Summary

Arashi's Mid-Winter Idiotic Athletics Carnival is a must watch! See how fail Sho is as a team captain (and how awesome he is during the gestures game), Matsujun's rivalry in high gear, Oh-chan's super fast in a sleeping bag, Aiba-chan's on full idiot power, and Nino's spinning world (I honestly didn't get the whole ku~ ku~ from him, but it was fun to watch *grins*).

stepstomarrow

Utaban - 2000.11.09

Old Utaban for your viewing pleasure! (and a pleasure it is.)

Summary

It's their second appearance in Utaban promoting Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi. No Nakai/Ohno fights :( but there's already bullying going around. XD

We have found the streaming vids and already started flagging them. We would like to extend this flagging event to the whole community. We also noticed that episode 7 was streamed on the same day as our released day, and we know for sure the culprit is within the community *waves at the traitor*. Unfortunately, until the traitor shows him/herself, we might need to slow down the releases for the rest of the episodes. We apologized for the inconvenience caused, but we believe that for the time being, our main priority is to take down the streamed vids and ensure that the same case wont happen again for ep8, 9 and 10 releases. [Edit] As of 17 December 2009, only the videos on Ning.com remains streamed. We're still figuring out how to deal with this &*%$^*^* site (pardon the symbols) but we would like to thank each and everyone of you for our collective efforts in combating streamed My Girl videos. We have taken down 3 streaming sites, and that's a huge achievement for all of us! Thank you very much *bows* [/edit]

( farewell )

We noticed that My Girl episode 6 released by AST has been seen streamed on a drama streaming site. We believe that this has breached our rule of no distribution out of AST communities. With no luck getting that episode off streaming, we will be making slight changes in regards to My Girl future releases.

Starting from episode 7, all releases of My Girl will be made available only for AST livejournal community members. Membership as of now is being moderated. My Girl releases from Vox and Wordpress will be halted until further notice.

We are still in discussion on how to prevent such events from happening again in the future. We like to keep the way we've been releasing our stuff, so we hope that we wont have to go to the extreme.

Apart from My Girl releases, other AST projects (All the Best, Challenge Week, Himitsu no Arashi-chan, etc) will continue to be released normally.

Thoughts and concerns, please drop us a comment or two here!

EDIT:
1. We did not announce which drama streaming site because we do not want them to make more money just by people visiting the site.

2. We might have found the origin of the streamed vids. Once we have confirmed this, we will let everyone know ^^

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:

freeskiers
While some of us long to escape the cold, dark stretch of winter for hot tropical beaches, for others, there's nothing quite like whoooooshing down those shimmering sugar alps.

This passionate, international community shares travel/gear tips, anecdotes, photos, and videos for those who can't get enough of the sweet stuff.
