Special thanks to the special person who reported and locked the donation account. Hopefully one day, we’ll be able to return the favor.
Oh, and paypal sucks.
What Happened?
Wow i noticed that you guys took that post down, what a faggot.
Cunt.
Also, try MoneyBookers – they don’t give a damn f*ck who you are – HongFire is taking donations via this money service. HongFire is full of fansub and hentai torrents.
Hm, let’s guess…FUNimation?
Also, as somebody who donated, I’d to know: Does that anyhow affect the money you already recived or are you “just” unable to recieve additional donations?
Then this is why the donation post is gone, what a f***ing loser; This is what happens to you when you watch too many hollywood movies (you become a f***ing loser…)!!!
Long live Thoranime!
We are really sorry, about $200 were lost in from donations and we were going close to make our first move.
we cant use the account anymore, we wish to return the money to their owners but we cant do that.
omg what’s the point of ruining people’s time and money? >>
good luck thora
I hate retarded people… Don’t give up thora!!!
I hope this doesn’t bring any harm to the person who own that paypal account.
What happened? Funi took all the money?
Seriously not cool.
Im sure hosting, Seedboxes and buying the blurays cost you alot of money.
Also this is fan money thats just wrong.
I’ve seen this happening on other sites too. Paypal might be cracking down, but my guess was it was bots.
Some ass(es) made an webot that searches links for things like “donate” and “megaupload,” and then reports accounts. Since sites like Paypal do suck, they don’t check they just delete.
On other fansubs sites that have donations, the ones using a secondary site are still fine. One example is Chipin.com. Don’t know if it will work though.
I would also believe that FUni did it.
Why not just do this through IRC completely. Seems to me all problems stem from the visibility of this blog. IRC is easy, efficient and much safer. Groups were doing this for years and still do.
*sigh* I was a week before donating and then I saw that the account was locked. Why can’t fellow pirates just get along?
i agree, paypal sucks, i got a visa gift card to use online and hooked it up to paypal and it doesn’t work saying i need to activate some shyt and it took my 1.50 -__- any other services works good?
I really wish you the best and hope you will find some solution, because you really are working hard for us, fans! I don’t really understand how can somebody be so retarded to do such a thing, even though you didn’t even deserved it. Absolutely not! But heads up and be strong, I know that many of us are supporting you (even if not with money).
Sincerely yours,
Kaede
Be reasonable people, leave compassion aside and think real….
anyone who read the comments will think Thora is doing a legitimate free work….!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can’t blame paypal or Funi for this(even if they both suck), if you are doing a bootlegging you should be aware of the consequences.
@ allouh:
you have a legitimate point there, but a few questions — if you are not in support of thora and the group’s actions, why are you on the site in the first place? did you come here to ridicule us?
most of us leeching fans do not have the money and to buy every single series we love on bluray. a group of dedicated people have come together to get that hq stuff to us, and robbers they and we may be, we are thankful.
@ Hitomi:
I didn’t say I’m not supporting thora, or I’m against what they are doing.
If thora want to collect donation through legitimate methods they should expect this will happened.
actually when i first saw Thora is asking for donation i wondered it it ok to use paypal as donation method, and i said to my self if they are aware of what they are doing then its fine.
Hope Thora will keep their good work and looking for their future release.
Anyway (Im not here to start a flamewar), could you provide a simple bank account number, or any other way to donate? THORanime is my favourite release group.. and I dont want to see it dead :/
(And that person shall get the same from life.. geez)
