And ImperialX, do you have any real doujins? I mean, the hard copy one. I always carry some with me, so that I can offer anyone who diss me some read...lol. And that's why my enthusiasm wins against all those dissers!
One day, I offered a loli one, and a girl looked at me all weird...luckily she had a crush on me(her friends told me) so she didn't tell anyone...phew...that sure was dangerous.
Yes. Not only do I own doujins, I also own quite a collection of retail manga (and a lot of ecchi ones, for sure ^^). I get a lot of weird looks reading those in public.
You were pretty lucky with that one, I sure know that in NZ lolicon is something that is intolerable by the general public.

Never let any of that bs that those jerks say get to you. There'll always be someone who's against your personal interests.
Absolutely correct. There just happens to be a lot of them over here in NZ.

Just finished reading it. Cool thread (I dunno how I missed it O.o), though I don't feel like I should bump it. I'm usually like g-money. Say half truths and avoid telling too much to people who arent my real friends.
Anyways, we got your back. ^^ Hentai ftw.
Thanks. ^^
I always remember Kyouya (Ouran High School Host Club)'s quote..."Having the people who want to understand you understanding you is enough." during a time like this. That's good enough for me.

Welcome back Imperial. :)
I was wondering where you disappeared off to.
Yeah I'm sorry I posted it in IB. If I posted it in Random you guys probably will have seen it. It's just that NZ's so worthless I didn't think it deserved to increase my post counts. lol.

Welcome back ImperialX. The forums were not the same without you spreading the Haruhi name. :P
Also, great job on the translation, and it's too bad that you don't want to continue scanlating. DX
Well I'm back now, and I know Haruhiism will not die out simply because I'm missing. Have faith!
Regarding the scanlation, it's pretty much the same as what Shaggy said...it took
hours for just a few pages. I really don't want to go through that again. I did it only to show my thanks for the community, and nothing else. Mike's the guy you should see for this stuff.

Sigh...I forgot to gratz you while we're on chat earlier, sorry. Well gratz that you finally win your internets back, being an elder and do the awesome job for translating and scan.
That's OK, it's all good. Right now I'm just thankful that my internet's back and I can see you guys again. ^^ Enjoy the manga.

I think I miss that topic because it was posted during my absence on May, anyway it's sad to know that ppl always dissing and mocking you. Can't think any better quote for this than:

It's very uncreative of me to copy what others said, but these words contains truth. Remember you have friends too, friends that share interest with and understand.
By the way I like the way you pwn people that dissing you; That just proven that words can be harder than fists. They're fucking owned just with your words (wonder if you use your fists instead on them lol)
and finally...
[spoil]Now you're older than me, grow some beard, so you'll look like a real elder lol (it's a joke obviously, once again gratz to you <3>_>) ^_^.
And also thank you for your first scanlation project:D.
Yeah, words do so much more than violence, as proven countless times. Enjoy the manga. :D
And no, I'm not growing a beard. It's too hard to maintain. I'm not as pro as Jake. :)

Oh and Gambler, I think this thread serves enough purpose for it to not be moved to IB? :D
I never thought of moving the thread until you mentioned it. :D
On that note, how come everyone has the impression that I am the one moving threads to the incoherent babbling section? Then again, does that mean my work is recognized? :D
Of course. Your work is definitely recognized. The reason being you're the only mod I've seen working on the forums. As in actual work.
Not saying that any of our mods are lazy though. You guys are all awesome. It's just that I see you the most, so it creates an impression, you see. :)

Jokes aside, welcome back and congratulations on reaching the elder status. I thought you might have busy with the "new" Haruhi episodes.
I watched the Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody 10 times already because I was so excited lol.

Hey welcome back! Now I've got someone to OS war with again. :P
Mac OS X PWNS Windows! :D
OK let's take the rest somewhere else. Let's not go around derailing the thread now. ^^ It's great to see you again. :D

Congatulations.. I wish you more
success.
Wow, thanks. I didn't expect that from you. Enjoy the manga.

Awesome, man. :D
I recently did a bit of first-time scanlating, too (link can be found in my sig, for anybody who cares), and it was so much more work than I thought it would be. Rather, it took so much longer than I thought it would. I thought it's be easier because it was hentai and a lot of it was noises and sex sounds, but it was still troublesome. And I didn't even translate it, just clean and typeset. Still, just so you know, if you ever want to translate anything again, I'd be happy to do the editor thing again and put the words on the pages. All I'd need is a link to download the original and a text document.
Anyways, good to have you back on the forums.
I saw those before, sorry I never left a comment. Good stuff you got there. It takes even longer when you have to do the translation yourself. I seriously doubt I'll ever have the desire to translate again but if you act as editor it will definitely save me a lot of time. Who knows? Time will tell. :D
In the meantime, enjoy the manga and thanks for the welcome back! ^^
Still watching Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's?
EDIT: WOAH, there's a text limit?? Some replies I posted disappeared! I guess I'll have to post some of my replies in a second reply then. Since I can't double post, I'll wait for someone else to post first...
EDIT 2: Thanks Bushido.
