapter is out here" and just instead went "Hey, the AP forum guys translation out" on Monday, would that really shake the world so crazily?
The ONLY reasons to not keep showing that respect, is
-"I want to be read first!" (which shouldn't matter if you were letting the official hit first before, or want quality over speed)
-To get those competitive early page views and make money off your scanlation.
(And I know its a lost battle now. I'm upset it happened in the first place.)
I mean, one of our guys is doing the One-Piece translation and has been for years, yet AP still supports the scans. It's hard to see your side, when what this site is dedicated to doesn't even respect Stephen and the official release.
At least Fallen Angels solicits the official release in their scanlation. That's more than anyone else does for any series.
