So I guess we're having trouble installing the drivers to the new machine. Maybe because it's 64bit Windows 8 and before it was just Windows XP? The name of the driver is BonDriver and this is the error message that it spits out. It basically says it can't activate the hardware:
BonDriverの初期化ができません。
チューナを開けません。
BonDriver にチューナを開くよう要求しましたがエラーが返されました。
Also, does anyone here know HTML or wiki format? I'm trying to format a menu for the top of the series pages for the wiki, but I'm running into some difficulty.
I talk about it in this thread here: http://forums.tvnihon.com/viewtopic.php?f=202&t=12053#p178465

Stop and delete your torrent. Find your partially downloaded file name and remove the extra "5" in it. Now download the new torrent and resume. Thanks!

I guess they're done filming Go-Busters. Thank you for all your work!
Thread / Wiki
So our wiki supports image uploading now. You might notice that I've started hosting the front page pictures there.
What I really like about having it on the wiki is that I can just tag something [[Category: Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters]] and it automatically puts it in the right place:
http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Category:Tokumei_Sentai_Go-Busters
It'd be really cool if people could add to our image collection. Obviously you need to be signed in, but here's the upload link:
http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Special:Upload
The one drawback is that you can only upload one picture at a time.
For new users, we're manually approving those accounts to try to reduce spammers. If your account isn't activated within a day, e-mail me.

So the new wiki server can support image uploading. That's been a feature that I've wanted for a long time.
Not sure what the user permissions is currently, but people who have the right to upload should have a link on their left menu bar (Alt+Shift+U also works). Looks like there's an error when trying to edit currently, but hopefully that'll sort itself out.
I created a thread to discuss policies and potential issues that this new function brings up:

...we have replaced her with this bag of marbles instead.
So I was gone the last few days because I was at my cousin's wedding. (Congrats Richard and Joyce!) Pretty fun, but also a bit hard when you're single.
To get to the point, I have some bad news to convey. So we got the computer last week and did all the setup (while I was preparing to go away for the weekend.) Then the harsh nature of reality struck, and the tuner hardware just stopped working.
At first we thought it was a bad install or the drivers. But from what I read of the error message, it is more like the hardware itself is either broken, not powered, or the usb cord is bad, or stuck in a busy mode and not accessable from the computer. It's pretty crazy. We even moved it back to the netbook in a desperate attempt to cap something, but it didn't work.
Sorry, I know this isn't what you guys want to hear after the successful drive last week. All I can do is ask people to be patient as we bang our heads together and try to form some solution to this problem.
Because I was gone, I also am behind on answering e-mails. If you sent me anything in the last week, I'll probably be answering them this week.

Since we received more than expected, we poured everything into a top of the line computer. It doesn't look like much, but apparently it's as powerful as it gets? I actually won't be around this weekend, so let's hope that its trial run is a smooth one!
Thanks again to everyone who donated. You guys are the best! This will make our jobs subbing weeklies a lot easier.

Thanks a lot to everyone who donated. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. This will sound kind of dumb, but we do this sort of stuff because we like the shows and the work that it entails. It's pretty nice to know that people are willing to put money into supporting the work that we do.
Some people wrote apologizing for small donations. To those people, I say don't. That's money you chose to give, and that means a lot whether it's a big donation or a small one. The exchange of money isn't a light one. We're basically faceless strangers on the Internet, but you've displayed an act of faith and trust that we are deeply appreciative of.
It's not much, but I think we should include a thanks page crediting the donors on the first episodes we release with the new computer. It's going to be opt-in. If you've donated, just e-mail me with how you want to be credited, or you can dedicate it to someone else if you want.
Again, thanks to all of you who donated. You guys are awesome and this is really a meaningful gift to our little community.
Edit: I'm about to start personally responding to all the e-mail notices. If I don't respond, please drop me an e-mail to make sure I didn't miss one. Thanks!

As for the donations, I feel like we'll have enough after today. So don't feel obligated to donate after that. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. I'll be sure to respond to your e-mails tonight.

Hello! I'm here to ask for money today.
We've been working to set up a system for capping our own work raws in Japan lately. I thought we had a decent setup, but I guess not since it sort of ate it 8 minutes into Wizard yesterday. I mean, I kind of knew it wasn't a powerhouse of a machine, but after doing some investigation it apparently only has 1 gb or ram and runs at 1.66 ghz. Not terribly suited for being a media work horse.
If we could get a few hundred bucks, we could probably get our member in Japan a decent laptop or something. I can't really ask this person to put in any more money since the capture equipment was a few hundred dollars already. I'm willing to throw in about 100 bucks myself, so maybe a tentative goal of 400-500 would be good?
You can always donate via the paypal link at the top. I really hate to ask you guys for money like this, but sometimes we have to deal with the fact that money makes the world turn round. Anyway, thanks guys for your support as always!

True to the "next one's got to be bigger and badder", the next Super Hero Taisen movie will span studio systems with Super Hero Taisen X: Kamen Rider x Super Sentai versus the ChouSeiShin series.
When asked about what lead to this decision, Toei admitted that they really couldn't come up with a good reason for Kamen Riders and Sentai members to be fighting. So they're just going to beat up heroes from a different universe. "Hey, at least it's not Toei heroes that they'll be beating up. It's just some third-rate hero series that most people have forgotten by now, so it'll be great. So our goal this time is to have over a thousand stunt actors on screen in the big clusterfuck battle at the end."
The ChouSeiShin series was a hero series that aired from 2003 to 2006. It had two full year series and one 3/4 of a year series. The actors were rerported to have been grateful that people still remember then 10 years later. "Oh yeah, the kids that watched your show are now teenagers. It's the perfect time to reap their sense of nostalgia for childhood memories. This movie is going to be great."
Full disclosure: I meant to write this joke article a couple months ago when I saw these pictures online. At the time, Super Hero Taisen 2 wasn't actually a thing, but I guess it actually is now?

So I'm thinking of putting pictures in subforums. Just to give our forums a little color. It's not like vampires and goths are our main theme.
The Go-Busters forum for example.
If you want to suggest a picture, just put it in our splash pic thread or e-mail me.
I don't have any conditions at this point. Just don't make it too big. If it's not obvious where the pic should go, you should tell me that too. Thanks!
