I'm sure we'd all like to know~ XD (And it be fun to see how everyone got here!)
For me, it was Black Bird and all those recruitment pages~ (And my lurking-ness of course. XD) I wanted to give back to the scanlation community, so I joined! ^_^ And after that I fell in love with the atmosphere and how friendly everyone was.
How about you?
Blackbird for me too, Kenketsu Rush and Shibariya Komachi. I admit that I was one of those people who only wants to join so they can get to read the scans first, that and I felt like a lump for reading and not helping a group who was scanlating several projects I like.
I felt bad for being a terrible leecher... So I went and searched for a scanlation team to join.
I had read loads of Transcendy completed works and I applied, I was in a smaller scanlation group as well at first, but sadly we broke up when our leader went back to rl. So I became a full time transcendy staffer :)
Also because the BB :love:
at first i was just an ordinary otaku, looking around, searching the atmosphere and then all went so fast i don't even remember, just that i was really excited
and i'm really glad i joind, i learned a lot and i't fun and i like the job that i'm doing for some wird reason ^^
hanging around on the irc. guess it was one of those make-the-transcendence-channel-a-tira-fanclub-and-see-what -happens moments
My sister reads a lot of shoujo and I normally read a lot of shounen but she urged me to read some shoujo as well (to widen my horizons, she said xD) so I began reading that and I saw recruitment pages and voila. That's how I joined. :)
Black Bird!
I wanted to see the releases faster plus I kind of figured it was time for me to give back to the manga scanalation community for all my years of leeching. ;3
I had a good tablet, a good photo editing program, and lots of knowledge from working on photo manipulations so there really was no reason not to!
And now everything I've learned from transcendence helps me editing photo manips and working on photograph pictures ;3
Black Bird for me as well... and I have a lot of free time at the moment, so I wanted to do something other than just read^^
O.O lots of BB fans here... *hadn't heard about it before Transcendy*
I have a feeling that there is actually another thread like this somewhere in the forum. o-o
Anyways; I don't mind repeating my answer, but for me its fun.
I love mangas; I don't care who they are; I just love how this group is more active and organize than any other groups; except the fact this group is a bunch of girls than guys.
Got lured in to the irc channel with promise of an harem
And got lured in by false advertizing, eh Goldenrod? :=D:
yes iam a little disapoint :'( also got a typo in your text. its golden god.
Hahaha, but isn't that the best way? :woohehe:
it's cuz i'm a manga lover that i decided to join :goodjob:
plus i was thinking of joining a scanlation group when suddenly the word "transcendence" popped into my mind :=X:
it's destiny I tell you :o_o:
I came because I saw I could be trained as a cleaner, I stayed because I fell in love with the group :love:
We all love Trascendy~ :love:
:love: :love: I wish more people were active, do you think it'd be possible to send inactive staff pleas to return to us?
I doubt they can... RL is evil and stole them from us...
woot, who is RL, let's head over there and beat them up!
*hands bat and points*. That way, good luck!
:heeee: *plonk plonk whack whack whack*
phew~
Good job blobby
^^ now will they be returning to us?
I shall pray and hope.
....This topic was revived? :o_o:
yes. it is.
blame angel for this. It's all her fault. *sneaks away*
LOL well... she doesn't seem suspicious... *points at the uniblob sneaking away* :hmmm:
It is all the uniblobs fault! *points at dissapearing uniblob*
hahaha :=X: *joins in centering blob
I chose transcendence because I wanted to join a scanlation group and I liked the website xD
:goodjob: krissy, distract them more :=D:
*points at laughing blobby*
You're still the guilty part here.
You did revive the thread by posting in it first though :swt: I just responded
Not true, I have discovered the shocking truth behind the revival of this thread. The guilty party is Paupau!!! :omg:
I just posted. you guys continued it :yawn:
Which means you admit the charges :hmmm:
Guilty +1 vote
What does the defendant plead?
Representing the defendant, blob v2:
You're honor, the defendant did ressurect the post but only to reply to it, as she states her reasons for what brought her to Transcendence. We believe that the real culprit lies with the first person to veer off the topic. That would be Angel-san for the "We all love Transcendy~" post which does not answer the post. Therefore the defendant pleads not guilty because the accuser is more guilty than the defendant.
Representing the Jury, blob v1:
Guilty +2 Votes
Representing the Judge, Angel~:
Due to serious grammar mistakes the representative of the defendant has been dismissed from this court.
The judge himself, blob:
I don't need a representative, angel dismissed.
the supreme goddess herself, Angel:
I dismiss all of you! case closed.
who was guilty?
Blobby.
Balderdash!! False accusations!
I only speak truth!
LIEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Prove it.
why do you guys fight in every post ???
I'm not complaining, its hilarious to watch! ^_^
*munches on popcorn*
Because I'm right, we fight.
*throws some popcorn at blobbity*. Admit.
See, she's too headstrong to admit she's wrong! One day you'll look back on these posts and you'll be like... sorry I was wrong~~~@_@
I'm not headstrong, I'm just right and willing to defend that fact.
:swt:
Right Liapoo~~? :heeee:
:phew:
...
...
...
:pray:
Translation:
That either means:
1.) I'm not getting involved in this
or
2.) They're both wrong, seriously
or
3.) Man I wish they'd stop arguing already
I think all of them~
wanna call a truce then? On all forum posts from now on, and the chatbox, we will be not hostile to each other.
:dignose:
Hm, I'd say a temporary truce, we won't know what will happen in the future :hmmm:

Seems like we made Liapoo happy~
yup, and i'm on mom's side *skip
wait.. what about me? :missball:
I believe I told you before blobbity: they love Liapoo, not you :woohehe:
aawww, I love you too dad :love:
PAUPAU IS TOO CUTE. :o_o:
:o_o: Paupau~
You know I was thinking... Isn't this thread kind of the same thing as writing your autobiography in the history thread? Not that I'm complaining... I want to read more autobiographies. *w*
now that you mention it...yeah :swt:
Maybe you should write one first before complaining about others... :hmmm:
...B-but I wasn't complaining! :'(
(But you still have to write one too, Angel Poo. ^_^)
But you started this Liapoo, so please set the right example *skip
*sigh* But Angel Poo... I don't want to write a whole story about myself... T_T
Go Lia!! *skip
do unto others what you want to done to you :hmmm:
so do yours and we'll do ours :goodjob:
*sigh* okay...
Maybe when I get home...
Not "maybe", love.
You mean "definitely".
Fine, Poo.
I'll see if I can scrounge something up...
Atta girl.
:crywithno:
Emotes will grant you no pity! *laughs evilly*
true :swt:
I don't remember what I wrote before & not sure if I even posted. O_O
I fell in love with one of the mangas that was scanlated.
actually ironically enough i think it was black bird that brought me here, even though i hate on black bird like no other because the plot (and frankly misao - that's her name, right?) really pisses me off... and kyo... -_-
BUT i do really love switch girl and natsume yuujinchou! natsume yuujinchou is probably one of my favorite series right now, though :))) and i got really excited when i found out they were recruiting proofreaders because that's the only job i can do LOL /shot
LOL soraa~ Join the club of blackbird recruits! :goodjob:
wha-? BB still recruiting? i though the the staff was already completed ???
nonono, she means "join the people who also joined because of black bird" xD because there were a LOT...
Meeeeeee! (and SK and KR...)
Hehehe not me, I feel all special :woohehe:
BB has enough fans. I'll go for other manga's that need me *h3r0
Gogogo~ Transcendy has tons of good ones.
*Major Joou no Hana fan* :love:
Go Joou no Hana~ :love:
I need to get those missing TLs :crywithno:
You lucky poo! Gah, I'd kill to have it as my project T_T
Eh why? I'd rather read it and not work on it.
You would want to work harder on it and get it out faster? And it's nice to work on a project you are passionate about~ <3
I never read anything I work on. I just think "I've seen this enough. I don't want to read it"
:omg: You don't feel the need to help your project out?
I do but i stop reading once i start helping out :swt:
WHAA?
But aren't you technically reading by helping out? ???
Dunno. I lose interest in the series for some weird reason. That's why I never got around to reading NY even after two years of working on it :swt:
Well I understand what you mean, especially when you work on chapters out of order.... Cause when I have to skip a chapter and work/read ahead, I lose motivation to read the previous chapters... :swt:
Ugh... I prefer working on things I've never read.
But when you TS, isn't it nice to know what's going on? :3
sometimes. Sometimes, I'd rather not know coughbbcough
LOL well I understand... Right now Misao and Kyo are just... T_T
I don't actually read the end result after I PR JnH...
I guess since I already know what happens, I read it already :3
Gah that's really lucky! I think the QCers have it best though, they get the first version of the final product xD
:=D:
True, but in return they have to nitpick about every single thing
Not that that's necessarily hard... xD
But a downside to that is that it becomes habit fairly quickly so I normally find myself making QC notes in my head while reading manga and stuff... I'd think things like "oh man, I'd word this differently" or "dust - clean it!" or "eh, typo". Like a neverending job that never really goes away. >.>
Then again, that's just me.
Same withPRing my friend...
LOL
I think anyone that does any scanlating does that :swt:
It's one of the side effects of scanlating...
dude, so true. when i read manga i'm always thinking, "hmm, i wouldn't have worded it like this" or "this proofreading is TERRIBLE" (cough mangapanda cough) and it always bothers me a lot... :vomit:
I loath it when they have a bad PR, I have to correct everything in my head and that degrades the story a bit for me...
LOL for me, it's "Gah... I hate that font", "Yikes, thats horrible shaping", "Look at all the dust!", "They need another clone source...", "They forgot to stroke the text", "This is so overlevelled"!
*sigh* Not that I'm the best editor either lol cause I for sure am not... But you just start to notice...
Yes, but it does show that you love your editing/PRing/QCing/etc
True but it totally ruins what you're reading when you see a bunch of random errors.
Surprised no one mentioned "this bubble is not centered!" or maybe I'm just a bit obsessive about centering bubbles :swt:

So true
I totally forgot about centered text... that's the worst. :crywithno:
yeah, the worst I've seen, is when the text is too big for the bubble, it's obvious, why are they going so far to use stroke?!! why not just downsize it and put it in the freaking bubble. It's there for a reason!!
^Wow... that actually happens? >.>
:vomit: Yes, it does. It's even worse when the scans are nice and the TS was just...just...
*leaves for the bathroom
It must be harder for the QC's to read not so nicely released chapters... :swt:
Yes... I can imagine...
Oh the horror...
>:(
:crywithno:
*dead
Damn the bad scanlations...
:phew:
:'(
I think we can ALL agree that the good scans played a part in us being here.
Yes, more than a part, a BIG part. :goodjob:
agreed~ *skip
yay~<3
I'd like to think so. xD
What brought me to Transcendence: stalking my best friend. ^___^
LOL that's how? And you randomly popped in the cbox one day? xD
Yes, pretty much. XD
That's pretty awesome~ Are you involved in scanlation too? xD
Yes, I am. :) I'm a PR/QC for a scan group right now. ^__^
Hehehe... maybe we can convince you to come to the dark side Transcendy and QC with bishie poo here~
:heeee:
Ahahaha, oh no. I'm not a machine like Christian. I'm barely keeping up with my PR/QC projects. ^_^; -sucks at balancing procrastination and studying-
Aww... Me too dear...
Maybe one day we will convince you. >:3 We need the QCers.
how hard could it be? 100% procrastination is the way to go :goodjob:
The deadlines are not that strict around here~
But as soon as everyone is reshuffled.... They will be stricter!
I know... Everything has been super lax with a load of people gone, but it will get harder... :swt:
I hear the deadline is going to be two weeks soon! ^^;; Plus with the anni next year we'll be working really hard~
Two weeks per chapter or two weeks per person?
Per chappie? Ionno xD But you have nothing to worry about krissy poo. Super speedy editor o.o
Wow...that is seriously fast!! *dead
We'll survive! *dead
Or die trying *h3r0
:=X: That too...
I don't wanna dieeeeeee :crywithno:
And hence, we pick survival! ^_^
That is a good choice indeed...
Hmm... sort of back on topic?
I'm glad the forum is reviving! I hope we get more newbies soon! I like seeing the cbox filled every once in a while! :3

Thank you for the offer/suggestion(?) but I think I'll live longer if I don't take on any more projects. XD The scan group I'm in is a speed group. >__>"
OH. Yikes.
Never mind, that's understandable! *Alis escapes by a needle's width* :swt:
But we can hope. ^_^
As long as there is hope, there is life~

So true my love

I met everyone on Transcendence... on here. :D
</not very touching story>
^ aww vauxy
I also met everybody here at Transcendy...
:o_o:
How do i be come an editor i really want to help with the manga just tel :o_o:l me how to be come one.
Just make a new thread in the recruitment section! :goodjob:
read 'lovely everywhere' and applied on a whim~
Great whim :goodjob:
right?! and i've been hooked ever since...
Transcendy will do that to a person *skip
chatango + forum = too entertaining
Indeed! Too entertaining... >.> >_<
:noway: I don't remember... :touched:
And nielle, I worked on lovely everywhere when it came out, so I'm pretty happy that you were lured by my honeyyy trap :woohehe: #sorta
The first time I came to know the existence of Transcendence was of Ryuu no Hanawazari, though I didn't join or visit the website till earlier of this year. (I used to be a 100% pure lurker or should I say leecher)
^ Me too. Back then I was so uneducated about where manga online really came from or how much work it took.
I really appreciate it now! Especially the groups who doing real HQ stuffs like us xD
