Of course if you're the only group bothering to sub it and you choose to do it every 3 months then no one is entitled to complain about speed. I just don't see why no group should pick up your pace just because you started subbing first.
I don't think the idea is so strange. IMOP, a translater's skills are being put to more use with a series that wasn't picked up EVER or was dropped completely. That's why I said we should confirm which series no one wants to work on anymore and which are just slow.

I don't care if a translator wants to start a new group. They can if they want to. But it is less work for him/her if the translator joins an existing group. (YES, it does take more effort to form your own group. You'd have to find others to help you, advertise, set up a distro, etc. That's a bit more than watching a raw and sending your translation to the editor/whoever.)
