Update: Thanks to all you wonderful leechers who helped out, the new parts are on their way. For those who are curious, I decided to go with the quad core and 4GB RAM. This means you can expect more bluray releases as soon as next week this weekend (because of Newegg’s same-day shipping)!

Also, I now know why the site admin disables the donation button after we meet our monthly goal. If he didn’t, we’d get almost $10,000 in donations every month. Which is ridiculous, right? o.o

Original post:

Some of you may have heard that the computer being used to encode most of the blurays is currently dead. Well, this is sadly true. I’ve also heard people asking/complaining about Railgun. With that computer broken (and it being the only one I have with a bluray drive), Railgun and Hayate blurays (as well as any other series that might have been on there, which are Asu no Yoichi and the fixed OP/ED for K-On) are delayed until the computer can be fixed. However, I don’t have the money to fix it, and finding a job in this economy is harder than finding Osama bin Laden. I am not asking anyone to donate to fix the computer. However, I can’t encode any of these blurays until it is fixed. So I’ll just post a convenient link here in case anyone wants to bring the bluray computer back online faster. And yes, I did have to set up a separate site for this, because our site admin finds it effective to disable the “Donate” button on here as soon as our goal is met every month. Anyway, just keeping you, the leechers, updated.

Sincerely,

Your faithful encoder

Look guys. We’re sick of people asking this question. So we posted a page on the site on why we did this. Read it here:

http://www.chihiro-subs.com/why-did-u-cut-out-the-op-and-ed-i-hate-u-chihiro/

The next time I see someone asking this question, I will personally gouge out their eyeballs with a rusty spoon AND BAN THEM FROM THE SITE. RAWR!!!

(Actually the really funny thing is… we’ve had instructions about ordered chapters posted in the FAQ page for months, if not years. I guess nobody ever reads the FAQs, huh?)

Kristen Edit: Setsuna <3 Update: This is now posted in 3 different places on the site, those being the loud, all caps ranting page, the FAQs page, and the playback help page. Nobody should ever have any questions about why we cut out the OP/ED ever again. Mirage Edit: ^ That won't stop them. In response to a few comments: Who cares if DVDs do it, they're self-contained. We pretty much HAVE been answering this in every post even though I'm fairly sure it was stated in the original post. Why would you download episodes in different resolutions? >_>

In other news: Progress Report.
I’m back from the dead, not that anyone cared. Lilpri 7 is off me, 8/9 is delayed until I return from my trip this weekend.
I think updated versions of the K-on OP/EDs are delayed because the encoders computer is busted. They are still uncompromisable, even after official lyrics. Actually, I think they’re harder to understand now, imo.
Working is moving along fine, and I have no idea about anything else.

Except To-love ru 06.

I’m rather sick of people(person?) demanding that we do it so I think I’m going to take over the edit since no one else seems to care. Constantly yelling at us to do something is not going to make us do it any faster, so shut up. I’m delaying it a week for every new comment demanding that it be released. I’m also delaying it half a month for all the comments that have already been made demanding it. Lucky for those who so desperately want it, most of them have been marked as spam, so a quick search only throws up 2. I’ll get on that edit in a month.
