Looks like GG is no longer subbing Geass :( Shame, I thought they were the best out of the subbing groups...

EDIT: Although this is on the GG main page, people are saying this could be some kind of joke? Apparently anonymous made a fake Photoshop of their news page, and posted it on 4chan. I guess someone from GG thought it funny enough to make into an actual news post.

Does anyone else here remember the old [gg]? Back before Eliza dropped off the face of the internet and they shut down for a couple of months? Back when they were still friendly and encouraged fandom participation and did fun stuff like Seto no Hanayome (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7460) that was unheard of and unlikely to draw a huge fanbase but was totally awesome anyway? Remember back when they had that Orenji-kun themed front page, with the poem about how Orenji-kun really loved oranges but also wanted to hold Viletta's boobs? Back when they were the only worthwhile group doing even close to half-decent subs of Code Geass? Back when they all still thought it was the shizznit? (Not that I'm disagreeing about how Code Geass isn't what it used to be - I dare any of you here to tell me that R2 is even half as awesome as R1 was - but seriously, there's no need to hate. It's still fun.) Back before they all became trollfags totally enamored of the suffix "fag" because it was part of their identity?

Yeah, I miss the old [gg].

Yeah. The old [gg] was good times. ...where did you watch R1 if not [gg]? There was nobody else doing a sub worth watching, as I recall...

"Pepperidge farm remembers."


But, no, seriously, that sounds pretty awesome and worth missing even if this whole thing turns out to be fake.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

You're gonna have to explain the Pepperidge Farm reference, cuz it's totally lost on me. Cookies, while delicious, have no obvious connection with Code Geass or its fansubbers? And even if this is a lame hoax, the new [gg] is still not nearly as much fun as the old [gg] was. :(

....holy shneikies how is talking about fandom making me feel old?

[bangflip.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it's from old Pepperidge Farm commercials, where they talked about how things used to be made and after every "Do you remember when [insert phrase here]?" question they would answer "Pepperidge Farm remembers." Your comment made me think of that.

It still sounds great, like I would actually hang around there. The front page now isn't really that...appealing.

Nah, I know about you mean about the "old" comment. I'm in some fandoms where the new fans just plain suck whereas the older fans are great and it makes you reminisce. I'm sure every pretty fandom is like that to some extent though. Don't think of it as old though. "Mature" is a much better term to use.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh. Well, that makes sense then.

[gg] has completely given up on having a forum. (Hence their less than appealing front page.) If you wanna hang out and feel cool, you have to ping them on IRC. Except that I never figured out how to use IRC, so I mostly hang out and feel lame.

Yes... yes... *strokes chin in a plotting fashion* yes, let us refer to ourselves as mature, those of us who got into this fandom before it exploded into uncontrollable enormity... hrrmmm... yes... that will make us feel important instead of just old and hopelessly geeky... mmmmmm... yes, I think that idea will do nicely...

i miss how the old gg came to code_geass for help with fansubbing.

OH I FELT SOOOOOOOO HAPPY ♥♥

YAY JAPANESE PROFICIENCY! おめでとうございます？

I didn't enjoy proto-gg very much. However, we have always, always been a bunch of f/a/gg/ots, and even if Eliza was here right now, she wouldn't care if we did this.

But here's some fanservice anyway. :p

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Pff. That was still an irritating prank and you guys're still more pointlessly vulgar than you used to be.

....however, in light of the above fanservice, I may be forced to forgive you and come frolicking back. Despite the fact that I was really, really not amused and kinda wanted to nurse some sort of self-important indignation for a while longer.

ohgod I am such an orenji-whore

[kagu-chan.livejournal.com]

I think R2 is at least half as awesome as R1 was.

:(

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Well. Okay. Maybe half as awesome. But it certainly doesn't live up to the glorious awesymnitude of its forebear, R1.

[uwaaaah.livejournal.com]

I watched all of S1 on Veoh, except the last two episodes. I had to download those. When you mentioned the Orange-themed front page, I immediately remembered, haha. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT ANY GEASS SUBBING GROUP EXCEPT FOR THAT.

And just because I'm lazy, I'll say it here: the above poem is amazing and epic. I have just saved it. <3

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

YES. THE UNLIMITED ORANGE WORKS FRONT PAGE IS INDEED ARGUABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL THING TO COME OUT OF THIS FANDOM, at least during R1, at least IMHO.

[rawrrdoll.livejournal.com]

Yeah I remember the old gg (:
