i'm teaching english at a high school. i'll probably be here until at least august 2010, so it looks like jdorama will be back in my repertoire.

Cool... I have a cousin that did that on two separate occasions in exchange for room and board with a Japanese family... She really enjoyed it.

i guess the real question is: is there a real need for this thread anymore? or does everyone just DL from d-addicts now. (btw, i'm no longer a mod on d-addicts since i disappeared for 3 years from there too)

There's still some trading amongst the regulars here like Wynter, Eve, Anime Dad, Geezer, marspeach, and myself among others (whose names escape me at the moment)....

hey guys, i haven't been around in what, like 3 years? recently started watching jdoramas again (since now i live in japan) and decided to check out the thread.

Welcome back, dude!

thanks for the welcome back. i didn't really realize how much i missed jdramas. anyways, updated up through page 48 anime dad.

i'm thinking about creating a "power trader" section where the top traders are put. makes it easier for people to find the super reliable traders. power trader would go above the normal positives. what do you guys think?

Welcome back, geoffropuff!

Power Traders sounds like a good idea. Trading is still very prevalent as many of the older series that were only put on tapes then DVDs are still not available for DLing. Trades are active and not just amongst the regulars.

Thanx for the update.

i'm trying to determine what the best threshold is for the power traders. what do you guys think? maybe traders with over 15 positive feedback points and 0 negative feedback points? do you think it should be more exclusive to those with over 30 or so? i don't know. if we set the bar too high, then eve and hanashimi become the only two power traders, which is fine if thats where you wanna set the bar.

anyways, just let me know what you guys think

If you're talking about going through this thread for positive reviews, it may be misleading.

For example, I've been trading consistently since I started, but like, it's usually with the same people (20 or so) on different occasions. Only a handful are from this site. So, when I trade with Eve, I've already posted how amazing she is, but I'm not sure I do it every time.

So because we trade - on this site - with a few people, we trade with the same people often.

Make sense?

I like the idea of Power Traders. I think it's great. But I think the best way to find out who should be listed is by asking. lol

Really? Where do you find the other traders? Or do they find you?

FWIW: I think Power traders with over 12 positive trades is sufficient.

They find me. Apparently you get my site with you do a google search for traders. I've been trading with new peeps that email me.

Wow, you're too generous... I try to restrict my trading to people I really know... Paranoia, I guess.

I'm starting to get this way. There are only 2-3 people that I met through email that I will trade with now.

First it was because I don't have access to a PC right now that will burn (all Vista OSs), and second because I don't feel comfortable giving out my address to total strangers.

I only trade without hesitation to the regulars here, and my two email buddies.

Especially hearing all those cracked stories on the news. >>shudder<<

I think this is also why I'm always hesitant to meet people from online.

But now we're off topic.

It's not as bad if a group of us meet, like when krim, lillmissy, and I met up at Musha...

Wow, that seemed so long ago...

Maybe 2006.

I know this is off-topic, but I just had to say that the friends that I've been visiting since early this year are people I met online and I'm so glad I met them. They share the same interests as me (Jdramas, Jpop, and now KARAOKE!!!) and I feel at home with them. That's why I think you'll definitely have a positive experience with meeting the friends you have here at Jdorama.com.
