I'm here for the drama. Jokes aside, I was propably one of the first users around these forums, back when Aaeru had great plans and everything looked quite different; I don't know why I even registered back then; I propably felt it was some sort of a personal obligation towards community, Aaeru and to keep an eye on everything. Sadly, the forums had some issues later on and my previous account got wiped; not like it really matters, since I hanged out mostly on related IRC channels and only lurked around Fuwa. To be honest, it might be a nice place to hang out (ie waste time), but it does not prove that much of an actual purpose. A lot of things Aaeru wanted to do in time got overshadowed by the overall friendliness, where people grew complacent and forgot about everything that was truly important to the scene. I don't care that much about the actual community, since fans of my kind actually don't need people around - we focus solely on work and pull the strings from behind the scenes. What we do is irrelevant to whether community cares, or not. Our work is what truly keeps everything together and as long as we will continue working on vn's and translations, our world will continue to spin as it always used to. I think Tay will have to give people around something meaningful to do, so they won't just sit around in here wasting their time on useless discussions and arguments whether logo X is better than Y. There's a bunch of nice projects around, but it doesn't seem they get enough attention, even from the community itself. Perhaps this should change? There's quite a lot of things to work on; it should prove to occupy people, at least for a while.
