No, I haven't, but I think reading the term just caused several dozen of my braincells to die.

I'll say this much, I am interested in seeing if it does become a rank. But given the title and it could mean, it's anyone guess if it does become a rank.

But I myself made a rank, so of course I would like that be voted on as well.

Wow, I'm actually surprised of the amount of people who support that! I was expectng the other way around, with how the majority of people (who like anime) are like online.

I've seen a trend that's not that good happen of supporters, making us look pretty bad :/

On certain fansub sites I go to (which sub stuff that either has non-existing official english subs, OR the subs can only be seen as a stream/digital download individual episodes) it looks like industry supporters are starting to threaten them since Crunchyroll and Hulu have the series up. The thing is, I don't support stream-only or digital-download only. I love collecting things and I do NOT support things that don't allow you to physically own a copy. Same thing with games (unless it's a PSN indie game or something). Same thing when manga/light novels go Kindle-only I won't purchause...

Discussing the fansubs vs industry debate is one thing, but going out of the way to post "you better watch it!" is something else... It's probably going to push more people away from buying, if anything. The key word is "encourage" NOT "threaten"... It's making us look pretty bad :/

I figured it was appropriate to post it in here...
