If you do not use "@", people normally guess your replying to the previous answer above you, unless its obivous what the conversation is about.

There is no golden rule for using any of this, its just in forums you get a dozen people talking about things and it kinda gets complication to follow a persons post without "@" or quoting. Even just mentioning their name when you ask the question if you don't want to use those, can help prevent confusion saying that...

@Convo on Zero-G updates... At least with PowerFX the money thing is something that will ultimately say everything that needs to be said... They were in V2 the smallest company, which is why they release vocaloids every other year. This is likely aqlso why they only offered a 1/4 of the price for Ruby.

Though to be fair to the situation of both Syo and PowerFX and trying not to side with either... Syo may not like it but this is the price of 1 vocal... And he did spend time on re-doing the voice and a Japanese voice which is fine, but these voices won't be put up for release. Had he not re-done the voice or did a Japanese voice, he would have had closer cost versus development time results. Saying that, to release Ruby as a V4 and not as a V3, may prove a lot better seeing Chika's late release left her arkwardly sat so close to V4s release... So everyone focused on the V4 products. I don't think the situation was good at all, but everyone guesses Yamaha didn't give much warning of V4... :-/
