Our late donation drive

So our usual disclaimer, fansubbing is a hobby for our group. We don't do it for profit and most of us have jobs and other stuff going on. But if you don't mind a little wait and enjoy our style, we'd love it if you can help offset some of the costs of this hobby

Our goal this time is $662:

  • 135 for a seedbox
  • 240 for the server
  • 247 for source material
  • 93 for computer replacement parts
  • -52 from donations throughout the year

Anyway, I'll leave this up for a week. If we make it, we make it. Otherwise it's no big deal. You can donate from our Paypal link, but e-mail if you want to pay using a different method and I can see if I can arrange something. Thank you for reading!

 

Thank you donators. New capping computer

Long overdue, but to be fair, we were only able to get it working like 2 weeks ago. Just a lot of technical problems, which were able to overcome thanks to our tech guy, Dark Aura.

So far, it's been working great. We've been using it for a couple weeks and haven't really experienced the same failures that we were seeing on the other computer.

Just a little peek behind the scenes, but whenever we encoded audio for distro, it would fail like 40% of the time for no reason. It's extra maddening because it's not consistent. Not often enough for us to go all out in fixing it, but often enough that we'd be trying to reencode the audio again and again until it worked. So thankfully, that's not an issue with the new computer.

I'd like to thank GeJe Sentai, BiFkun, LigerFan, Scott Hamilton, and Davis "Des Shinta" Sleboda for their donations among others, who helped allay the cost of the computer. We were able to use donations to pay for most of the cost of the computer.

I also did a little survey, and apparently our donator's favorite shows are: GekIRanger, Shinkenger, Garo Yami, Gokaiger, Gaim, Kiva, Hurricaneger, Go-Onger, Ryuki, Blade, Ultraman, Toqger, W, Power Rangers Time Force, Zero, Metalder, Tiga.

We also had one donation with came with the note: "For the Capped Crusader..."

Once again, thank you everyone! We couldn't do this without you guys!
