We've recently received a request from beastlover . Here's her message:

We are doing a project on fansubs and would love if you could answer any of these questions if you can. We're in a class on multilingual translation theory in and we're doing a group project on fansubbing processes etc.,how it differs from traditional translation, and how it is received for its target audience. We have very little time for our project so even if you only answer one question then send it back to us ASAP that would awesome!
Thanks so much for helping us and sorry for taking your time.

You can find the survey targeted at fansubs audience here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SUNY90D8
The document includes instructions on how to send back your answers.

The survey only takes 5~10 minutes of your time, so please help this class project as much as you can.
If you feel like spreading it among your friends as well, go ahead ^_^

There's a separate survey for subbers as well. If you're a subber and wish to fill the other survey, please PM us or beastlover and we'll send you the other survey.

Hello (^_^)/

As you probably have noticed, Querbeet Forum has been down for about a month now due to server issues, mainly the server space that our host had bought went bankrupt and closed up shop without giving any warning whatsoever. But, after much waiting and back and forth support ticketing with our host, we are now back online!

This issue has affected the forum in that we have lost some data in the database, with the last backup dating back to the 30th of May. Though, that is partially our fault for forgetting to back up more regularly... Our apologies to anyone who has lost posts and/or registration status.

If you, or anyone you know, signed up post-30th May, please come back and re-register, and tell your friends to do so, too.

The forum is now accessible at the same web address as before: http://querbeet.narese.com/

There are still a few kinks left to sort out after the server move; namely, the time on the forum is wrong, resulting in all posts having the wrong timestamp.
Also, the e-mail isn't working properly; it's sending out the e-mails, but servers such as Gmail & Hotmail are bouncing them back.
Both these issues are under investigation, and we hope to have them sorted ASAP.

We thank you for your patience and hope to see you back at forums again ^_^


A huge thank you to seri-chan for taking care of bringing the forum back to life ♥

Here it is finally!






Sorry it took so long, but we hope you like the final result.

Please note

At 07:34 there's an untranslated text message that appears on a cellphone. We did not translate it because there is not enough time to read it and it would have cluttered the video only.
The important part of it has been translated, but if you want to know the complete contents, click on cut and highlight the following text ( Collapse )


Unfortunately, our main QCer, qnhu, won't be able to continue working on this project steadily due to real life hogging all her time. All of Querbeet wishes her the best of luck with her studies and is always rooting for her! Hopefully we'll be able to do a decent job worthy of Querbeet's name ^____^
