Don’t ask me to sing anything for the next 24 months. My voice will still be recovering.

Yay for high Fs.
A little early into the week to be picking a winner, but I sure hope we don’t actually get a new winner by the end of this week >_>
“how can i upload a torrent on this tracker?????“
Sigh… I dunno. Is a site without the text UPLOAD in honking <h1> tags linked to the upload page too difficult to navigate? Is it really too much effort to browse around and figure out how things work here, or to just read the FAQ?
[edit] We might have a runner-up candidate for question of the week.
Caught by the server: upload.php: ” | ‘Naruto English Dubbed 1-209.torrent’ Couldn’t create a temporary file, most likely your file is too big. Try increasing the piece size.
At least he/she knows how to make an offer 🙂
I generally try to be a nice guy, in real life or when moderating. Everyone’s been in a newbie’s shoes before, and I’m one of those who believe that what goes around comes around.
But once in awhile, a particular question appears in modhelp. The kind of question you look at and wish you hadn’t seen. The kind of question you wish someone else would answer so you don’t have to. And looking through my collection of images I found one of those questions.
I can’t remember what our reply to him was, and I can’t remember who handled that question either, but I sure am glad that it is now covered in the miraculous FAQ 😀
Well, I’ll be doing something I figured I would never do since I have nothing to say: write a blog entry. Honestly, I’m not sure what I will say here, since I can say a lot about nothing (If you ask some people that I have sent Christmas cards to, they can attest to how well I can fill it up while not knowing what to actually say) since I really have nothing to say.
First of all this is actually my first official blog post ever. I never felt much like blogging but now that we have BoxTorrents blog I thought it appropriate to add something every now and then. So here it is!
I have never liked alcohol much. I don’t like the grainy taste of beer or whisky. When in Japan I tried some sake but it tastes a lot like beer and whisky, although it’s made from rice. I’m more of a liquor person I guess. Mix drinks also do well for me, so long as they’re not mixed with gin which tastes like soap even if you dilute it with orange juice, in case you like that stuff mix it with tonic to get mouthwash or car polish …
I never understood what is so great about alcohol. I guess I don’t really have a strong preference for alcoholic beverages because I’m just as happy with some tea or juice. Most people seem to frown upon it, other people accept it. In all though, I take pride in choosing for myself what I like so if I feel like drinking I will drink, else I will stick to soda.
What is your experience with different kinds of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages? Do you drink even if you don’t want to drink sometimes?
After considerable consideration, Jarudin has now implemented a new Help Form. This help form should hopefully make people willing to read the FAQ a lot more carefully….
Basically, if a user submits a help form requesting assistance when it is clearly in the FAQ or wiki, I am now allowed to openly mock them by blogging it and making all sorts of comments.
User beware, you’re in for a scare!
(Cookie for anyone knowing where that quote is ripped from.)
TL;DR: Ask for help without reading FAQ and get mocked in the Blog. ^_^
Love Chiya <3
I know this has probably been addressed over, and over, then beaten to death with a stick, but it’s a point of discussion that comes up constantly amongst staff: users not reading our rules and guidelines.
For users from a site that specializes mainly in subbed anime, one would think they would be used to reading text … maybe we need some pretty pictures to go along with the words.
Came by this lovely one-post wonder today.
His first post goes like this:
YES! Omg! Its Nate! Haha anywho hi, I just fount out about this place to download anime and stuuf, and yes i do seed (when im sleeping ^^) ANyways Umm I like anime like Trigun, Desert Punk, Gundam series ( older the better ), Yu Yu Hakusho, Outlaw Star, Coyboy BeBop and of course Astroboy, and any anime/ manga that has somthing to do with a desert world or post apocolypic thing (sand land) Soo if ya know any hit me up!!
*insert gigantic retarded image here*
It’s almost one in the morning, so I decided to post something for a change.
As many of you know, we do have a wiki and an FAQ to handle many of the questions that our users have as well as a forum section to deal with more detailed issues. Many people seem to get along just fine and find answers with very little effort.
But for some, there seems to be a deficiency in two key areas. Reading and Understanding.
Reading
As I said before, the wiki is a good resource for finding answers to many common problems. For some strange outlandish reason, certain people find it extremely difficult to read the help sections, or use the search function for that matter. Is it really that difficult to find answers? We get many requests per day to answer questions that are clearly and thoughtfully answered in the FAQ. Handling these requests are fairly annoying, and sometimes I feel the urge to not answer at all just to spite them for not reading the FAQ. But alas, ethics drive me to answer anyway (the tone of my response, however, depends mostly on my status at that moment).
Understanding
One of the major reasons I don’t handle offers as much as I used to is that it was simply too much trouble to chase after users to have them fix their torrents. When asked if they had read the upload guidelines, nearly everyone replies “Yes, I have!” Most of the time, common sense tells me “No, you haven’t” or “Do you understand it?” Understanding things and using logic is how the world works. Sometimes I wonder how these people get along without screwing up.
I wish I could say more but now it’s time for me to go. Bye~~
