Haha. Yeah... well... It happens.
The reason why nothing came up is because, at least on DCTP, we have a strict no asking policy. As for here... they don't have said policy because they don't have most of the DCTP staff here... Parkur and I are basically it, unless Abs. wants to surface again...
And believe me, the response you got here is fairly tame, because on DCTP you'd have likely gotten SEVERAL members, not even staff, to tell you to be patient. Most likely because they realize that it only serves to annoy the people who are diligently working on the episode and doesn't make it come out any faster. In terms of fansubbing... FAN is the key part... We are merely fans who are doing a service for the love of the series (hell, some of us are only doing it for the love of the community now), for free. It is our very time consuming hobby, and we treat it as thus and sometimes have to put it on the back burner in lieu of work, school or even our nearly nonexistent social life.
It isn't your fault... Most fansubbers get jaded after a while. There are 5 kinds of fans from what I have seen... 1) Patient and quiet, 2) Patient and verbal (as in they tell off the verbal impatient fans) 3) Impatient and quiet, 4) Impatient and verbal 5) Trolls (which have a whole slew of subcategories all of their own)... The majority fall into the quiet categories, whether impatient or patient it doesn't matter, but they at least don't complain or question why it is out. They just lay in wait, lurking on the forums for the announcement of release... The problems arise from the verbal side of the community. Even without the staff stepping in there is almost always both sides when people ask about release times or why something is delayed. And the staff get tired of saying the same thing over and over...
In DCTP, there is only ONE person who actually knows the release schedule, which is Jd-. Everyone else does THEIR job and that is it. No individual member will ever know the release time of any episode, because once it leaves their hand there is the next stage to consider. Even encoding which is pretty much the last thing has to wonder about how long QC and distro will take. And even after the final encoder gets done and sends it off, he has to wonder how long it will take the seeders, and the uploads to ddl and ctv will take to get set up (distro). That is probably where the irritation comes in, because WE HONESTLY DON'T KNOW. We only know that it is being worked on.
So just for future reference, please... don't ask and be a bit more patient. DCTP is still going and it will come out eventually, it is just a matter of time.
