initial d 4th stage ep. 11 and 12
gumbaloom:
Hehe I'm inclined to agree with the general opinion of the people posting here..
Simple fact is this, when you're fansubbing you have IRC open and you have substation alpha/medusa open. Fansubbing is one of the rare things where there is such direct contact between the person doing it and the person who derrives benefit from it.
I've been in the game for just over a year now and I can tell you from experience, if you're hanging out in a channel at the same time as trying to get fansubbing work done, its incredibly distracting seeing people asking "when will X be out". At least for me when such conversation is happening I find it very difficult to concentrate on my work. When you come on IRC to ask "when will ID4 eps XX be out" just remember that you are probably just distracting the people who work on the show from getting the job done.
Its a common courtesy across the whole fansubbing world that one does not ask when new eps are coming out. L-E is not on its own in not giving "status updates". Look at animesuki theres a pinned thread saying "Dont ask when the next ep will be out".
The simple reason as has been stated many times before is people have lives. I'm doing a Masters Degree and I have a 70 credit dissertation in the works. This comes BEFORE the work I'm doing on typesetting Shin Kaguya Shima Densetsu. However people are happy to wait because they know that there will be quality work done.
Just because someone is being slow with their bit of the job doesnt mean they care about the show it just means that they are sticking to the golden rule of fansubbing
REAL LIFE COMES FIRST

Faster to learn the lingo than to wait for 11 & 12... (a MONTH now...)

Good, then maybe you'll actually do something PRODUCTIVE with your life rather than wet yourself waiting for new fansubs.
Aside from everything that's been said so far, which is all true, you guys are missing another point: Even putting up a statement saying exactly where the episode is in the fansubbing process won't help anything. For one, just like the "Eps 11&12 AREN'T OUT YET!" warning that gets put in the IRC channel's topic, nobody would ever read it. Your average person is just too stupid to read the first thing that pops into their window when entering a channel. If we DID do that though, and it stayed at, say, "typesetting" for three or four days, we'd just have people asking "When is the typesetting going to be done?", and "Why is the typesetting taking so long?". Same stupid questions, different subject -- and this way it'd be a lot more personal since the bottleneck now points at a specific person. I doubt anyone wants the entire fanbase breathing down their neck personally.
So in other words, remember that you guys who actually pay attention to our announcements are the minority by an extremely large margin. While more "communication" might satisfy some of you guys (but probably won't -- see my points above), it wouldn't alleviate any of the irritation WE receive. Things should hopefully be getting back on track soon, so just keep waiting. Or come to L-E's IRC channel so I can abuse you to alleviate stress/boredom.

sounds like you can't even have your own say in this forums without some random going flaming at you.
clint.
Yoten:
Hope that wasn't directed at me, as his post was clearly him whining, angrily at that, about how long the subs are taking. And you can't say actually going out and learning another language, much less one that applies to your hobbies, is a bad thing. And finally, it's funny yet not unexpected how I'm still considered random. I like it. :P
