I could understand this if most creators had their content up on their own site, with payed ads and whatnot, because then uploading a character to esnips would cheat them out of money, but most creators have free pages, like tripod or geocities or something.
I understand the part about someone being able to edit a character, claim it as their own, and upload it, but the same thing could be done with megaupload or a similar site. the same could be said of most warehouses when you get right down to the nitty gritty, unless said warehouser is selling the characters or something.
so I guess in closing, the problem should lie with the editing and taking credit for the character, not the distribution.

I don't see anything wrong with esnips. any character that I've ever gotten from there had it's readme and whatnot in place, and was unedited unless otherwise specified. uploading to esnips is no different than uploading to megaupload or rapidshare (which seems to be the preferred site for most mugen creators), yet I hear nobody talk negatively about those two.very very well said

but the only problem i have is theres to many out of date versions and in all honesty i believe if the NO DIRECT LINKS rule wasnt around thered be alot less wharehouses cause alot of the chars i want are on a japenese site but its impossible to navigate so im forced to go look for it at esnips
same here... hell I'm trying to get that oichi that got released :'(

But when I get her I will send it to you.
lol warehousers :D
Well in all those 8 years I almost never used esnips.
I just use the ultimate warehouse: Google :P
Esnips is a nice place to find characters but some are way too outdated or edited.
I am not so lazy to give up if a character site is in another language I just keep looking...
If you use esnips use it in secrecy :-$

Post by: greatmuta2 on December 28, 2008, 10:05:01 AM
yeah!!! and I am proud of it lolwell there is one thing id like to say about this is that what if a newbie went to the site you did the illegal thing to and got the illegal thing you left on the site and decided that hes going to quit mugen cause we all know newbies all go to whare houses at first are you proud of that also what if the person was good at making sprites or good at coding stuff but well never know

c most ppl dont understand or they 4get...
MUGEN will always b like this, warehouses, leechers n ppl who just 'steal'
but remember we r in a way stealin from capcom, snk, etc in the beginin.
dats y theres a readme file
its not like u can 'steal' the beast, or thor, or lobo n so on, every1 knows who made them n every1 knows who made the bases n games to start off wit
u cant prevent somethin dat is FREE from being.... u guessed it FREE
Post by: Doctor Crow on December 29, 2008, 07:38:34 AM
because it is considered a warehouse and 95% of the creators did not give permission for those people to upload their works of art to that site. I agree tho it is a good site @^@ but its still not accepted at all in the mugen community because the creators did not give permission.
Oh well. Cry about it and move on. :-??

The real rule of Mugen is:
"If there is something to BlTCH about, rest assured somebody will"
Bottom line is Esnips is way more convenient, anyone who believes that searching Google or Yahoo is just as easy to find characters is dreaming. If its main characters, then yeah, but for a lot of stuff I can find in 30 seconds what would take me hours of searching otherwise.
The old guard are just going to have to eventually accept that the fans of Mugen just dont believe in a LOT or the so called rules of the Community.

it's one thing to say "I edited acey's green goblin to play like a Capcom vs SNK character, tell me what you think" and another thing entirely to say "check out this capcom vs SNK green goblin I made" a lot of times this gets lumped into the same category.
as far as that whole "we're stealing from capcom to begin with" mentality goes, capcom has expressed that they don't care about mugen because it's fan work. they are teams of faceless people making sprites for a game that they will make money off of, because it's their job. as long as they can make their money at the end of the day, they don't care. creators that use those sprites are doing it for free. they are making every one of those 900+ sprites by themselves usually simply for the activity. the least you could give them is a little credit, or the courtesy to say "hey I'm gonna recode/recolor/resprite/ect your character if it's all the same to you." if you don't at least give credit.

I gotta agree with you 100% on this. I know when I first got into MUGEN a few years back, like most noobs I hoarded as many characters as I could get my hands on (OK, to be honest I still do, but for totally different reasons... but that's another topic). I got really frustrated trying to use some of the so-called databases at the time that hadn't been updated in years. Google often didn't get me much besides Youtube videos. Once I found esnips, I was like "finally! I don't have to spend hours just to find a decent version of Sentinel". Like it or not, esnips has actually turned into the net's biggest MUGEN archive, and really does provide a valuable service. People b!tch about the leaked stuff and out-dated characters, which I can't really argue against, but there are also countless creations stored there that would have been lost long ago (or be otherwise inaccessible to newcomers) if someone hadn't warehoused them. 90% of the time, if I can't find something any other way I can find it on esnips.
Some of the "rules" laid down by members of the "old guard" never seemed to me to be anything more than a way for a handful of elitists to try and turn this community into their own special little club, where no one else can play unless they say so (I'm not naming names, but we all know who these people are). Some things are common sense, like not passing off someone else's work as your own or leaking unreleased WIPs, but others just seemed to do nothing but try to deter people from getting deeper into the community (like the "unrequestable" lists - I mean seriously, all that did was create a shopping list for people to go search on esnips :DxDie).
Yeah, people just need to lighten up. As long as these "warehousers" aren't trying to take credit for the creation (which few ever do) and aren't knowingly posting leaked/stolen/private stuff, then who gives a f***?

Please, do not put all the Old Guard on the same sack. I'm one of those from Old Guard (since, on the next year, there will be 10 years in Mugen) but I do not agree with many things.
Warehouses, for me, aren't bad, specially like Esnips. Warehouse are bad just in cases that the guy host a lot of works as they were made by him. This is really bad. But this affects more the newcomers than the old guard, because a lot of people already know our works and know that what we do.
Some rules are idiot, for sure. Let takes the example of "I do not want my char hosted in any place, because I've quited mugen and don't want it anywhere on the internet". That is a Dream :)
But some rules, even the newcomers doesn't like them, are for good. Like "do not use work from someone wihout the authorization". Its just RESPECT.
The main problem of the newcomers is that many of theu wants to do a Anarq (or whatever).

Don't worry. Just because you've been part of the community for a long time doesn't mean anyone thinks you're a part of that. I'm sure Alexziq was referring to just those people who have been trying to control the community. That's certainly how I took it.

Or even better, a certain creator a couple of years ago who took a character offline, and said "Don't host, don't request it, don't share it, and don't make any videos with it". I was really expecting him to come back and ask everyone who had the character to delete it off of their hard drive. Plenty of copies of that one on esnips now....

Unfortunately, that's always going to be a problem because there will always be people with that attitude. But what the "MUGEN Police" never seemed to figure out is that these people really just want attention. When you make a huge deal out of some of these things, it just gives them incentive to keep doing it, because they're getting the attention they want.
But that's why Infinity has been the only forum I've been active on, because most people here have a pretty healthy view of what MUGEN is really about :).
Post by: dragonesku on December 29, 2008, 11:02:20 PM
First of all this isn't new, I remeber back in the day (1 year ago), even the hardcore warehouses had strict rules on "warehousing", and people still hosted mugen stuff at esnips. Can you all believe that? I know, it's freaking laughable!
This is the only community which from time to time implodes on itself. Look at any other mod community and what they do, and you all see what I'm talking about.
As a contributor on this and other forums, I do not understand why all the brouhaha about sharing stuff (aside from not giving credit) on the web.(:|

QFT
I just feel as though Ive been an instrumental personality toward things being a tad more light hearted. When I see someone who could possibly be a 12 year old kid getting flamed by a dozen lunatics for 12 pages because he didnt know the so called "respect" guidelines, theres no way anyone is going to justify that to me. I myself dont have time to waste uploading crap, and I try to make sure I clear everything I do or say like a good lemming. I just hate to see some innocent kids getting trashed because of people taking this way too serious, and thats not acceptable to me.
I will say I think Infinity has worked hard not to let things like that happen anymore. Thats why I post here, and no where else in the Community if anyone has noticed.
Theres a good group of people here.

You had me going until about here. Not everyone who comes into the MUGEN community and starts speaking out against all of the bulls*** long-standing unspoken rules is doing it for attention. Some people, myself included, (or at least this used to be the case with me, i've come to accept a lot of things over time) do it because they want to see change, because they actually are anarchists. Quite frankly I think that a lot of the rules and guidelines of the MUGEN community are just plain stupid, no two ways about it. But for me, it was never about getting people to say "Oh there goes Crow again shooting his mouth off so all the n00bs'll listen to him." For me, it was always about making people understand that I have a message that they should seriously take under consideration, and I don't think that that part of your post was a fair statement, because to me it sounded like you were trying to make all of the people who go against the rules out to be attention whores, which is wrong on several levels.
In closing, I highly support esnips, it's the kind of thing i've wanted to see in the MUGEN community for a long time.

I'm a press whore . Anything I can do to get in the headlines .... ;*))
Seriously though , I feel the same way . I do not agree with some of the old school rules . I see nothing wrong with someone getting one of my characters from another site . My ego is not that big , that I have to personally hand it to them . Like I said , I create to bring out my artistic talent & to let as many people that wants one of my characters to enjoy it . Alot of people do not know where Team Spoiler's stuff is hosted , even though Mew has a website . So let them get it at esnips or similar website .
I don't mind the esnips guys because they are sharing & asking for nothing in return . It's the traders on youtube that p*ss me off .

I haven't been in that trade game in forever . I got sick of people promising new characters that were just palette swaps & other bullsh*t . Also I did have that happen a couple of times . I'd send out something & they wouldn't send anything back . The traders are the real scum of mugen . Those are the idiots who put some red in a palette , call it a " zombie " character & act like they created it . On top of it they make noobs trade a good character for that crap .
At least warehouses & esnips just shares the stuff with everyone

To be fair, Crow, I think you read my post out of context.... I wasn't at all talking about people who speak out against the "rules". I was meaning that to refer to the people, usually noobs, who show up on a forum and openly disrespect others, or go out of their way to break some of the more sensible rules just to piss people off. You know, the douchebags that will get ahold of a leaked WIP, post it on esnips, and go back to the author's thread and post "I warehoused your char, and there's nothing you can do about it. Ha ha!". There are plenty of people who really *ARE* attention whores, and don't know any other way to get it other than to get people's panties all twisted up. I certainly wasn't trying to lump people who simply try to voice their opinions or are actively trying to change the status quo based upon their own beliefs in with that crowd! Sorry if I didn't get that across effectively the first time. Hope we're all good, dude! :thumbsup:

this is the same community that had a flamewar over a guy using a personal edit of a stage in a WIP video from his character. I agree we all need to lighten up on some things, mainly showing videos, hosting creations and edits with credit.
it's one thing to say "I edited acey's green goblin to play like a Capcom vs SNK character, tell me what you think" and another thing entirely to say "check out this capcom vs SNK green goblin I made" a lot of times this gets lumped into the same category.
as far as that whole "we're stealing from capcom to begin with" mentality goes, capcom has expressed that they don't care about mugen because it's fan work. they are teams of faceless people making sprites for a game that they will make money off of, because it's their job. as long as they can make their money at the end of the day, they don't care. creators that use those sprites are doing it for free. they are making every one of those 900+ sprites by themselves usually simply for the activity. the least you could give them is a little credit, or the courtesy to say "hey I'm gonna recode/recolor/resprite/ect your character if it's all the same to you." if you don't at least give credit.
That is only Capcom what about all the other VG Designers that made these sprites?

i never used to hate esnips until my account was deleted, not by me, and i cant create a new one because of the typing of those words to verify account, i copy it down exactly everytime and it doesnt work.
Those are just spam bot protection. You can't just copy and paste, it'd be too easy for someone to misuse the service.

my statement still applies. even if capcom didn't publicly say "we don't care about mugen," the part after that would still ring true:
