1954 here.
My apologies, I was simply trying to take a lighthearted approach, not come across as condescending. I will correct, I never meant to identify with 4chan's concept of anonymous, I was simply playing off of the name given to people who don't use a tripcode. (That is what they're called, right?) Please, believe me when I say I wasn't trying to speak for anyone but myself, it's just that everyone happens to have the same name.

Honestly though, I have to ask. So? What's your point? I've yet to see a fanbase that DOESN'T change like this at some point. It may belie my age, but I can still remember stories of Eternal September, and how it killed Usenet. WoW, Homestuck, 4chan, SA, Reddit, Facepunch... It's like there's some critical mass of popularity. My question is, what are you going to do about it? Should the community become more hostile to newcomers, growing more ingrained and elitist? Why not slap on restrictions to posting, that'll sure solve a lot of problems while still staying true to the *chan framework! If the fanbase has truly gotten horrid, there's two options ahead of you: Get out, or try and have a civil discussion on how to make the environment better. Just complaining does nothing.

I understand. I don't even like Append. It's too real in a way. It doesn't sound like Miku. I like Miku for Miku, flaws and all. Maybe it's the character, maybe it's nostalgia, but I still think Miku sounds "better" than the rest.

I suppose it's much like how I feel about other synthesizers. If you can accurately replicate the sound of something (but still be off by a bit) it sounds too much like the thing you're attempting to replicate, but still "off" in a way. Whereas a traditional synth sounds well, synthy. I like that "synthy" sound of Miku's voice.
