I think we're best staying out of this... Again trying to keep the vocaloid wikia neutral is better then taking sides. As I just said in another topic, the only sides we take is copypright (because its int he wikia agreement/policy anyway) and on vocaloid promotion.

I myself don't like the idea of supporting galaco just because, while I have favourite vocaloids and admit Galaco isn't one of them, I don't like the idea of one vocaloid pulling favouritism like this... Even for a good cause. :-/

Plus, look... I've signed petitions like this before, often things are out of peoples' hands and you can't do a thing to change them. Showing support for Galaco helps make the makers notice the support is there, but it doesn't mean they can make it happen. Legal grounds, money, things like this... They can prevent the efforts of the petition having any difference at all. I'm not saying don't sigh it. Nope. I' am saying bare in mind that there may just be nothing anyone can do to save Galaco and be prepared come October for disappointment or joy on the same grounds as each other.

It would be nice to have her kept, but at the end of the day a lot of the reaction to her retirment has just been because no one has ever experienced a event like Galaco before. The closet we have right now is the eventual doom of the 5 original vocaloid vocals, of which if you may notice anyone can currently buy there (as far as I know as I write this) and there seems to be no rush.

Overall... If Galaco was a buyable vocaloid, I don't think she would be one many would pay too much attention to... Her voice is not on the higher end of the quality spectrum amongst vocals and all Galaco's managed to do is bring out the worst of this fandom. :-/
