THE iDOLM@STER > OfA video requests
Formal notice of Resignation - All im@s related projects will cease.
Maka:
Honestly, I think the culture of the internet and culture in general means that doing stuff for free out of passion is a thankless job, quite literally. Especially with the internet, it's easy for people to see you as just a faceless machine that exists solely for their gratification. I do translations and such on tumblr, and I don't think I've ever gotten a single thank-you for what I do. I've even gotten very angry messages for not ordering panels the right way, not translating fast enough, whatever. It's sad how the world has gotten to this point where it can only be summarized as "ungrateful". No, I don't think you overreacted to that message, especially if it's just the latest in a string of them. Like I don't even fill requests and I've noticed how demanding it can be.
In the end, you've done some truly irreplaceable things for the English-speaking idolmaster community, and if people can't recognize that, then, well, pardon my French but screw 'em. I wish you best of luck on your future endeavors. We'll miss you.

I know, from your first post in this thread, that messages aren't the only difficulty you've been facing recently; but would you reconsider your resignation if you had someone to screen your messages for you so you only get the relevant ones?
Edit: Now that I think about it, I don't know how a screening process could be effectively carried out. If I offer my personal inbox as an alternative, there would still be nothing stopping people from using your inbox.

wish i could to this forum a lit more often, im always a lit busy somewhere and i wanna take some time to just come here and read stuff.... then again i could be doing that while recording.
I've got my number of email with threats of not doing thier requests, when my FAQ or my respond explains why i can't do them in the first place, or why it hasn't been doing already. It not like 3 years ago where i had all the time in the world to do 10 a day. Actually i dunno what was i thinking doing 10 a day.
See to see you step down from the position but all i can do is respect that decision and hope you the best in the future.
