I painstakingly converted most of my bitmaps to jpegs, but currently I have a ton of captured frames, although the space on the HDD is quite small. I also have more than a few files I have written on the subject. :lol:

I don't store any episodes on my HD anymore, mainly due to limited space, and also because I rather like to watch them via TV screen. :)

Ditto. That's why I had my fansubs converted for my X-Box :D

About 30GB of mine is copies of web pages, fan art, screenshots, trailers, flash, MP3s, etc. The rest is mostly high quality DVD rips so I can get screenshots or bits of animation.

My HDD is 327BG. But about 270BG of that is High quality DVD rips of Anime. The rest is for the music I’ve made on Reason, my animations, pictures, PC Games, Movies. It goes on and on.

Lol the guys at tezukainenglish would hang you for even suggesting that. How do you figure [more files] = [bigger fan]? :hyo:

*reads through thread*

I'm gonna have to side with Anapan...are you intending that the more pictures we have, the bigger a fan we are?

Aside, I have about 50 MB of Astro/Tezuka files, 10 of those being eBay pictures. (Wait, if we're deleting Astro pictures, does that mean we're becoming less of a fan?)

Let me have a small pedantic talk about mathematics behind fanboyism (and fangirlism).
Studies have heavily proven that fanboyism/fangirlism is directly linked to the amount of data on the person's computer. As Fauna has noted, of course when you delete files you lose fanboyism/fangirlism, until the extrem where you delete the last data you aren't considered as such anymore and lose total memory about the subject.
Know let's mix with mathematics. There is obviously a minor flaw to address: when you duplicate a file, do you earn fanboyism/fangirlism ? Of course not. When you compress a file but keep the original, do you increase it? Again not, so the mere counting of unique data isn't enough. So let's speak about entropy, that measures the unpredictability of data. The entropy between 2 identical files is low, while it goes through the roof for 2 different files. Comparing 2 identical files coded differently amount to low entropy. So the only way to measure fanboyism/fangirlism is to measure entropy. Knowing that entropy is the opposite of order, that means that the less ordered are your files measures you true loyalty, so now you know what you have to do.

Note: Don't take the above text too much seriously, I wouldn't like you to put your computers upside-down because of it ;)
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.
