DAmesukekun is usually quiet here, he did have a lot of input earlie on like O Herman, but their both much quieter now.

Damesukekun often tries to help make overseas fans understand the situation their in, but often the mesasage is either lost in translation or falls on deaf ears. I often had trouble communicating with him myself and I felt guilty about asking for translations because we only had Damesukekun doing it. I didn't think it was fair that 1 person should be relied upon, but was grateful for any translation I got none the less because there wasn't anyone else.

I've always said that while lyric translations are fine, translations on how the vocaloids work are far more important.

I feel sorry for Damesukekun for dealing with idiots in the various fandoms and know from experience from past fandom Beyblade of Japanese fans cutting off the western fandom entirely due to a doujin being stolen and uploaded on the net. And I hate to put our side down, but often due to cultural differences, you can't make some of our fans understand why they must not do things. It makes life much harder.

Even in the Vocaloid fandom, dealing with illegal versions of Vocaloid, how many excuses we've had for its usage been things that are less then thought out. Things like claiming Vocaloid is not a professional software, or is badly designed, or that Yamaha is greedy for over pricing their software. All of which are more of a sign of ignorance or blindness then well thought out answers. :-/
