My thoughts exactly. When the hell have they been posting on the forum in support of AMVs or giving reference to us in any of their work at all? They only come here to promote themselves and that hasn't even been for a while.
As Ileia has suggested multiple times over, why not put a poll on the mainpage so we can vote for who we want to see interviews from? And if you can't get the person with the most votes, god forbid, go to the person with the second most :/ Besides, our very own members have proved multiple times over that they don't exactly hate talking about themselves
Might as well let them do what they enjoy so the rest of us can read a non-retarded article. Hell, I skipped the whateverboys interview and went back to read the old Pianos interview and that was some good stuff.
It's becoming more and more of a trend for higher ups to produce weeaboo-esque related material (such as the interview, the horrible award names for the VCAs, etc...) and ignore/brush aside excellent suggestions made by loyal members that have been here for years and are active on the forums and even IRC.
All the smiley faces and fan-gasming over these horrible selections will not change the that they are
horrible selections.
Now I'm just going to wait for the eventual rebuttal of "oh, but the mods work hard and blah, blah, blah..." I have respect for very few of the mods on this site. A good leader listens to those most loyal/productive and tries to act on their suggestions. They don't say "Even though you all obviously disagree with me, you all should be happy! Even though you've seen no evidence for it, this is a good thing!
"
Take more lessons from DokiDoki, Corran and even Pwolf. Mods/members like them look at the suggestions of other editors and see interesting ideas, then try to put them into action and last time I check....all of the suggestions originally brought up by members have been pretty damn big successes. And Pwolf isn't even a mod (and neither is Corran since he stepped down) but you get the point.
