That is just the way it is. If you aren't up to task, don't leave a project half cocked. You wouldn't start having sex and then decide to stop halfway through. I'm not trying to say they are all like this, or even bitching about it, OT does a great job, but there are groups that have this attitude that they are better than everyone else and expect everyone to not ask them questions when people are going to ask, especially newbies. I respect the work they do, but when a year goes by without a single episode done, or 8 years later they are STILL working on the series, I, like many others, am going to raise the issue.

No, that's not the way it is. When someone is doing you a favor, for nothing, and they do that favor on a consistent basis and then stop, that's their prerogative. Life comes up, other interests, etc.

I really hate this attitude you have that people owe you something, a sense of entitlement. Your posts are overly negative, you're rude to other people, and hide it under the guise of an "opinion." I'm telling you, your opinion is wrong. I have never seen someone expect or demand something like this before.

Fansub groups don't feel they are better than other people, they don't want others asking questions because do you realize how many questions they would get? It's not that they feel they're holier than thou (that's more your role) but because they cannot answer every single question asked, and most of them are things like this. "When is Timeranger going to be done?" When it's done. If it's a year or 8 years or something, take the hint, they're either not interested in doing it anymore, or something happened to the sub group that was working on that series.

They aren't here for you. I've learned through life that if you want something done and you cannot do it yourself, either learn how to do it, or if someone else does it for you, be patient and not demanding.

This is a perfect example of what I hate the most about this fandom and why I feel I'm out growing it. Or sick of it, one of the two.

So either wait patiently or pick up a translator program and learn Japanese yourself. But stop expecting others who don't even know you and have to put up with thousands of others, like you, to wait on you hand and foot. It's not their only job, nor do they get any sort of pay for it either.

EDIT: I originally came in here to talk about Trains. Saw the first ep. Was okay. Like Brainchild, I won't be rushing to see this every week, but it had some good spots.
