Wow. After such long record of being online, it is truly sad to see one of web's
oldest and best anime wallpaper related site moving on. I can still remember
quite clearly when I was fortunate enough to receive the invitation to join the
team and what honor it was. The times we shared was truly highlight of my
graphics years, but all of us has long gone towards our separate paths and it
now is the time to move on.
First and foremost, thank you shinta! You bringing each and every one of us
under imanimetions was such treat, not to mention running such an excellent
website for all these years. Ten years! It is truly a remarkable feat. Although
some of us are not active in the community any longer, I do wish them success in
whatever they do. It it without a doubt when I say that if they put 1/2 of the
effort they put in graphics, they can surely persevere in whatever environment
they may find themselves in.
Thank you friends, supporters, and definitely shinta. It was a long road, but it
sure was a fun one!
most likely wont happen. the rating were better than i would have thought, but
most ghost hunt fans i know (and i know 2 people who are extremely well-versed
in ghost hunt news) dont believe there would be. its a pity because it totally
didnt explain the dream naru thing
im here to to question one of a scan deletion in the gallery. forgive me for
being picky, but usually im apathetic towards deletion of my gallery, especially
seeing that im in the "been there done that" shoes and i know that
such topic are troublesome and annoyance for the staff in charge; however, i
just needed one thing clarified with the recent (or probably not so recent,
considering how inactive i am... but lets save that story for another time)
change in the rules of the submission.
the submisison in question is: horibe hidero's artbook
"yours" - season of summer by sammo
the reason for deletion is one that applied to nudity/suggestive pose/etc. this
is great, and im not too emotional about it - but my question comes down to
this: does minitokyo not accept swimsuit scans anymore? are they also too
suggestive?
im assuming it was a very borderline decision, but the same scan was submitted
without the quarantine being put into place
(http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/256637/).
o, i didn't mean like "mods taking vengeful action", but maybe a
"playful" action (god knows how many times osi changed my user title).
truth be known, i haven't posted on the forum/guestbook/gallery item in a bit
while, so i would have to take that out of the equation.
but if it's going to be fixed, im a happy camper in the end.
the maximum favorite any of my scans had was perhaps around 65. i belive over
the span of 2-3 weeks. about 8-10 scans were deleted, but none of them had any
major number of favorites (most were under 20) and such. even if 100 scans with
30 favs were to be deleted from my gallery, i hardly doubt that it'd have
consequential effect of negating 1800 points.
wow, mt's gallery got so big now well,
it's been a long time since i've kept up with the stats.
im here to report some weird events dealing with someone or something fiddling
with my credits.
before our credit system was hidden from us until it was low, i had some 900
points. i do not really download much scan/wallpapers in the community, but i do
seldom come here and download 4-5 on a good posting day. this is all nice and
great, until about two weeks ago when my credit dived head first into a whopping
-150 credits. unable to figure out what event had exactly transpired that would
cause me to lose atleast 1000 points, i remained indifferent and did not raise
any question.
but this is getting quite ridiculous, as my points have dropped once again to a
point where i now have -909 credit system.
i find that it would be impossible for me to have been responsible for this
reduction in points, seeing that most of the times, gallery items cost about
.2-.5 credits. in short, i would have to download 6,000-10,000 gallery item to
have lost 1800 points in a span of 2-3 weeks. to best of my knowledge as a past
gallery director, this would cover atleast 4/8 to 5/8 of total gallery database
in MT. obviously i do not have the patience, time, nor the interest to carry out
such an idiotic action.
so in the end, question boils down to this: was it a flaw in the system that
caused such injustice on me? was it an infringement of gallery director's just
power? (i surely hope it is not so) in the end, what really happened is
irrelevant to my interest. all i wish for is that i be restored those lost
points, to a point where i atleast have 500 credits.
this new "feature" is silly... its like banks not letting you see your
own balance! and then one day you return and find that you have barely any
credits left... (/o_o\) what's the logic to this?
that's right folks. me, along with few other comrades, will soon be starting a
manga scanlation group called "i-jin", or "great men." what
do we do? translate and scanlate manga, of course!
wait wait wait... just who is involved in
this crazy, but also very exciting and prestigious group? not many, because we
just decided on this wild and adventurous idea just few weeks ago, but here are
the staff rosters of so far:
sammo (that's me)
katzbalger
osiris
w00tazn
wow sammo. this sounds stupendous. i mean, you, osiris, katz, and w00t? it
sounds like an all-star dream team no matter how i see it!
but before i do anything hasty like giving a big
kancho to my dad, what titles do you plan to do?
well, my furry prospective recruits, right now we plan on some of following
titles:
fate stay night
magikano
mahou sensei negi
getbackers
history's strongest disciple kenichi
tsuda mikiyo
magical girl lyrical nanoha (if we can acquire the raw).
anything we can get our grubby hands on!
o bejsus sammo! this is great! ive heard/never heard of these titles! so what kind of people are you really looking for,
sammo?
hohoho! im glad you're still reading, my favorite MT member! right now we are
all looking for veterans and hotshots all around the community that are
confident in scan clean up and touch ups to make it readable to us picky english
users!
editors are expected to clean up scans
and type set everything so everything looks perfect before it undergoes a
quality check.
quality checker are preferably for those
who are confident in their english skills to pick out nits and bits of grammar
and/or punctuation mistakes and other graphical flaws that may want us to rip
our eye out of its eye socket!
raw provider - do you have a manga you
want to be scanlated? do you have a scanner? or do you have a manga and a
scanner and is wiling to help us get raws? if yes to all three questions above,
you are direly wanted for the job! simply said, raw providers are the special
fairies that provide the group the materials to work with... in a sense, the
heart of the group
translator - are you fluent in japanese?
sufficient in english? do you want to lend your skills for the good of anime and
manga community? if raw providers are heart of the group, translators may be the
brain of the operation! whether you want to practice your japanese or are bored,
we reall really welcome you with open arms
well well well, there you guys have it. no matter what categories you may fall
in to, you will all be equally welcomed (unless you are a raw provider or
translator or even both. in that case, we will show you even more appreciation
and love). interested? reply to this thread or join #minitokyo on irc.rizon.net
to talk to our friendly staff!
anyways, i actually heard of sleep paralysis. this is due to bad medication, and
stress. best thing to do is get correct medication, stretch a lot, do yoga, and
watch old school nickalodeon cartoons to comfort and relax your self. remember,
muscle relaxation and mental clarity is the key!
ok listen ayasal; candy's being crazy... i had the same problem as you, where
instead of hearing people in crowded places, i heard a chant where it sounded
like hundreds of people were worshipping me. i was like ok this is twisted, and
took some blue colored tylenol from a african american pharmacist with
sunglasses. when i woke up, i felt fine. never had the trouble ever again... all
the sometimes i wonder what the red pill would've done...
it could be that you've gone crazy from making so much wallpaper. stop and take
a long long nap and have a reflection on what your achievements have been since
you were born, and what you strive to be in the future (not walling though! or
you'll die!)
hmm... it didn't have the quiet feature, but strangely enough, on the bios, it
says my CPU temp is 45 degrees celsius... when i go on windows and load up a
program called speedfan, it tells me that it's actuallt 35 degree celsius. kinda
confused as to what value i should go with
hmm... it also seems like i need a video card, because i noticed that video
files skip a lot on my computer... any recommendation for AGP 4x/8x with +1.5 V
specification?
well, thanks to all you guys' help, i am now running on my new built comupter...
it runs a bit hot, (pretty damn hot) as it idles at 45 degrees celsius, even
with the thermaltake jungle heatsink that yoh recommended.... i added the
ceramic stuff and everything, but i guess i'll have a computer technician check
on everything in general to see if i messed up anywhere. or maybe pentium
processors just runs hot... o well :b
but anyways, thanks guys! you were a HUGE HUGE help!
hmm... that's quite a lot of information to take... but if i build another
computer (that is, if i have sucess with this one), i'll have better idea of
which components to consider
just one slight thing: my barebone kit (which should arrive tommorow \o/)
requires this for storage information:
Storage
IDE ATA 2x ATA 133
Serial ATA 2x SATA 150
does that mean as long as my harddrive is IDE Ultra ATA 133 or serial ATA 150
interface, i should be ok?
*sammo headbutts Radeonator* come quicker next time
o well, money wasn't actually an issue to me, but i still didn't want to spend
more than i needed to. since i already ordered all my parts, it looks like 300
out of my pocket (100 for barebone, 200 for processor + aftermarket heatsink).
combined with 1gb ram, 9200 ati radeon, and 80 gb of space i should be set
*_*
should be enough for an average joe like me, right? i mean, all i do is
photoshop and occassionally do 3d renders and eat cake.
TIKI. YOH. you guys have been such a tremendous help. when i finish building
this computer (successfully without a doubt), i will make sure i will reward you
when i become rich and famous! nyahahaha!
normally a college will give you a scholarship if your gpa is above 3.5 and have
an acceptable SAT/ACT score. of course, if you plan on attending ivy league
school, then you'd better just pray to god you'll get in with those
scores.
in any case, short on money? get a loan, and pay it off when you achieve your
big dream. just remember that one wrong step that causes you to veer off course
will still mean that you'll have to repay the loan.
ah, yosh... damn, so i ended up spending 170 on that stupid processor after
all... it better be fast as hell
ok ok, one more question! (my god sammo, you want more answers!?)'
ok, so my barebone kit has this requirement for memory:
Memory slot 2x 184Pin
Memory Type Supported DDR333/400
Max Memory Supported 2GB
Dual Channel Memory Supported Yes
which i totally understand (or think i understand). imi planning to get 2 1gb
stick so i can fully maximize max memory supported on my barebone kit... but
what is:
cas latency
ECC
registered/unbuffered
timing
and how do these 4 really tie in with compatibility, speed, etc?
if you want, please feel free to recommend me a good 1 gb ram stick... ur..
please
phew... i almost went ahead and bought the processor last night. good thing i
didnt. as stupid as it may seem, i already bought that barebone kit.
now i wish i had known about that site before i hastily went and did something
stupid like that T___T previously, i had 2.6 ghz celeron d running on 512mb of
ram and i really didn't have any issues with it. in fact, i was pretty happy
with its speed. i have no idea if it supported 64bit, but it was about 1-1 1/2
years old (s5100nx).
i wanted to see exactly how much of an importantce 64 bit support will be in the
future, and i was pretty stunned. it sounds like an inevitable must-have
