From Commie leader RHE
Nyaatorrents might have close to a million servers no wait who am I kidding they have one. They also have something like 13,000 staff no, nope, more like 20. We have one (and a half?) servers and 30ish staff.
BUT THAT ISN’T THE POINT(1)
Commie is the #5 hell if I know site on the web and serves a hundred thousand this I do know! people every month plus a bunch of dudes who never visit the site/stream/insert other atrocities here – with an average of 1.75 pageviews per person
BUT THAT ISN’T THE POINT HERE EITHER(2)
Commerce is fine evil. Advertising is not evil no, wait, actually I’m pretty sure it is.
But it doesn’t belong here. Nobody clicked on them when they were up for like a month.
Not in Commie. Also I’m not filing no tax reports.
Commie is something special (we’re all autistic). It is like a library filled with stolen books or a public park parking lot. It is a place we can all go to think about chinese cartoons, to learn about chinese cartoons, to share our knowledge about chinese cartoons with other people who care about chinese cartoons.
When I founded Commie I didn’t, but imagine if I did, I could would liked to have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different mainly because aforesaid is seriously Not Possible- trust me if there was some way to make a living subbing chinese cartoons I would have dropped out of school a long time ago. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. This sounds overly gay. We fulfill our mission, and leave lay waste to others.
Now if everyone reading this donated $20, we would only have to fundraise for one day a year be rolling around in so much cash. But not everyone can or will donate. Seriously, rolling in cash. And that’s fine.No, it really is. Each year enough people decide to give us a lot of headaches
This year, please consider making a donation of $5, $25, $625, or whatever you can another power of 5 preferably higher than 4 to protect feed and sustain clothe Commie.
Thanks,

I forget what the point was, but I think it had something to do with sarcasm.
I would donate but
Maria where you fuckers?
Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 95 staff.
Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 450 million different people every month – with billions of page views.
Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn’t belong here. Not in Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others.
When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.
If everyone reading this donated €5, we would only have to fundraise for one day a year. But not everyone can or will donate. And that’s fine. Each year just enough people decide to give.
This year, please consider making a donation of €5, €10, €20 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.
Thanks,
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia Founder
lol, u got them dead. Still, donating wouldn’t be too bad. 1st, pleassee make it Japanese cartoons.. Seeing chinese there irks me a bit to be honest..
aa
So you guys need a new Yacht too, like Jimbo?
If everyone reading this donated $25,
we would be rolling around in so much cash.
If everyone read that bright blue banner that looked like an advertising and mistook it for an advertisement with one look it would all be in vain…
So you get the joke?
I think you’re like, the only one that hasn’t taken it 100% seriously.
No I was saying they should have just make a normal post: It really looks like an advertising banner…
And well, I’m a bit tight here too so even if I wanted to donate, I won’t have anything TO donate.
Hey, jdp, it looks like he didn’t get the joke.
Actually, I believe he did.
However, the banner does look serious at a first glance, and is rather off-putting as well. God knows there are fansub groups asshole enough to ask for a pile of cash with a straight face. Myself, I would tweak the banner just to avoid the unfortunate first impression, joke or not. Not everyone will click and read it, and they won’t get to know your subtle and ingenious sarcastic ways.
Actually I do…
But like the one in Wikipedia, it looks like an advertising banner.
Unlike Wiki’s though, this one doesn’t have the “from Commiesubs” mark so it contributes to more of that “advertising looks” which makes people dismiss reading the whole thing.
wait wait wait. Your donation bar says 400 dollars. Did you really earn 400 dollars from this?
el oh el
Where’s the donate button? I think I still have lyke three bunks in my bank account.
On the right.
Hey, guys.
Can I have, like, 20 bucks?
You might get some more responses in you include a picture. I’m kind of on the fence of whether I want to feed/clothe commie. Are you a fat bastard? are you a hawt lady?
Odd are you are some scrawny nerd who needs food any nobody wants to see your pasty ass naked, but I need a picture to be sure.

OH I see what’s going on here, it’s the steam autumn sales! Of course that explains it! That’s probably also the reason for the wikipedia donation request.
I donated $60.
MIRAI NIKKI FUCKING WHERE?!
You jackwagon.
$495 donated, wow since when were jokes and sarcasm so profitable 0.0 I wonder if people really took this seriously when they donated.
The lulz make people donate
Indeed. The last time I gave somebody random on the streets money (you know these guys, that ask for some money for whatever reason), was because the guy got out a perfect New Yorker’s accent in the midst of Bucharest. It was fun, thus I gave him 10 bucks, or so.
This gave me a good chuckle. Also reminded me to add a new entry to my list of folks to support once I’m out of school and (hopefully) have the money to do so.
Unfortunately, for the time being, the best I can offer is my heartfelt thanks for all the work you put in to bring us quality translations of Chinese cartoons in a timely fashion. You guys are awesome.
You guys are really rollin in cash right now. Have fun with that.
Commie’s gonna have a good Christmas this year.
Well, they would if they celebrated Christmas the same as us, but as we all know it’s just capitalist propaganda.
Protip: It stopped being a joke when you actually took their money.
And you are a professional at taking other people’s money, yes? What are you tipping anyways?
If you’re talking about fansubbing, I haven’t seen a dime from it.
As for how much I tip, it’s between 15 and 50 percent, depending. I’m not really a fan of the percentage system, I must admit. 40% on a $13 pizza isn’t exactly in the same league as 15% on a $90 tab at some shitty chocolate restaurant.
I mean, I understand that these tips are used to calculate peoples’ salaries, but I don’t see much justice in paying the chocolatier a $14 tip for a meal in which they visited our table twice. The pizza girl spent far much more time to get here and then she had to drive back too.
In that regard, I find today’s tipping system to be somewhat fucked up. Why not a straight amount (with varying ranges depending on the situation) and let the -starred restaurants deal with their fucking percentages?
But alas, tis not something I can change on my own. I could have suggested a $5 tip for the chocolate place, but then I’d be seen as the cheap guy and probably get mocked as a Mr. Pink-type character (though Mr. Pink had far different opinions on the subject, mind you!) by everyone. And walking out of a chocolate restaurant with an ounce less class than you had walking in isn’t exactly an ideal situation.
Why give people a tip when they are only doing their job which they get paid for already? Do you give the mailman money whenever he delivers a package to your house?
Nah, it’s an American thing. There are certain things you are culturally required to tip for.
People who deliver you food, waiters at sit-down restaurants, concierges, taxi drivers, etc. The list goes on and on.
Generally a tip is 15-20% of the base service. There are other factors which may inspire you to tip more or less, but that’s pretty much the expected amount.
Again, it’s a cultural thing, not a legal thing. So it’s not technically required, but… you do it anyway because that’s how it is.
> American thing
well well well…
la li lu le lo…
well Dark_Sage-kun if you were like B on whiners.pro maybe you’d get some tip. but since you are fail subs, it’s expected you make like dirt money.
And why did you suddenly switch to chocolate and pizza? how is that even relatable to fansubbing?
I take all your postings with a grain of salt you communist nazi, but chinese cartoons is pushing it.
at least you did not write chinese porn cartoons.
Now, if you had wrote japanese or asian cartoons, I would have put another washington into your account.
I meant jackson, did look on the wrong bill. I don’t know usa’s presidental history, too. heck, I don’t even have my own country’s presidents memorized.
Gonna do the programmer’s personal appeal too?
Personally, I’d replace the Miku image with Costanza.
I think I’ll donate next month, the Communist Nazis made too much money this month.
Is that Miku image on Danbooru?
I ask as well. Where I am its also the normal thing to do for some reason, but I can’t understand why I must tip someone who is just doing their job? I usually pay the exact amount and when I tip its just so that I don’t wait for change, giving them about R0.05 which is about $0.009
Do the programmer!
jimmy’s donation scheme is becoming a meme. :D
Hi, I’ll donate but first I want to see your tits. Yes, you RHExcelion.
I’ll be sure to donate to you guys on 2 conditions.
1. That I get a farkin job after grad school in this economy, and
2. You guys are still around. I’ve come to really respect you guys for your consistency. Love the 720P uploads, would be even more impressed when 1080p becomes more common.
Meanwhile, kudos. Counting my budget and hoping/praying I have enough saved up for summer. :/
