Yeah yo1dog, keep mooching the free----steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
I mean, as outlined in my
vault post, my objective is get the artwork archived somewhere safe to preserve it for future community members and to make it accessible to everyone in the community... while paying for it out of my own pocket. Not sure how that would be considered mooching.
Definitely more than 2.
It's just kinda ---smurfy--- to see people come in a leech the free stuff without contributing to the site. Especially these new members that came specifically for this... first post: "hey can I have your free stuff?". Gimme a break.
Yea they (we? not sure if I meet your abstract standards or not) should know better than to ask to be included in the sharing of arcade-related assets on a forum dedicated to the sharing of all things arcade related.
I understand this is different because it is a physical drive that has to be mailed around, and thus it does make sense to prioritize certain community members first. However, I don't see anything inherently wrong with asking "Can I have some of that free cake, too?" I mean, sure, if some random guy walked into your picnic party and asked if he could have some of the cake, that would be annoying and you would probably tell him "No. This cake is only for my friends." You can easily say the same thing here. If you get the drive and you don't want to mail it to someone because you don't think they are worthy, then just don't.
However, it would be pretty silly to tell your friend not to share their cake with someone because you don't think they should. It's their cake. They want to share it. Telling someone not to mail the drive to someone else because you don't think they are worthy comes across as elitist and selfish.
Regardless, what if you had an unlimited amount cake? I would yell "Hey everyone! Free cake!" and share with everyone. Would you do the same or would you still say it was for you and your friends only? If we get the artwork online and accessible, there is unlimited cake for everyone. Why would anyone want to horde it?
