It's been a long day and i'm just sitting here having my nightly beer, i flick through some old topics and on a whim visit some old projects.
Clannad for example, so much drama happened over that, when i still had time and eager wet-behind-the-ear Editor.
I see a name pop up, Velocity7, then thewafflehouse, not to mention the diva kuroneko and finally sprocket-hole subs.
Huh! what happened to those people? So i click the link and.....well, lets just say, it's sad to see some of those groups dead, some drop early at 2008, hell not even velocity7's blog is active anymore, going silent in 2011.
The loneliness of those pages reminded me of some older memories....
If there was one group or team that i will always remember, it will have to be Baka-Neko, i loved that forum, i loved the people on it and the fun i had. I wished i could help in the translation or the admin of the board, but i was content playing the games.
It was with great sadness, that in the beginning of 2006 the board was shut down.....but maybe it was a blessing because i found my way here....where i had a chance to help in translation and administrate the community.
I created my own little baka-ness, cultivating the chaos into my own playground. Perhaps i was young foolish back then, but if there is one thing i have never regretted, it was the attitude to-be-not-serious.
So you know the theme of this topic, how many other translation groups or teams can you name, that we have outlived? Which groups or translation team do you miss or were involved with?
Come come, share your stories, let us bask in the warm glow of the Baka-Tsuki heath on this cosy commune board and admire how long we have defy the odds of interweb survivability!
