If we go back to the pre-Miku era, despite the Engloids getting more attention then the J-loids, nobody had heard of the V1 trio or Vocaloid. And even with the general success of Meiko, Kaito was a failure and few barely knew of Meiko anyway. I don't see Kaito and Meiko not selling well anymore, and the Engloids are getting more and more noticed over time.

But there is always that price to pay for the fame of Miku. ITs really a tough love sometimes. owing her for Vocaloids popularity and fame, but as a Engloid fan myself who when she entered the fandom found her at odds with 90% of fans for liking Engloids and defending them... I kinda caught5 the back end of when VO was mostly Miku centred and generally there was a lot of myths then about Japanese Vocaloids. People were praising Miku not knowing actually much about her. It did lead me to edit this wikia, and a lot of the basic layout of the wikia was adjusted to fit as much info as we could for this reason... Even splitting pages to work around them.

I think the hardest part was just wikipedia. If not for me editing it in 2010, it might still be a mess. Maybe less of a mess, but a mess none the less. And even now its far from perfect (I wish I had the time!). Generally, I've had to hit wikipedia recently to expand sections to allow more information on Vocaloids. So now every engine version has a page to itself and there is room to talk about each release. But it also came with the price of giving room for Miku to expand.

And that happens a lot. :-/
