I'll chime in here, this at the very core is a Fuwan issue. It really defines what Fuwan is and should be something dealt with in a serious manner. Considering the track record until now, the best option is to remove the torrents since they are now licensed.

More Hoshimemo from a friend:

Welcome back astro, looking forward to more progress and some great stories about your time in Japan.

Congrats, glad to hear you're finally achieving your goals. Be wary of getting too excited, getting burned out is a real thing.

Welcome to Fuwanovel. Impressive list of VNs you've read so far.

Welcome back to Fuwan.

Welcome to the forums, glad to see another lurker join.

Here is what it comes down to everyone. The Fuwanovel staff is still working on finding a balance between letting people have fun, and being a place for constructive discussion. When Aaeru began Fuwanovel, I don't believe she ever expected it to become as big and as popular as it did, so many of the guidelines for the staff are pretty outdated. 
 
Fuwanovel should absolutely be a place where you have some fun. It isn't like there is all that much VN discussion to go around with how little the western market sees. That said, we really want to make sure topics are useful, and especially on topic without being derailed (as I've seen some complaints popping up about that). We don't want to become too strict and stifle what you guys have come to enjoy though. Because the staff has allowed everyone to become accustom to the old way of doing things here, it makes it difficult to change things up without upsetting a significant portion of the user base. 
 
The staff is still working on some changes to the rules and the way they moderate to hopefully remedy some of the complaints I'm seeing in this thread. For now though, please bear with the staff as the new system is ironed out and more specifics are drawn up. Just keep in mind though, Fuwanovel will not lose what makes it different from the rest of the VN community. Fuwanovel will remain a friendly, welcoming place to VN enthusiasts of all levels; from new to veteran. 

I want to think Maef for posting this thread despite the negative outlook of Fuwanovel. It has allowed the staff to get an insight into what the members actually think of the forums right now and will allow the staff to better draw up a new set of rules for moderation. 
 
I will now be closing this thread. If you still wish to discuss this thread, you may do so by messaging the staff and talking with them. 

We host it because it remains popular. I mean hell, the "Appreciation Appreciation Thread" was allowed, among other silly G&C threads. 
 
I would appreciate it if you did not needlessly call out threads/people in public and instead kept that private by messaging a mod with your complaints. 

Granted, but as soon as you attract them, they become chicken.

I wish that Key had more works out.

Welcome to Fuwan.

Thanks for the TLs Astro, I'll give em all a watch when I have some time.

Glad you like it.

<3 Astro <3

 
This just came in the mail today, saw it when I got home from some stuff in the morning. Such Yume, such Da Capo II. Thanks so much for ordering this for me and I thought I'd just share this experience with everyone. Thanks again Astro.

Welcome to Fuwan, we're happy to have you here with the rest of us.

Well I'm not going to vote, but I don't think you can go wrong with Tofu Wisdom.

Welcome to Fuwa Fuwa.

bats is now officially in tsun-dere mode where he can't choose one or the other.

This seems like a good idea already.

や this, や that. Such dialect.

Seems like things are in order, guess we'll be getting this done.

Just came back from Sakuracon 2014. I'll be back to editing starting tomorrow.

The reaction from solidbatman was great, yours might be even greater.

Because the TL is the only thing that matters...

Just a quick update from me, got through a few hundred lines today. Making some steady progress.
