Thank You Everyone!

Hey guys, my internet is finally fixed (sooner than I thought), and I'm extremely happy I'm back again. I really missed Fakku while I was away. I'm also happy to say that this is my 1,000th post, making myself (finally) a FAKKU Elder. Speaking of Elder, it has come to me that HE left us in the time that I was away. I'm very sad about this occurrence and HE, if you read this, know that you're amongst the members I respect the most on Fakku. You have my deepest condolence about your problems. Hopefully you can sort them out soon and come back. I anticipate seeing you again. Now onto a brighter subject. July also happens to be my anniversary month here on Fakku. In this year, I've met many new friends and so many people worthy of my respect. This community, starting from our awesome admins and mods to our users, is without doubt the best online community I've ever had pleasure to be a part of. I'm not very good with words, so in this period of time without the internet I felt like I should do something to show my gratitude to everyone here for the fantastic year I've had, as well as to celebrate my new Elder status. Here's my way of saying thanks - my first attempt in a scanlation, "[color=#9D0A0A]Endearing with the sound turned off[/color]", by [color=#9D0A0A]Onizuka Naoshi[/color] (who is one of my favourite artists). It's from his tankobon "Lovable" (which was never fully translated). Link Doing this, to tell you the truth, was not fun at all. This really makes me appreciate the work the FAKKU translation team has to go through for us. When I finished, I still found it hard to believe the hours that I put in for just 10 pages. You guys have my deepest respects for translating for us. I take my hat off for you. Everyone, please appreciate their work. I just went through a tiny taste of what they do - and again, it's very unpleasant. Again, I've never scanlated before (so don't compare me to pro scanlators), and I'll probably never do another translation project again after this. I'm extremely busy with my studies in RL due to Asian parents, as some of you know very well. > < It's just my way of showing some gratitude. I hope you guys will like it. Remember to go to Mike's commission thread if you want anything translated. He's a real pro and his work is awesome, and totally worth the money. That thread honestly needs to be stickied. Oh and Gambler, I think this thread serves enough purpose for it to not be moved to IB? :D EDIT: It seems that a lot of you don't know the reason I wasn't around for two weeks in the first place. Click here to check my farewell thread from before. I'm sorry I posted it in IB. It's just that NZ is so worthless it's not worth posting in Random.

One hell of a comeback.
I must addmit, I tend to look down on them title-earning topics so the quality and additional content this one presents is all the more appreciated.
Grats on earning the title and the fine, fine work you're celebrating it with. Oh, and ... welcome back ^_^

Thanks Das!

You're amongst the few senior users I've yet to have a proper talk with, but I have a lot of respect for you, watching your posts in the past year. Hope you enjoy the manga, and maybe we'll have a chance to talk more in the future?

And thanks for the welcome back. ^^

Hey Imperial, I'm glad to see you again I was wondering where you went off to. If was was at your school I would of beat up that loser who tried to put you down xD. Hope to see more of your Haruhi speculations, since I haven't read the novel.

Spoiler:

FIX'D

I really, really appreciated what you said. Really lol. Thanks.

Anyway, keep watching Haruhi. It's about to get real epic.

Anyway, I don't know you all that well but I've seen you around, and it's nice to have you back all the same. Commented on the scanlation in the other thread.

I still remember you from my Facebook thread. I also remember welcoming you in Meet & Greet. I guess this means we should talk more in the future?

Welcome back ImperialX.
I kinda wondered why you didn't show up lately but glad to see you again^^.

So congratz for your new Elder status (be ready for the beard >_>) ^_^.

And also thank you for your first scanlation project:D.

Nice to see you again Ko-chan. :) I'm sorry about not posting my departure in Random. To me, I don't think NZ deserves a place in Random, it was IB stuff - worthless.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome back. Enjoy the manga. ^^

And I'm not growing a beard (as said before) lol.

Thanks for the welcome Bushido. Man, I really didn't know how much work was needed for that scanlation. We really should show more respect for the scanlator community from now on.

I'm so pissed off that my net broke just before you started your mecha thread. Now all the good ones I know of are already claimed T_T.

And thanks for the rep. :)

Yeah, luckily it all ends well...now she's already able to accept my interests...but well, she still teases me whenever she got the chance...x_x

Still watching Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's?

I'm not watching it on Cartoon Network anymore (slept in a bit, and I'd have to set my alarm to watch it now, and that's too much trouble), but I do have plans to download the fansubbed episodes and watch them. I've never done that with a Yu-Gi-Oh series, so it'll be a new experience.

Well for my Mecha game there's a bunch of good Gundams, etc. left. If you need any help with making an open choice, stop by chatroll and I'll be glad to help you out. =D

Glad to hear your internet got fixed. I share the same feeling about HE, hope he will be back posting in the forum again.

Congrats on being Elder and good job on the scanlation/translation. Rep for that.
