Is ANN the worst anime site on the internet?
Lupin:
Yeah, I know about that. That's why I don't vote. Good groups are overrated. I still don't know how downvoting a group cancels out the perfect 10s it got from others. The vote calculations aren't based on averages in the first place.
I know the anti-Chihiro bias but I don't think you should blame that on AniDB. More likely, it resulted from the bad name you got from your older releases. It's like that example you made with Eclipse. They have great reputation coupled with decent (at the very least) subs released in a timely manner. The name alone can produce high votes. Just continue improving. Your latest projects are gaining higher votes now right?
The votes are just numbers coming a few hundred people, probably less than 1% of the total people watching a group's subs.
kristen:
Well, ratings are improving slightly, but not at a rate they should be. *Shrugs*
Fansub ratings based off of anything other than comments about what was right/wrong about a sub are stupid. >.<

l just browsed through ANN website, checked a few things, here is my honest opinion:
in terms of information provided, it's not bad, a lot of good info, but in terms of site structure, my eyes hurt, they cry, seriously, l've seen many badly structured sites, and ANN is one of them, too much garbage makes it trash site.
still information found on it is good, so my overall rating of that site is at best 4-

Kristen, you should ignore the ratings. Honestly, if you do focus on ratings or if you give them your attention then you'll most likely lose your goal ... which is fansubbing. I mean, I know there are groups (a whole bunch of them) combat each other to see who is better than who. I honestly don't think Eclipse is TEH BESTTH out there. I just like them because of their pure animation and encoding (smooth videos) their translation is at its best (of course they leave out some minor things I always tend to pick up on), rather, a lot of fansubs do that. I honestly think you should just ignore it, you guys as Chihiro improved a lot so you're getting a lot of vouches from us. You should be proud of that, I mean a lot of people are noticing you guys are a speed quality subs (was it?). I'm not gonna watch something from DarkSubs or whomever they're called, they're extremely horrible to what I heard. Just don't look at the rates, rather focus on how to improve. Management level if you know what I mean ;]
I think I'm gonna make a Chihiro cheerleading banner now. Lol.

I hope that's out of 10. ;P
iindigo:
If one can't reliably judge fansub quality based on group ratings, how can one find the best release without playing the first episode from 4564367 different subbers?
