About awareness agree. But sometimes I see that some my posts doesn't fully cover mentioned topics (that mostly happens after months the post was published, because during such period of time you can find and learn a lot of things you didn't know before). Agree that there is no starting point. The only problem is that a lot of fans are interested only in some aspects of the series, and the things which are not on the surface are very likely to be missed. From lore side ZUN tried to do retrospection of old characters in FDS. About the whole series, well, he just does what he wants to do. Things just work, so he doesn't change them. What actually are "the things that made touhou as touhou"? For different people they are different. From gameplay side it can be from patterns themselves to scoring, for these things you can play fangames as ZUN doesn't improve these aspects. From music side, well, ZUN still does good music (but not everyone agrees with this) (+ Touhou style music exists nowadays). About lore and story it always was vague and "not perfect" and it was good for fanwork creators. From the side of doujin circles, "any Touhou work can be sold" was very important. It is hard to say what ZUN actually wants to do with the series. Maybe the printing work ZUN is doing now will show us that? Somewhat yes, but he works with some people (and asked some help with UDoALG and the patch for it). + Recently, he drank beer with some doujin circles, they could offer some help and ideas (if I remember correctly many of them + BeatMARIO asked to make games harder). Also, ZUN works with Ruw (does he care about the series and fans? The answer is obvious. But it is important to note that he didn't appear out of nothere), and already have a lot of contracts with semi-official (do all of them actually care abiut the series?). ZUN can become less lazy and begin to work more with people, but there are some things that would be hard to change for him. For now I don't have such work to do. If you are not afraid of statistics and monotonous work, then you can try to make lists of all unique Touhou circles for each year (some ideas how it can be used were offered here). About less boring work, if you have access to QQ, I can offer you to count the scale of Chinese Touhou Doujin (make a table of all Chinese Touhou-only events (THBWiki's one is not full)). Or you can read some research papers and come up with your own idea for your research.

Update on 月刊ナイトバグ (Monthly Nightbug) and まんがイースタン I have decided to check on those axfc.net links again, and I have found most of the links are now able to download the files. Yep, a solution to download axfc.net is to wait, and then somehow the servers will be able to serve the files correctly? Anyway, the pdfs that I have been able to download have been archived on Internet Archive. IA: 月刊ナイトバグ (Monthly Nightbug) IA: まんがイースタン If you check out the Internet Archive links, you will also find which pdfs still need to be downloaded from axfc.net. As for the CORRUPTED notice for the last issue of 月刊ナイトバグ (May 2011), it appears that the corruption issue relates to axfc.net given that axfc.net gives a different MD5 hash on the online file info compared to the downloaded file. However, this is the first time I have encountered a file that is able to be downloaded from axfc.net that was corrupted, so hopefully this is an temporary issue.

Hi guys, I've introduced a new bug tracker to help and sort all issues with site and downloads into a trackable section. This will make it easier for our mods, rather than using forums posts and you will be able to see the status of each report. It's pretty simple, just click on Report new bug and enter as much information as you can and it will be created and it will notify the responsible peoples. This will be a replacement to the forum section, Nitori's Workshop. I will be adding more features to it as time goes on. You can find the section here and it's also in the menu manager above.

Notice: Due to the minimum requirement of contestants not being reached, the event will be postponed until the next weekend.

pinterest sucks cause i can't search "nightmare city" or "miyasuke" without seeing the most unrelated shi ever (image by me)
