Now if only we can find something that translates the babelfish translation... I think part of what it's choking on so badly is the Japanese syntax, so I'll give it a shot. Sounds like that the downloads are being taken down due to selfishness. After this, neither old downloads or the new stuff he was working on will be available. His attempts to stop abuse have failed and people just keep doing it without thinking about others or the consequences, so he gives up. I know he's had a lot of problems. Big one was bandwidth theft, which is why he went to a log-in site. Then someone posted their password on a message board (which earns them a Bonehead Award in my book, seeing as how it was a FREE SITE), which I think was the final straw. He may also have had problems with people claiming his work with his own, which I understand in Japanese culture is a SERIOUS personal insult as well as a professional one. (But if I'm wrong, this pathetic little American otaku will not take offense at being corrected.) Also, this is a bit awkward for me, but I feel I have to say it. I'm not trying to make anyone mad or insult anyone, but Huolong, you kind of provided me with a good example for this statement. I know you meant it to be complementary and reassuring, but your message has more of an air of demand and entitlement about it, which I think has a negative effect rather than a positive one on a freebie provider who's at the snapping point. Yes, there are bastards out there, but providers don't need to hear that they should just get over it and deal with it. They need to hear that there are greater number of people who appreciate them and their work and are grateful to them. Saying he's taken "extreme offense" minimalizes legitimate concerns he has. He very well may have been subjected to extremely offensive treatment. If he's gotten e-mails cursing him out and personally insulting him, I would not be surprised at all; he certainly wouldn't be the first freebie provider to be abused for their offerings. And "but don't take it out on the rest of us" is a good way to get a knee-jerk reaction of "Get bent". It shows more concern about yourself than him. No one is obligated to make freebies. He's not taking it out on anyone, he's just sick of getting bullshit in return for his generosity and he doesn't want any more of it. I think positive assurances of how much his work is enjoyed would be more helpful.
