Dear Subscene users,
As a fellow user and contributor in the past during the hay-day with friends/admins like rogard and Verdikt, I was sorry to hear this news.
A Subscene user contacted me at OpenSubtitles to provide any assistance that I/we can.
Although we can’t provide any financial assistance, I would like to say I’m willing to help in any other way that I personally can, especially because of my past loyalty and time here.
I personally hope Subscene can continue the way it always has, but if it can’t, you’re all welcome on our site. We already have users from both sites participating back and forth already.
Although, I understand, our chosen favourite site can never be replaced by any other, I will still try my best to accommodate your community over there. If the moment asks for it or if the worse was to happen to Subscene.
That means you can have your own language (major busy languages) section in our dedicated forum (https://forum.opensubtitles.org/) with the same admins/moderators from Subscene who are also welcome to keep their roles and look after their original community members that may follow them from Subscene. You can see we already have separate forum sections for some popular languages already and you’re more than welcome to moderate them as you did here.
Our site is going through a transition at the moment where we will change from the .org version to the new .com version when it is ready (BETA): https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/home
In the new version you will be able to search for subtitles by simply using popular iconic movie phrases and sentences like “Yippee Ki‐Yay” for Die Hard, so exciting times for the new version of the website which will also have 1000’s of other modern features which will also include the ability of translating subtitles into your language, using automated apps for uploading/downloading subtitles, finding subtitles by simply dragging/dropping your video file in the search bar and many other features.
Albeit, some of these features exist already.
Of course I hope all fairs well for Subscene. If it doesn’t, you’re free to choose whatever site meets your needs. For those that choose OS, you’re most welcome. Not only the users, but admins, too.
I wish you all well.
Kind regards
