On 11/10/2009, I saw this:
" SUBlimes isn't subbing for the "now", they are subbing for the "now
on". In other words, if you're the type who wants to get the latest
dramas like Autumn's Concerto right away, regardless of quality, then
go to Viikii or Minsquare with their sloppy subs and their inferior
video quality.
SUBlimes doesn't subscribe to that kind of thinking. They care more
about maximizing the experience of a drama. If the video quality is
bad, if the translations are off, or if the grammar/spelling is wrong,
then that lowers the viewing experience drastically. That’s why
SUBlimes releases at high-quality mp4 video, translations are
quality-checked, and grammar/spelling error checking is taken seriously.
Put another way, SUBlimes releases subs for prosperity's sake, like for
those who like to wait until the series is over, who discovered the
series late, or who don’t mind waiting a week after that episode airs.
By then, viewers will have at least three fansub versions to choose
from: SUBlimes' superior release, Minsquare’s sloppy translations, or
Viikii’s inferior release on every aspect possible.
No subs in previews and a delay of several days for release? A really
small price to pay to watch with excellent subs, high-quality video,
and all conveniently in one piece."
This was wrote by a person with the username XiaoPauli on AsianFanatics website. (So you think I don't go around reading your comments?) It really broke my heart after reading this comment. Can I interpret it as, if I may, that you are trying to say that my videos aren't HQ, and my subs are junk? I'm OFFICIALLY going on strike. They are a subbing team alright and I do claim
that I'm a amateur subber alright but my subs are actually sloppy?! I
DON'T slog my guts out every Monday to get this kind of treatment.
Since they are good, watch theirs then. Or perhaps you can go to the
other user since my subs are sloppy. Can they please
think before they type? It just breaks my spirit reading such comments.
AND PS: I do want to upload full lengths. Blame Youtube if you
must. I tried to upgrade to 'Director' but they still forbade me to go
beyond 11. I'm already very nice to try to push for 10:50++ videos.
Duh.
And before you question my ability, I've had 3 years of subbing experience.
On top of that, my qualifications to this very moment are:
- PSLE Score of 263; Mother Tongue A*, English A*, Higher Chinese Distinction
- GCE O' Level Higher Chinese A1
- Bilingual Programme with Grade A+
- HSK International Chinese Proficiency Test A
- Offered Chinese Language and Literature at H2 and H3 levels, gotten an A for my finals; texts I've studied include Chinese poems, short stories and Dream of the Red Chambers
I'm just being humble and modest when I claim that I'm an amateur subber; so XiaoPauli, please learn how to read between the lines before you make such hurtful comments. I'm not paid and now I've to tolerate this kind of nonsense too? I seriously am thinking of demanding an apology. I know the rest of you have showed a lot of love but I guess this is what you call the black sheep then.
