Hello. This is obviously A and Luka(Two moderators at VocaloidOtaku, if you don't know). We told ourselves that we wouldn't sign up but we caved. Not because we actually wanted to join, oh no. VO is our home, but because a place we care about is being slandered by the members. Some of whom are actually members of VO yourselves.
Just to clear things up, EVERYONE has to re-register. We had a server changed because our old server literally became filled. No, we didn't remove any accounts. We didn't remove the accounts to make it "prettier" either. We HAD to move because we ran out of room. Our new server has much more space for us to use.
It also bothers us that you are saying our users are elitists, Touhoufags, and perverts. You all say yourselves that you don't really venture out of the subforums you hang around at VO, so we kindly ask you do not judge our users just from what you've heard.
We don't judge or say anything insulting about the Overseas Utau forum at VO, we'd atleast like a little respect. Yes, there is a lot of perverted nonsense in the Bro Lounge that happens, however those are inside jokes. If you ventured about more and got to know the forum better you'd know this.
A large majority of the users are fans of Touhou, however, everyone has likes and dislikes. There are also just as many Pokemon fans on VO. Just as there are probably as many anime and manga fans on your forums. There is absolutely nothing wrong with liking Touhou, or any other fandom for that matter.
As for us 'not wanting to learn and improve' I think you are very mistaken. Everyone in the campus and Utau section loves to learn and improve, after all many of you are on VO yourselves.
Our community is a large one. Yes, you can't 'get to know everyone', but once upon a time, it was just as small as this forum. Everyone knew each other inside out. Every forum starts out like this. Yours will eventually grow to be one where you 'don't know everyone' as well. VO grew because it became successful, it's as simple as that
We would greatly appreciate it if you wouldn't talk about our forum in such a derogatory manner. It does nothing but make yourselves look bad. We realized that Overseas Utau forum has done this in the past and we've let it slide. This is going too far though. It would of been nice for VO and this forum to get along and collaborate. We have never said one negative thing about your forum on ours. I don't see why you all feel the need to bash for no reason. We have done absolutely nothing to you.
We think it's great that you have pride in your forum and you should keep it that way. It's the members that make the forum. However, it is not a legitimate excuse to bash other forums though with no good reason. If you have something to say about VocaloidOtaku, post it there or contact one of our moderators or admin through email. We'd be happy to discuss it with you.
Thanks.
