[QUOTE="Ommina_AniDB, post: 587848, member: 91071"] A bit off-topic, and this is more of a general post than directed at you [b]bobtheamazing[/b], but your post made a good springboard. First - let me state in the strongest terms possible that AniDB does [i]not[/i] want personal (re-)encodes added to the database. By their very nature, these have a user count of 'one', and offer nothing to the anime community except cranky moderators. [I]My Anime 2[/I]'s provision of associating unlisted files with episodes should be used in these cases. However, files that are released publicly and have a strong chance to be used by others [i]are[/i] welcome and encouraged. Bonus points for ensuring the metadata for the file is available by running Avdump on them as well. But they really need to offer something to others, not just the person adding the file. PMs welcome if clarification is needed. We now return you to your regularly scheduled support thread, with apologies to [B]lwerndly[/B] and associates for the (mild!) derail. [/QUOTE]
