The Greedy Visitor
If you have a Dragonball/Z/GT website, or any other
site that is a fan site for any particular multimedia, you would know that most visitors
to your site are greedy. It's true. They are also very lazy. I cannot count how many
e-mails I have received asking me to send files to them. First of all, why should I waste
my time sending files to you when I clearly post them on my site? If you are too lazy to
download them yourself when they are readily available, you have some problems. Also,
don't expect and update every hour, or as some of you seem to think needs to be done. The
webmasters have ACTUAL LIVES, whether you believe it or not, and they do not revolve
around YOU, the single visitor in thousands of others. If you have an intelligent question
to ask, or a decent suggestion to make, or even praise (which is always welcome :) then
you should send it. If you are planning on screaming (or should I say typing) your head
off, then please, don't even waste your time
writing the message.
Not only are many of you being greedy, but you are being ignorant at
the same time. You may ask, "What was Vegeta's power level during the Freeza
saga?" First off, from the way I've seen most e-mails look, it would look like this:
"Wha waz Vegitas pl during the freezersaga please". Anyway, if you are asking
this question, think about something first. Look at the website closely. Is there a
section clearly marked "Power Levels"? Well, if there is, take a look! Laziness
never pays
off. If there isn't, go ahead and e-mail them. But at least use proper grammar and spell
right.
On another note, there are plenty of nice visitors. Those are mostly
the people that understand that DBZ is a cartoon, a character cannot be offended because
it does not exist, and are mature enough to realize that most things on that glowing
screen that your eyes are glued to us not real. Especially cartoons; it doesn't take a
genius to figure out that it is fake.
Then there are the "DBZ InDUHviduals" (I love Dilbert) that
decide to make their own webpages. Sure, thats fine with me, just DO NOT use my material.
Have any of you out there had this happen to you? If it has, raise your hand. Ok, you can
put it down now. I see that most of you are extremely mad when this happens, and you are
in every right to be so. I would have to blow my top if someone took original material off
of my page (this would be a situation where you CAN type your head off,
you have a good reason).
So, if there are any "DBZ InDUHviduals" out there that are
reading this, don't worry. You'll learn how to indent your paragraphs too when you finally
get to third grade.
