Well I think that's really noble of you Omni to be the go between for the sites as well as the language barrier, must take some time and effort to be sure. I remember when I was active in the RE/RE Beta/Modding community where, for RE2 especially, skinning models was exclusive information and no one would help by telling people the proper way to do it. It was nice to download stable and good looking character, weapon and enemy models for the game but people had so many ideas they couldn't fulfill. Often methods would come to light that would leave gaps and bugs and it was never fully possible until recently when some former members decided to spill to beans and release tools that they had in their possession for years. It is now possible and is being explored modifying things like entire rooms, item placements, even triggers and even coding completely new areas in Resident Evil. But still, I dislike that type of elitism and won't forget it. That's kind of why I left the scene as well, I used to be pretty hands on with the team but now the Beta seekers/masters have become elitists.
I'm glad it seems to be levelling out though from what you say, although I may not see a lot of what goes on behind the scenes. The mere fact programming games is possible on a calculator really blows my mind, and this is from an outsiders point of view. I think people are just too narrow minded these days.
Heck, TIMGUL had hostility and look what happened.
I know all too well.
