Hell yeah! You should check for a lot of those if they’re available still via the normal means. A lot of the old and good fansubs are just outright missing, probably because a lot of people did what you did and then life happened and the availability fell along with the demand for fansubs for new series.
For example, a lot of the big fansub names are gone, and their seeds moved on. I know the content, for a lot of fansubs still exists in forms like you have here, but it isn’t available on the internet and is at risk for bitrot and being lost media.
See if you can find ways to seed stuff for a while. I know at least I have a couple dozen stalled out 0 availability of them that I’m just waiting to magically appear online one day, that I myself will then try to seed. Maybe you’ll make somebody’s day, or year.
Edit: also, some fansubs that are lost end up being the only sources of the original version. It’s rare, but it does happen.
Yeah, I’ll do that when I have time. Though first I need find out if I lost the data or not. If not maybe I can even seed them, who knows. However most of this media were rmvb files, so I don’t think I can recover fansubs as text.
