ROTFL! Thanks for the humor.

Now that you've got that out of your system, I should mention that the occasional individual actually does talk about something other than the 5 questions that Somedude mentioned.

I admit that any other correspondence is rare, but not non-existent. With that said and out of the way, I will say that I believe that they get just as many interesting comments and complements on their forums and irc as before the advent of BitTorrent even though the number of people in their channel is less. Okay... perhaps it is a bit less in their channel since fewer people even know how to use IRC these days. All of the extra comentary they might have gotten in their channel has become part of the conversation in the AnimeSuki Forum instead. I'm divided in my belief if that is a good thing.
