Paranoia and Yu-Gi-Wank
Hope this is wanky enough (first-time wanker). If not, easily removed.

Within the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom, Jenniyah's Scanlation Site has become fairly well known (or notorious, depending on your point of view). The forums are wanky on a regular basis, but alas, Jenniyah has this annoying habit of deleting primo wank material (with the possible exception of the forum rules -- I recommend viewing #3,4,7,8, and 9). But word came to me that the site had become even wankier, and lo, it had!

I'd verify the following news, but my browser crashes every time I turn on Javascript to see it in its full wanky glory. But I've been told: "She's pretty much disabled all right clicking, makes you go through this acceptance of terms page before getting to the scans, made it impossible to link to any page but that opener one, and has this (insanely distracting!) marquee running at the bottom of the page that prevents you from reading the links urls so you can't even type them in elsewhere."

This is all over nothing more than a few poorly scanned and translated pages of comic, remember. And remember too, YOU ARE ALL FREELOADERS!!

Ooh, careful there. You're coming dangerously close to correcting other people's spelling mistakes, and as we all know, that makes other people very angry.








Except for me, in whom it awakens strange feelings of glee.

And if people who download scanslations are all freeloaders and bad people, why does she HAVE the damned scanslation page? @_@

Ah, the non-right click. Otherwise known as "praying my visitors aren't easily annoyed and can't guess enough to read the source file."

The site doesn't appear to be that annoying, but boy do the rules make up for it. Personal favorite:

"RULE R VERY IMPORTANT "

Rule are good! Rule are leader! Me am Supermod!

*nods* Although this isn't as bad as the linkware clipart sites that use it. (We're supposed to use the clipart...how?) And those who hotlink other people's sites and disable right-click, which has happened to me several times. (Don't want us to right click so we can't see it's stolen?) ;)

You know, you can get banned for a week if you have two offense. The thing is, a week is about how long it takes for a new chapter to be uploaded.

But if you want wank, you should check out the message board for Janime-san's site. Though the topics get deleted pretty often as well.

3) No warning other people of when I change the frames page so they can bypass the index page. If I catch you doing that, I shall PERSONALLY ban you from the forum and set up a password LOCK on the comics page.

4) Do NOT post a message more than ONCE. That means a message w/ the same context once in the entire forum (both boards anime and comments). IF I CATCH anyone posting multiple messages BAN BAN BAN!!!

In Jenniyah's defense, she's ran into more than one idiot in her day. Plus, her site gets the pharaoh's name right, which is a relief. (I'm surprised I haven't been fandom_wanked for that yet. Yea for taking fandom too seriously!)

Erm... wouldn't someone quite easily be able to "steal" her work w/ a decent screen-capture program, despite the right-click-banning?

In any case, you have to wonder at why any self-respecting person would even bother going into a site run by somebody with such a snotty atitude. Why would anyone put up with being called a "freeloader" or "idiot fan" or whatever?

At some point, a person has to throw their hat down, stomp on it, and say "Fuck that." Even the best goods on the internet aren't worth dealing with the bitches in front of it.

7) Don't go around correct other people's spelling mistakes. It makes other people very angry.

But what about grammar?

Can I go around correct other peoples graamer?

To top it all off, I'll bet she thinks the fine folks at Viz are raping "her" manga by translating it every month for American Shonen Jump.

Granted, it'll probably be years before they get around to the current story arc of YGO (and everything else currently running in the magazine), but at least it'll look damn nice once it gets here.

I've never understood why people care if you bypass their splash page. The only reason I've ever heard for it was that it means you bypass the hit counter. Okay, I like to be stalker-y too, but that's going a bit far.

Actually, at least on Netscape the status bar text stops running when the mouse is on a link, I can read them just fine. So, if one bothers to type in an address to get the page out of the frames it's actually possible to read the source and get image paths that way, even if the right clicking is disabled. Of course now the comics pages don't seem to work, but anyway... it's just hard enough that I doubt anyone would bother.

Yes, wanky.

Is Yu-Gi-Oh any good, by the way? I've seen slash based on it, but haven't seen/read any myself...

She also likes banning people who try and offer her advice. She told her staff to virus spam me after she decided I was just there to tear her down [I pointed out that her page was layed out horridly and that people could easily bypass her no right click and that she wasn't gaining any friends by being a bitch.]

She now is telling Janime that I'm a horible disruptive person who's out to get her more or less and that I only started my webpage to annoy her [Kokoro no Naka had been up for many months before I posted in her forum] and is harassing anyone who has connections with my site. She threatened Janime to revoke her affiate status if she associated with people she viewed as 'working' for me.

She also openly admits to not knowing Japanese. She uses bable fish for her translations. So really, nothing on that site is hers at all.

I'mma gonna wait for Viz to get around to translating the AE Arc, or I'll just frickin' do things the hard way with a J/E dictionary and Japense manga, kthx, since I am a grammar/English Soup Nazi Dominatrix Creature and Jenniyah makes my little ass twitch. The girl can't spell worth a toss, she throws hissyfits if someone even looks at her the wrong way, and...good god, BABELFISH is more coherent than she.

I went to her page once, and my eyeballs tried to kill me.

Um. I'm being dead silly here. I'll stop.

But still. (*snerk*)
