Thanks for clarifying that lol. I personally find it disturbing when people call me "dude"

But no, I have to say this because it'll be unfair to him otherwise, but it's not Jorge.

Just have a good cred on AHS is enough I guess.

If only Japanese was kana-only, I would gladly translate but alas...

I have to confess that my second language is Mandarin/Chinese, so I've more or less grown up reading nothing but kanji. Helps tons with my Japanese class.

arent you just going to quit there too. :/

Thing is, yes, I have been bothered by people taking my translations and hotlinking from my account without credit. I've actually figured a solution out for that one: just uploading images twice, once to imageshack for AHS use, and once to my photobucket account for my own blog. It's solved the problem for stealing, as imageshack images are not my concern. Besides, as you said, if people are really intent on stealing, it doesn't matter whether I post something on the blog or AHS.

The main issue that made me decide to let go at AHS is seeing some members dissing my translations. I feel terribly insulted as a translator who has spent time and effort translating for people, only to have them say things like "why are we stuck with Misa-chan translating?" and "I liked _____'s translations better, let's create a movement to get him/her back!!". If you don't like me personally or the way I go about things sometimes, fine, just let me know and I'll try to change if I can. But dissing my work... What am I supposed to do about that? Improve my Japanese?? Ask ayu to write in a cuter way so my translations won't sound boring???

The only thing I can say is, alright, you don't like my work, I'll move it somewhere else, which is what I've done. That way, you don't have to see what you don't want to see, I don't have to see you dissing me, and people who still want to read the translations still have somewhere to go. Everybody's happy.

Isa confused...

It will cut down a little, because entries on the blog are protected, and I choose who to give the password to. If I give the password to someone who has stolen, it'll be because I have lousy people-reading skills then, and I'll have to change the password or something...
