tracing is fine under specific conditions, its even a valid technique with its own set of equipment such as light boxes and reflector boards,. but the original artists were not credited, he didn't just sample a piece or design he took entire drawings and spiced them up and altered small features to suit his characters. thats plagiarism. and in some cases ip theft. as for the using the same poses and poser software goes, they are no where near the same as this. its like comparing a counterfeit dress and the original "well he just used the same shape the color and material are different so its fine" . it does not work this way. artists live off their particular styles. companies hire them based on what they bring to the table stylistically all artists take small amounts from other artists but they don't out right trace it thats not being influenced by another artist its ripping them off, its dishonest, and its lazy.

probably wont since i heard he asked too be banned

ren i dont think anyone felt you were in any way blaming tay for getting sick, it was clear in the opening post you felt that the members were losing interest and you were feeling a lil frustrated due to not knowing what to do to rekindle the masses in to motion. and i hear ya man. but as i said with the school year and the new university semester just getting under way for a lot of the world most of the younger members here are gonna be going awol. after a month or two of getting in the swing of there new schedules again this should even out a bit. as for what can you and by extension the rest of us do . i think we can support the staff in keeping things rolling smooth. and most of all keep up your excellent work at providing opportunity for member participation and games. im considering something in a similar vein. im starting a guild for fuwa members on spiral knights a free to play game on steam and considering a group stream for anime with a irc or skype chat running simultaneously and possible a manga discussion group where we select through vote a single manga series that has already ended its run and we read it at our own pace and discuss it together in the forum probably a monthly thing i think. not sure these are things i been kicking around my brain pan the last few days . ill let ya know when i figure out the plans for these.

tays absence does indeed suck, but the man puts alot in to the community just keeping the doors open and lights on after aeru vanished. i wish him a speedy and safe recovery and me and my family's thoughts are with him and his family. as for the meat of rens worries the disappearing fuwans. i agree it sad seeing ppl leave, and anyone whose been part of online communities knows it happens and tends to happen in waves groups of members leave new members arrive the circle of life and all that. yeah ill agree a portion of that may be the lack of updates to the front page of the site and forums but i have faith in fuwa and believe its a temporary issue that will be resolved in time. the members in hiding also may be doing so due to the school year having recently started and many fuwans are strapped for time between their schools and universities and their hobbies leaving less tiime for the community that will also fade as members readjust to the balancing act they deal with most of the year now that summer has come to a close. i appreciate all the hard work,creativity and just great fun that ren invests in to the community and i understand the worries i do but im fairly certain it will pick up again in the near future. on to maef's mini rant: ok i understand your frustration but chill man. the games and chatter section is not rewarded for anything. the posts don't count towards post count. and its moderated pretty actively. the anime,manga,video games and other otaku interest threads have been around as long as iv been here even when i lurked for a year before becoming a member. whats the harm in that , we aren't all able to provide visual novel content. i have pretty much no skills i can offer localization projects other then as a gopher and spreading word or maybe making a crappy blog for them to use for updates. but i do watch tons of anime, play lots of games and read a fair share of manga is me offering opinions,recommendations, news sources and information on those things somehow bad for fuwa cuzz its not visual novel exclusive content? if some one makes a ama thread so people can get to know them a deterrent to new members joining? i don't believe so . if you don't want to participate in that type of discussion or content you don't have to . want more content thats serious reviews and discussion of the visual novels exclusive side of the community then as a great man said, be the change you want to see in the world. im sure some others will join in and you can get that content and community participation your looking for.

would you dance with me to this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxqL4RIkVek

i got dibs on those paper clips!

i really liked the art style, the fact they change styles color pallets and art designs the way they do was fun for me, i know alot of people online complained about it but they did something similar with welcome to the nhk and i always find that enjoyable.

thats understandable

oh i wasn't even aware of that lol, makes sense though other then me and a few others here yandere aren't a very popular niche

rpg, platformers, side-scroller, action, fighting games, basically anything i can spend hours and hours playing without requiring other people. im not very good at multi-player. i do like mmorpgs, and i trying to learn moba's with dota 2 but frankly anything i can play on my own for a long time seems the best choice for me.

what are you talking about ara-ara?

my fave is hastur, particularly his avatar of the mouth of truth and the king in yellow, the things that draw me to he who shall not be named, is the pure unknowable nature he represents, his very existence is madness inducing. the very lil that is known about him is mostly from expanded mythos tales. even so when i read the book the king in yellow by chambers after seeing references to it in lovecraft's works (yes im one of those geeks who looked up all the books and texts and beings in the mythos tales as he read them) i fell in love with the strange otherworldly atmosphere and mystery of the king in yellow and the yellow sign. then when the expanded mythos tales came to my attention i read as many as i could and the ones published for the call of Cthulhu rpg featured and expanded him a lot and connected him to hastur my fave of lovecrafts mythos and i have been a fanboy of them ever since.

you do realize its satire right? a comedic take on the increasing popularity of vocaloid and idol fandom in nations out side japan combined with commentary on a game? goomba doesn't believe vocaloids and idols are seriously conspiring for Orwellian world domination. you know? its a comedy and information show on youtube.
