Forum locked to members-only

[Arie]

Well, seeing that some people still insist to diss us after we closed the forum, might as well move the sensible stuff (aka novel thread and omake thread) to a locked subforum and leave the general forum opened.

People please the announcement I made in the general section to have access to this, thank you.

But, even if you lock the forum, it is obvious that the number of members increase very fast. You won't be able to control them, and they still can post goodies from DB to other interwebs.

The locked subforum in question is only available to certain members, not all registered members. Anyone who posts content from that subforum to other websites - without the permission of the people who provided that content - will have their access to the subforum revoked.

. It's a shame that this forum was driven to this, especially since it wasn't what the owners wanted at first, but if it makes life a bit more difficult for thieves BA , then good.

Fixed.

Nah, just kidding. BA  wishes I cared about them that much.

BA is lucky I don't know Japanese; oh, the trolling I would do to them with my translations

I don't look too kindly to people who steal translations and arts from Pikeish and others on here; it's very rude.  BA has a lot of two-faced people, Vindictev being one of the more well-known former members.  I wish I could say I have respect for the IchiOri fandom, but the trolls and delusional bitches that make up the majority of that FC spend more time bashing other ships instead of talking about their own.  I don't know about the rest of you, but it's a little hard to sink a battleship with a rowboat

I'm glad this forum at least requires people to register.  As for fanarts and such that are ONLY for this FC; if I ever submitted a fanart, although I hope the world doesn't bear witness to my terrible art skills, I would ask Annie and Arie to watermark the shit out of it.  Needless to say, we'll see my same picture about two hours later floating around in the thieves' den Tumbly

Hey I came to discuss Bleach because I miss the Bleach discussions and this is the only website that actually discusses the content and I don't have to read fans bashing Kubo whenever he does whatever they want--and still they bash him. Not saying Kubo is above  reproach but tweeting him insults--oh hell no!  Or polluting discussion boards with Kubo hate--is taking it to far. Bash him on your blog  or in the appropriate threads..but please remember that Bleach does have fans....that and the "I just called to say I love you chapter" filled me with so much moe--I wanted to be with people who felt the same

  I don't know about the rest of you, but it's a little hard to sink a battleship with a rowboat

Can I quote you?  Although I don't even think it's a rowboat. It's a dingy that doesn't go anywhere it just bobs occasionally like those so called IchiHime moments that are really just Hime.

As for the locked forum--I don't see the big deal . FLOL is locked and I am usually pro IchiHime shippers but in the last year my opinion of them has changed greatly and they're full of shit and just as vicious as they claim I--no all of us are.
As for Vince...I like Vince a lot but I told him very publicly that I starting to believe that he's taking his beef out with the owners of this website on IR and all the IR shippers-and ICHIGO (<,---I don't play that) because suddenly all the things he hates about IR is all the things that he  use to profess to love.

In my opinion--because I lurk a lot here--Annie and Syn are going to need to advertise for new haters because their existing  haters act like fanboys and actually cry and whine about being cut off from them.

I used to be like Vince--and say..Oh they think they're hot shit because of the fan club--but it wasn't until the IR FC Debacle  and Syn's comment "Fame over a fan club? Who does that?" that I said....Yeah who does that. That and I realized that some shit I just took personal and everyone got the same treatment and since coming here and watching them let ALL SIDES have their say--I realized that some shit was BA rules  (Debbie's post in the IshiHime fc also helped me to realize this) and they have dealt fairly with people who did not provide them the same courtesy. So for that they have my utmost respect--they didn't ban members for having their say even if it was criticism.
I am not saying you should pick a side--even if I think you should pick a side and choose them because we all play for the same team and they love this ship and fandom--if they didn't they could just keep what they know to themselves...but if you don't want to pick a side--DON'T. Which means don't kiss ass on both sides of the fence.
and in the mean time IH shippers --oh I finally read their fc and the shit on my DA and Tumblr made me say you know what. F-u-c-k them all except my personal friends. That and I have been a Bleach fan for 9 years now...
Animesuki summaries always came from Annie
BA has always used IR FC members translations
For them to insult them and their translations I commend you for your patience with Kuroi Fruit because I have never been able to understand anything he/she says and was always under the impression the he/she was a complete imbecile, so I know those translations were ripped from you guys ---well it makes them look like asses because if you look at ALL the threads in BA--you will see that 9-10 times they come from Deathberry/ IR FC members and no matter your personal feelings for them--credit and thanks to them is deserved because I get most of my info and Bleach ondits from you guys. Lock the forums--people are fucking ungrateful.  I don't believe in that, same way I flip out if you act ungrateful when an artist is doing something for you--I gave em my support because wtf if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't know most shit I know about Bleach

(sorry for profanity. I will tune it down. This is something I feel passionately about)

I don't know if I can see the "locked" forum or not. I think I can...but lol I am not sure 
If I post a fan art, it's because I commissioned it and it belong to me or I have permission to use it as I see fit provided with credit

I don't know how many of you have been in my photobucket and in the old days, yeah I did use art, because I didn't realize how inconsiderate that was--but I haven't done that in years and I have uploaded scans because I wanted to get them vectored but I credit them--everyone even the translator. Credit is not too much to ask and anyone who saw me on FaceBook I always post credits and I tell the other groups that THEY MUST CREDIT.


If I can see it, then I greatly appreciate being given trust
But if I haven't it's not a big deal---because I understand why. Besides respect and trust are EARNED not given.
I would love to see the locked forum (if I can't already) and if you gave me permission. I won't share it without permission--the only person I have to vouch for me is Mikaoru--because anything I promised her, I wouldn't post--I never have and even now. I get her permission to post--PAID commissions because OMG she's done so much for me and I know she hates people to manipulate her stuff so I always ask her.

Whatever you decide, I think it's cool. I say lock the bitch--since they don't need you as they claim, then lock the mofo.  The only people who seemed to be against it--is ungrateful leeches and BA ass kissers.

You're here at DB, minding your own business. It's kind of pissing me off that they won't leave you alone. But what kills me is all the people who go "HAHAHAHA We WON" when they really lost. They just lost the best and most reliable source. If they're happy about that--it's because they don't' have the sense god gave a rock

Carry on ladies...IR FTW! (seriously though. take out an ad because your haters come off like fanboys who hate you because they can't be near you) 

EDIT: Oh I can see it!  Thank you ladies--that really shows how much class you have--you let ME in the forums. I really appreciate it. THANKS

Funny Japanese perspective really, and also business and marketing scheme/model if you will. They also consider that it's also driving force of fandom whiners/haters are also part of anime niche. But sadly, it always comes to the part where they don't get anything because it directed towards the "fujoshi" (rotten girls) "yaoi" because it sells: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi_fandom

Furthermore, some part of the fandom is never going to grow a pair. No point in telling them to "grow up".
