It's hardly a surprise if people don't wish to be a part of this community when many of the "regulars" behave with such shoddy manners as the ones you're displaying here, Shin.
That said, considering how diverse GFF is in terms of the hobby's and interests we cater to, it's hardly surprising if someone joins here because he or she has heard about the Concert Hall or My Stuff. And why must you be interested in the entire forums to browse a singular forum which caters to your interests, such as CH or My Stuff? It's actually quite humorous how the people complaining about these so-called "leechers" are almost always users who seldom, or never, actually browse the forums in question. If the "leechers" were such a problem don't you think they would be dealt with accordingly by those who do [and believe me, those who are problematic are dealt with].
And as I previously stated, the attachment situation in CH should have been dealt with the minute it became a problem. One-click file hosting sites have been around for a few years now...

I don't really care if people don't wish to become a part of the community because we don't have CH or My Stuff. Those are undesirables anyway. Any member worth a damn in the past year on
my radar hasn't come from either of those places.
It's also not the people that are problematic, it's the content of the forums. Most of the regulars (and thusly, the people who run this place in the end), don't go to either of those forums, and most of the regulars to those specific forums could easily get together and create a new community for themselves if they so wanted. We're just being kind of doing it for them, from my point of view, because they pose a significant threat to the boards with actual content, and not just illegal files.
Shin edit: Sorry, editted the wrong post. All I did was trimmed down Seanne's quote a bit
Jam it back in, in the dark.
