So sorry....
But this has to be done. Despite the date, I am as serious as a heart attack.
The timing isn't very good, but I need to make a serious announcement.
Thanks to Ringo scans, I will no longer be posting Gintama translations to LJ or Mangahelpers. You guys will just have to make do with the raw until someone comes along to edit them. I've stated THOUSANDS of times that I do not want these scantlated until someone proofreads them, and these guys still took it upon themselves to totally ignore what I said. So, starting with this week's lesson (303) I will not post any Gintama translations until someone with a high level (this is key, I don't need a translator as crappy as me coming to help.) knowlege of Japanese comes to edit them. Kewl is doing the best he can, but he has a life and other manga that he wants to read//translate//scantlate. If someone who knows their Japanese well and loves Gintama is willing to help out, I will continue posting translations. Otherwise, no more until kewl gets to edit them. (And he just sent me 295, so you guys have a looooong wait.)
Please be sure to thank Ringo scans. ^^
BTW if you guys haven't noticed, I have an extra 'D' now. Although it was because I failed to be myself that I ended up getting that ranking, I still feel like I have a long way to go. Scantlators, if you want to use my translations....I don't mind or anything, but I don't want your reputation to be shot....so please, and I beg you, get someone else to edit anything I do. I'm fairly confident that I can get a higher ranking with some training, but for now....yeah. I kind of want to withdraw from translating like Shrimpy did; I need to focus on learning the language...but unlike Shrimpy, I don't have anyone to pick up my series while I'm on sabbatical. So I'll keep going, but please please please have someone with Japanese knowlege look over my work if you can.
As for the no posting thing, Aku and the other series I translate will be posted normally. This announcment is for Gintama only. BTW, Hajimete no Aku is now reserved to Simple and Hyena scans. If anyone else uses them, expect yet another announcement like this for that series too.
Thank you for supporting me everyone. I'm sorry it had to come to this, but you know how it works. One person's selfishness ruins everyone else's happiness. I have to do this though, or else no one will respect my wishes.
