Empowerment

Dear readers and BakaBT users,

Recently, I realised that we haven’t really been acknowledging the efforts of subbers, encoders, uploaders and such. This I noticed after looking at one of the recently granted offers, namely Princess Tutu OVAs.

How insensitive of us site moderators and administrators to not have noticed that “Group” is simply an insufficient label to describe the hours of blood and sweat poured into each and every offer! * kureshii chastises himself and the BakaBT staff for being so insensitive to effort.

In repentance, we have decided to accord the proper recognition to such dedicated effort, and accompany them with new titles:

Uploaders: Marketing and Graphic Design Executives
Power Uploaders: Senior Marketing and Graphic Design Executives
Seeders: Content Provision Enterprises (Our Precious Employees)
Leechers: Our Valued Customers
Fansubbers: Content Translation, Localisation and Enhancement Services
Encoders: Content Packaging and Optimisation Services

There is no word yet on whether these new titles will be integrated into the site; that largely depends on Jarudin, our webmonkey *ahem* Server Administrator, Programmer and BakaBT co-owner.

In any case, enjoy your new titles, we hope you like them, and we pray that these new titles will give you a feeling of empowerment that inspires you to contribute even more! 😀

Yours Sincerely,
kureshii
BakaBT moderator voluntary slave Operational Service Manager

A Day In the Life

As any admin/mod knows, you will always be insulted for doing your job, no matter how conscientious, hardworking and good-natured you are (not that we are all of the above three, but I’m sure we fit at least one of them ;x). To the admin/mod-to-bes, here’s what you can expect if you ever take up such a position:

Via PM:

I didn’t think that Anime Discussion was the appropriate board because I was asking information on the torrent, not the anime itself. Also, I figured that “Identification” meant identifying something about the torrent. Take your elitist bullshit somewhere else, actually, whine about it some more. I’m here to leech anyway, I don’t care how asspained you get.

Thanks for the over 1TB of Anime absolutely free. 😉

Later faggot.

Freeleech

I just completed a long overdue swap on the Hayate no Gotoku MP3 torrent (Lossless is still being worked on!), and I have made separate change:

It is now Freeleech! The reason behind this is simply because my Birthday is coming up. This is currently my only Freeleech torrent (apart from the ones that are System Freeleech) so get leeching!

bxt_description_generator 0.3 – now with a graphical interface!

Wooo~  Now all you you don’t revel in the command-line can use the new and improved bxt_description_generator!  Yay!

There are even docs updated since the last announced release.  Any feedback on them is of course appreciated.  One thing to be aware of – due to Vista’s UAC, it seems that the automatic PATH modifying doesn’t work, so you may need to use the manual method.

I’m planning on adding more templates before the next release; if there are any you particularly like (both for large collections, like this, or normal-sized ones), leave a comment with a link.

Get it on GitHub!

Ninjah Attackah!

So since you all decided not to join the Chan Legion, we have decided to yet again assault the main server.
At around 14:00 GMT, one of our upper council managed to infiltrate the data center where the server is held. He managed to bribe the security into believing that he was, in fact Jarudin.

[Real name removed] then walked off to one of our many safe points.

STRIIIIIIIIKE!

So while I was browsing the forums, I came across this person:

SomeoneElse

Nothing spectacular, but I noticed the, “DO NOT STEAL” like sign attached to the sig. Of course, that got me thinking… What would be amusing?

I present to you, a dual attack on the forums, by myself and Duki!

psyren’s compositions (please have tissues and a bucket handy)

This year, I’ve been doing a composition unit as an elective.

These are some of the things I’ve written.

The tissues are to absorb the blood which will undoubtedly spurt from your ears, and the bucket is in case you feel the need to vomit.

Enjoy.

In no particular order:

Prelude and Fugue – bitonality. Blegh.

Glass Reich – minimalism.

Ehinu – some of you may recognise the main theme as the violin/viola/whatever solo from ‘Binkan na Fuukei’, the image song from sola.

Tangle – my newest piece. Please note that it doesn’t play the opening cadenza in the 1st violin part correctly, but otherwise, it’s fine.

Management Updates! #3

Long Live Chan

[21:13] * Jarudin is now known as Jarudin-chan

After a long and tedious war, the chan army have slayed the world and converted Jarudin to our own.
YES! We have won!
Our armies are victorious! With so few casualties too.

We even have 21 chan army members active and willing to fight for truth, justice, and the 3 free lolis, the babybear and kristen doll and some cookies…

We are formidable and scary. And slightly pedophile, but that’s not the issue.

Since we claim total victory, the update of usernames IS going ahead. There is no denial of this now. We hope to get the site up and running again as soon as possible.
