Thoughts?

I read the press statement and DB seems not bothered dont you find that strange

however this has been a trying experience and I'm glad my new cell-mate "Spikes" has been there to comfort me."

Judy Hibertson, said, " I'm glad. This is what they get for their constant trolling. It's just not funny! "

OMG !!! :eek: ... those poor people ... aww >_> ... i hope nothing bad comes out of this thing :( ....
and worst is that they arrest them in such a public place as a convention

[Planeswalker]

Lol...somehow I dont care. They arnt true fansubbers. They held back releases for selfish reasons many times.

[Geta Boshi]

I dont hate them I am fond of them well they are the fastest fansubbers of Bleach and Naruto around . And with DB quality is assured . There are afew Fansubbers I respect they are

- DB

- ShinSen

- Lunar

- Ani Kraze

[Gothic Lolita]

and adding the fact that they stuck with naruto when all the fansub groups dropped it cuz it was getting dubbed .. >_>

[Riekie]

Pretty sad they got arrested at a convention>.> Very lame of the 'police'

[Lilium]

Hmm I don't know whether to believe this or not, since Dattebayo is notorious for pulling tricks on viewers. But I seriously hope it's a joke, and if it isn't I hope nothing happens. I don't care what people say about them, they have been providing us with good subs for both naruto and bleach and i hope everything turns out alright.

[spacecat]

That cell mate line makes me think its bullshit. Oh well I don't really care if it's true or not :p

[Geta Boshi]

Lets wait to see if its true I still remember their April 1st joke :heh:

[Gintoki]

That's just a joke of them. Even if it's true i don't care, since i don't watch any of their releases.

[Nama]

I care. I watch both their Naruto and Bleach fansubs. :(

I hope it's a joke, or if not. . .that nothing crucial happens regarding the subs. . .

[emoloz]

I think its a Joke sounds too stupid to be real. If its real well there you go tbh.

[Shannon]

Oh, that's too bad. But I guess they knew the consequences for subbing a dub-licenced anime before, right?

It says 'YHBT' on the bottom if you highlight everything. o___0
What's that mean?

[Gintoki]

YHBT is their Trademark for making fun out of other people with their low jokes.

You Have Been Trolled

[SBJ220]

I was at the con all this weekend. I wasn't able to attend the Dattebayo panel, but I don't think this is one of their tricks. It would be a little bit bellow the belt even for them. Not to mention the fact that all the BCC staff was on edge the whole time. Otakon staff was fine, but BCC seemed collectively pissed off.

[Gintoki]

Heh SBJ if you haven't noticed yet. The guys from DB are all a bit under the belt. They enjoy to make their fans cry. As if they'd announce it, if it was true.

[SBJ220]

True, I understand that much perfectly. i simply don't like hearing that my source for Naruto and Bleach may possibly go under. Now, I agree that announcing the arrests while not turning off the torrents is suspicious, but meh. I'm going to consider this a valid possibility until they come out and say they were lying.

[Gintoki]

They said the were lying the moment they put the YHBT in their text.

[SBJ220]

Err... there was no YHBT in that entire topic section. I think I get what you're saying, but that thread was posted as if it was meant to be legit. Whether it is or not, is still up for debate of course, but they did not blatantly tell us it was fake. Most time they say "[YHBT] Dattebayo Staff Arrested [Updated]". That is the clue that it's immediately a fake. But, oh well, there's really no need to beat a dead horse, I guess. Whatever happens, happens. Although, I do admit that the fact that their torrents are still active is fishy. That in and of itself does lead me to think it's a bellow the belt blow.

[Gintoki]

It says 'YHBT' on the bottom if you highlight everything. o___0
What's that mean?

So i guess you haven't read all the posts in this thread.

[SBJ220]

Oh, God dammit. There I go and make a total tool out of myself trying to explain the uses of YHBT and all I had to do was highlight everything and there it is. Sorry, Gintoki. I am made of epic fail today. ...God dammit.

[Jhaxe]

I remember the time they said they were going to stop subbing Naruto, but it was a joke, and I picked up on it, but no one would believe me =P And I turned out to be right XD

However, I can't say this didn't make me laugh, even if it's true XD Guess we'll just wait and find out.

EDIT: XP Silly me, I missed the YHBT =P I really should pay more attention before I post anything ><

[StrawberryLover]

That's not funny -.-;

[ForteAnly]

I really don't like Dattebayo and some of their actions when it comes to subbing. I'm glad I get my Bleach sub fix from Flomp-Rumble nowadays instead of them.

[Velius]

Obvious troll. It's DB, everyone should just expect it by now. And if it ever was true, which it isn't, they deserve it for being the asses they are.
