Lol, seriously? If you truly think that, there's no point in talking. Anime fansubers will ALWAYS work on the PC for the PC. If users don't want to use the PC anymore, that's their problem.

Lol, seriously?!
1080p rips, whatever colour bitrate, whatever overall bitrate, would never even exist if the fansubbed audience wasn't using HDTVs and projectors and whatnot hooked up via vga/hdmi/dvi to their pcs/notebooks/netbooks/tablets (yeah, even those have tvouts nowadays). Can't see the diff between 720p and fullHD on those 20" screens desktoppers use, much less on on 13-17" laptop screens that can't even display all them pixels.
Check out tvrips of US dramas. Good luck finding even 480p widescreen rips with more than a handful of seeds there. Why? Cause THOSE people DO watch on their PCs and their hardware players.
Btw, the real reason we have such support for the C slot isn't old PC hardware, as the 1080p Hi10p crowd is saying - it's slow-to-catchup hardware players, tablets, pocket media players, upscale cellphones, etc.

So, we owe 1080p rips to PCs which in your opinion are dead? I guess most of us are necromancers then, bringing our PCs back from the grave in order to write posts and watch anime.
Unless you claim to be psychic and know the mods thoughts, what do you base your claim for reason of the support for the C slot, considering the fact that you weren't even registered at the time when the slots appeared(unless your account was pruned)? Find me one post from a mod where they say that C slot is for little plastic toys, if you can.

I'm saying 1080p is popular because people hook up their devices to big screens, not monitors. The monitor crowd likes 720p.
I never said anything about what mods think. I don't even see how that's relevant. Threads like this one seem to show that administrative decisions are made taking what the public wants into account.
I was talking about POPULAR support for Slot C. It's there because people want it to be there. And people want it to be there for compatibility reasons.
tyrionlannister:
Do you have any basis for your first claim regarding TVs/monitors or are you just projecting your personal situation?
In case you're not aware, this isn't a democracy, and the slots decision, as far as I remember wasn't taken after a public consultation. What the mods are doing now is just a favor to the community, and don't think that the poll results are going to compel them into doing something that they think is wrong. As the thread has shown, there are plenty of ignorant persons, and I don't mean that in a pejorative sense, that simply aren't up to date on the terminology and technical aspects of 10-bot/8-bit encoding, and so can't be relied upon to make an informed decision.
Again, unless you were present when the slots decision was made, you can assume all you want but you won't be right. "The people" that you refer to are the mods, so don't think that the popular decision will mean too much.
Edit: IMHO 1080p is popular because people have always had the irrational belief that the the bigger it is, the better it is. On BakaBT, an obvious additional reason for the popularity is the freeleech. Before freeleech for 1080p, there were relatively few people willing to sacrifice their ratio for it.
