If you are in anyway offended by what is said in the latter part of this post…
I don't really care.
To complainers of the server: WAH WAH WAH WAH. Cry me a fucking river
please because I seriously won't be bothered with what you have to say. Do you
run this site? No. Do you moderate this site? No. I'm fine with suggestions
and all, but when you complain about a site that is so generously letting you
leech off of it when you get to a small level of 10, you sir/miss, are an ass.
This site is not on any type of professional server, this is basically run by
a group of friends who try and keep it alive. So every time you complain with
'Oh it's so sloooow', 'why does it take so long to looooaaaddd?' why don't you
look how many people are hitting this site a day. Our average is around
350-400 USERS A DAY-- CONSTANT. And WELL over 330,000 individual impressions a day. That's why it's slow,
that's why it takes so long.
And what are most of them doing? LEECHING. Take a look at the bottom of the
gallery page and compare the users viewing that to the amount of viewers
utilizing the forums-- it's at least twice the amount. And if you're sooo
worried about it being so slow because your connection is so uber, DONATE! We
just upgraded the server not two months ago, and because of that we've
obtained more members than we had expected. So to get the site going faster MT
needs money. But do we charge you for the awesome walls? The awesome scans?
And the awesome works of art by talented artists? No, we don't. We charge you
zilch, nada-- because we're nice (for the most part). So basically you're
getting one of, if not THE, biggest gallery of original and high quality works
of art. We're not saying you HAVE to pay, but it's nice to get a few bucks for
a server that is way overloaded. And if you don't like the slow speed, LEAVE.
To complainers of the mods: SHUT UP. The mods are what keep the place
sane when you think of it. Wouldn't you be pissed off if your scan was in the
gallery three billion times and you couldn't do anything about it? This is our
job, and we get over 200 reports a day, so we can't exactly pick and chose our
favorites to keep, it's just not the way it works. We see which scan is bigger
and has better quality and delete the lesser, and if you can't deal with that
LEAVE. And to those who say we're mean and give no one a chance, just
seriously shut up. When people basically challenge a mod to ban them, what
should a mod do? Ban them. If we weren't hard on you guys I guarantee the
gallery would be overrun by people trying to take advantage of our kindness--
so the mix of mean/nice mods comes into play. And frankly, speaking for the
"meaner" mods, we really don't care if you don't like us. It's not our fault
you can't cope with people having better scans than you that you most likely
didn't even scan yourself. And you say we close your threads? Well when we've
had fourteen of the same thread, we REALLY don't need another one. It's not
that hard to search the forums for a thread to see if it's already there...
especially if it's a common thread.
Do you seriously think your the first to come up with the "Sub/Dub war?"
"Favorite Car?" "Favorite Anime/Manga/Game?" "Most Anticipated Game?" You're
not! MT has been around for a bit over 3/4's of a year, so I guarantee you
we've already had the thread that your genius brain is conjuring.
To the rippers: GET.A.LIFE. Seriously, are you so stupid to think we
won't figure out that we've already had this wall? Especially when you rip the
most favored wall IN MT. Come on, we're not stupid. And would you PLEASE read
the rules? It's right there in it, it says: No ripping. And there is no such
thing as an "Exception to ripping". Ripping is ripping no matter how you look
at it. You take someone else’s wall that you didn't make-- ripping. You take a
wall from a site that has gone MIA-- ripping. You take a wall of a well-known
member/moderator of MT-- ripping AND banning. And it servers you right if you
get banned, you ripping prick. It takes, on average, for a good wall to be put
out at least 4 hours. That's four hours we could be spending elsewhere and
doing something else. NO we spend our time making beautiful walls for the
members and public of MT. But no, you think "OMFG TIHS WLAL IS TEH
KEWLEST!11!! LEME POUST IT ON DIS STIE RITE HUR CUZ I DUOBT TEH MKAER SOHWS
HIZ WURK HUR!!!!!11!!!" Yeah, once again...get a life. Just the IDEA of
ripping a wall should get your fingers slowly sawed off with a dulled knife
and then force-fed up your ass.
To the spammers: How thick can one's skull get? Did you really think
that spamming the gallery and the forum with the SAME message was a good way
to get levels? Did you think we weren't going to see 28 pages of spam in a
guestbook? Did you really think having your friends were going to make you
'cooler'? Do you really think posting the SAME gallery comment in like 14
different people's gallery was smart? Do you even HAVE a life? I mean, what
goes through your head when you spam? 'Hmm... well I'm too lazy to type while
I sit on my fat ass and look at screen with a Redbull and cheez-its, so I'll
just copy/paste this message over and over and over and...over...and over...
and over and fucking over.' In what community is that EVER acceptable? Are you
a n00b to the internet? Seriously, it's common sense not to be an idiot on a
forum of a thousands of people. You just make yourself look like an ass and an
idiot to everyone else on the site. And if you were thinking we do laugh and
crack jokes at you after your stupid ass was banned... the answer is most
definitely...yes.
To the leechers: I have one word for you: Bandwidth. MT's average
monthly output is OVER 1000GB's.
Seriously, you could at least leave a nice comment on the scan that you
download. Whenever I look at scan's download:comment ratio, it's SO sad
because people don't even give credit to the others who actually scanned the
scan (which is rare `cause most high-level scanners are bitches and just rip
from other sites and paste 'imgboard' at the bottom because they're bitch and
bitchy bitches at that) and took their time to give you a quality high-res
scan. And what's even worse is that most people who download the scans use it
so their right hand can talk to their dick. Out of all the gallery's I've ever
seen of scans, MT's is the most laden with just scans of badly placed women in
scantly clad clothing. Now, I don't mind that, but at least make the scan
useable. If they're missing more that 50% of their body then it's NOT USABLE.
I'd say maybe 1 out of every 100 scans actually gets used for walling. And the
scan to other-art ratio is WAY too low. Scans are submitted every 5 seconds,
while it could take HOURS for another art piece of to be submitted. And that's
because all of the leechers care more about hot anime chicks and not awesome
art.
To the non-english speaking members: Do you see the most common
language on MT? What is it? Anglais? Engirish? Engels? Englisch? Inglese?
Bei-go? Inglés? YES! ENGLISH! I don't really feel like translating something
that I can't read. Why not just do us all a favor and use babelfish,
freetranslation, or any other translating site. I'd rather read poorly
translated English that fucking Spanish. And all of these
spanish/hispanic/latio/what-the-fuck-ever-you-are who submit gallery items
that are rips, screenshots, and other stupid things, open up that god damn
translator and put the rules in there and put it in your language. No one
cares if you're from another country and it's hard to speak English. This is
why we have online translators readily available, to make it easier for us to
communicate with each other. Your Spanish means little to nothing to most of
the members on MT. So seriously, just freakin' speak English. It would greatly
increase the communication and lessen the amount of stupid rippers on MT.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day, here...on MT. =)
