Akiba-Online.com is not known for its name and resources, its known for the people that contribute and share the stuff they have. If you have a network of people who are willing to share all they have openly with everyone in the community, you've got a good foundation there but if everyone wants to just come on in and freeload, you won't contribute to anything until you do. I'll admit, I have not contributed any work to this forum because I can't purchase this kind of stuff like the other guys can, I would if I could so for now, I'm just a freeloader ... picking up all the goodies that the good reputable folks leave for the taking, I know that is bad but I give them my thanks when they contribute like that, they wouldn't be uploading if no one was going to download what it took them hours to upload.
What you get when you visit another forum that is not Akiba-Online.com? You aren't getting the same level of peer-to-peer sharing that is for sure. You'll probably find a bunch of folks who "just want stuff" and don't want to share what they have with anyone else which, in my opinion is selfish. I like to call these guys 'leeches' they step into the network and when a good person shows up and contributes, they bite on them and suck blood until there isn't any left. I hate calling my self a 'leech' but I have not contributed so for now, if you see me around, make sure you drink plenty of juice, I'll be filling my tummy up with blood quickly, lmao.
