Sun_Tze,

getting back to my origional intention, is there any intention/desire to post that kind of information somewhere on your main page (maybe it's there and I'm blind) What I was trying to get at with my origional post was rather than the no answer which just causes flame wars back and forth or the "Are we there yet" questions is there not something like

Initial D 4th Stage EP 11 & 12
       Step 1 : Raws Recieved   [x]
       Step 2 : ???                     [x]
       Step 3 : Profit!                 [x]

I know that takes time, but I really think it would answer a lot of peoples questions. Fewer "Does LE have the raws yet have they started how far are they?" type questions. And when they do occure rather than a random non LE person letting into the person who asked - giving us all an oppertunity to roast marshmellows on the open flame - they could just "say goto X url (RTFM basicly)" and that shows the progress

Like I said before, I guess I was wondering if there was a reason to not have that, maybe ya'll haven't had the time, idea or desire, just seems like it'd save a lot of hassle

Ya'll already have some of the best subbing around why not knock it up a notch and have the best customer support?

I was quite happy just coming in here every day to check if the eps had been released, but after Vollmer's comments, had to register just to make a point.

They could do that if they wanted to, but they're not obliged to, nobody under the GPL, BSD, or any other licencing "scheme" is obliged to give an ETA on their progress, or impeding release. I do some software development myself, and I don't give ETA's, because then it makes people expect too much of you when you go past it, and it makes the pressure even higher on yourself to get the job done and not dissapoint anyone!

Here, they do the job, get the product out, you all rejoice untill the next two eps. I'm honestly gratefull for their stuff, and the fact that they don't give a progress update means it's kinda like a surprise when it gets released (To me, that makes the wait all that much better).

Doing progress reports or even updating a website, even as simple as it might appear to be, to track the progress of something like this is a pain, because there are too many factors in the whole thing to really give an accurate responce about. If anything, they could say "Yes, we have the raws", and then you be quiet untill they go "Yes, we're done, here's the files". Reasons I can think of are along the lines of:

1. Internet connections to send/recieve the data from one person to another when the files are being done.
2. The amount of QC that they do, it makes it quite complex.
3. Possible data corruption, hard disk failure, ISP failure... Hell, any critical component failure is a major setback on a timeline.

Now that I'm sorta done in the whole thing, long explanation short:

"BE PATIENT! They're human just like us, give them a break"

vollmer sometimes its in the TOPIC on irc.  if you read the TOPIC on irc then you'd know the status of the project. but then this is getting old. sometimes there is a comment about id if mamo-chan is feeling like a uuuhh...err..jerk and will leave something up there.  but really we dont have to give etas/upload a url for every project we do.  mostly as because we have LIVES (i.e i had 2 surgeries last month, some people had exams; you know the things that happen when you dont watch anime) there really is no eta.  it get's done when it gets done.  be happy.  all this complaining and noise doesnt get anything done quicker so why go through it? really the only people who may have any right to wonder where the show they like are akazukin chacha, rov and peach girl people.  who havent had their shows in a longer time than you ID4 people but yet dont give the same hassle as you guys.  why is that?  so relax.

i agree i mean honestly would you rather watch the shitty tokyopop IDs? or something good. i dont care when it comes out or how long it takes cause i know if i get too impatient i can go somewhere else and get a POS fix then come back when the good stuff is out. And get a Great Fix. And if I was givin an ETA it would mess with my life because i would check beck alot around the tiem it got close and anothing would get done. Im Glad there is no ETAs
