Slows my several year old computer to a crawl when I view it. Flash is fine, but the problem is that something like this needs to be optional, ie, not on the front page. Besides, wouldn't that 30k/s per viewer be more useful if it was used to clear the download queues faster?
What I love most about fansub.tv is that it's my #1 resource for seeing what new fansubs have been released, NOT because it's some kind of multimedia experience.
If it's okay to make suggestions here, I have a couple. Rather than a more stylish site, I'd like to see a more substantive and useful site.
I'd like to be able to set up a personal RSS stream so that when my fave animes are released, the torrents are added to my Azureus queue automagically - this is tech built into the BT client. For other BT clients, users could subscribe to email alerts.
I'd like to see the anidb/anime encyclopedia entries included on more series pages. There are a lot of shows listed here that have entries on those sites, but that data isn't listed here as it should be.
I'd like the big anime rec on the front page to not take up the entire screen, and to rotate a little more often than once a month.
I'd like to see Amazon-style reviews on the series pages, including "Users who like this series also watch ..." data.
I'd like to see this forum integrated more closely into the rest of the site, so that threads can be contextually matched with the related series. I'd like to see appropriate ads ON the forum pages, so long as they aren't distracting or totally spammy.
I consider fansub.tv my top fansub resource, and I usually check it at least twice a day. Resources are useful. Embedded youtube knockoffs aren't useful.
HTH
