Usually whenever someone asks those kind of questions, its because they can't be bothered to look over the thread. The longer said thread gets, the less likely they'll read posts. Remember what happened to the Fukase thread when I had to step in and say "shut up" basically about the terms of use of the Vocaloids being discussed? Well this tends to happen in forums a lot, so hence why many don't bother.

Top it off don't forget the Vocaloid fandom in general is made up of a lot of youngsters who don't do much research.

In addition, don't forget the reason why your answers may get inored over anyone elses or have several people answer them is simply because in addition, the other issue with forums in their "alpha nerd" territory. Every experience of every community, including our own has the same problem of a few dominate fans. In VO, those few tend to be concentrated to the point they don't like it when their wrong.

In recent events over Ruby, for example, hushlamb (I'm not saying their real username here for protections sake) has been notably running down PowerFX and their vocaloids. PowerFX are not their only victims, but at one stage I also found myself speaking up as I did here to say "hang on, thats not 100% true of PowerFX... Their not like that..." just to stop them. They were sure their "gut feeling" meant PowerFX pulled out of Vocaloid altogether, when I'd already had it confirmed that this was not the case before they even said that. And if SeeU, Yanhe and Sonika are to go by, 1 problem vocaloid is not the end of a companies reputation.

I'm not trying to paint an ill picture of VO here, I'm just saying this is a problem on the internet in general. I can remember in the One Piece fandom someone bluntly ignoring me on Arlong Park forums over being right on something. It was made worst by the fact AP has the ability to hide post made by certain users if you wish via a setting. So you can basically make it so you pretend certain forumers don't basically exist by turning on this auto-hide feature. Someone at old VO I believed even asked this featured to be implemented, but in one of the wiser decisions, it was left off since this is considered rude (well down lads/lasses for taking this stand against the most bias and obnoxious feature forums can have... Unless it now is a thing... I didn't check).
