I see the term used, but no-one defines what it is.

I seek an explanation.

I mean, simply looking for characters can't be 'leeching', given how Mugen works.

So what is it?

The strict sense of a leecher is "someone that takes and gives nothing in return". Basically a parasitical relationship.

You'll hear it more commonly in the community for someone though that takes, and then demands more (not excluding email harassment, hosting of works to 'get back at the creators', trying to weasel to get private creations, etc etc), and doesn't contribute anything at all to the community outside of "mutio rox" posts.

Yep.

People sign up at certain anime forums just to download anime. They don't care about the people who upload. The vast majority of them don't even care about posting at the forum. They just want to download. That pretty much sums up an anime leecher.

... and if you don't want to go for actual production, then providing useful feedbacks, enlightened comments, or anything that helps others improve (as much as possible, by keeping it polite) is also a contribution.
Even if you don't know much about fighting games or gameplay, you can still help by saying what looks weird, or even help the community itself.
Without going into the "everything is beautiful, I like fullscreen effects and pie, just chill and have a cookie and let anarchy take over" way.

As KFM said, in this particular community, the term is more generally used as an insult toward those who actually ask for more and bother others for it. If you don't even do more than just stay low, you won't be looked down upon.

A leaker gets private betas though some means (usually nefarious, or just someone turning out to be untrustworthy, though some leaks happen "because a friend gave it to a friend" and said friend didn't keep it to themselves), and distributes them online either privately through certain circuits or publicly through warehouses.

Leakers tend to kill off projects this way as many people lose their drive after being violated like this.

Um, there was a pretty huge topic about it recently, and it happens to be the first result in a search for "leecher." I wouldn't recommend using the term though. :P

Apparently, Mugen was somehow cursed with leaks ever since WinMugen was leaked. Sometimes I wonder if this actually happens as much as the hubbub created about it would lead you to believe.

People play it and does not care if Elecbyte bitch about it.
But when a Creator decide to make a character and it got leak somehow.
They start bitching too. Which is pretty ironic since they didn't care what ElecByte say.

Except Elecbyte didn't bitch. As a matter of fact, NOBODY knows what Elecbyte thinks but Elecbyte themselves, since they basically died without saying a word.

As for leechers, I've no problem with the people who just lurk around and download for there own personal usage. Hey, if they even have the courage to post on forum in proper English without sounding like an idiot, by all means. Hell, I don't even think these guys should be considered leechers.

BUT. BUT BUT BUT BUT.

The SECOND. The very SECOND that they start whining about privates, unrequestables (like those exist anymore), stolens, edits, or start begging people to "SEN ME DIS CHAR PLZ THX LOLOLOL stupidnoob@wtf.sux" or are trolling WIP topics begging for the creator to give them the character, or cream their pants every time a new Shin Orochi God Omega Raging Evil Demon Fallen SSJ9001 Lv. 6 Fucking Around-The-World Pimpjuice Ryu/Ken/Akuma comes out...

...THAT...is when they're considered a leecher, troll, noob, dumbass, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...

Well if I have to remain strictly on topic and be serious.
I'll guess I'll tell you.

Leaker: You should already know what a leaker is so far. A Leaker is someone who leak a character to the internet which is suppose to remain private.

Leecher: Leecher on the other hand just take take take, without giving stuff in return.

So this is pretty much the definition on both.

Hotreezy, what happens is that knowing full well how these foruns work, Dizzy apparently enjoys being one of those persons that attempts to create moral high grounds from thin air in order to try to catch others, how do you kids say nowadays... Riding dirty.
He is using the equivalent of going into an anime subbing board and start claiming that their methods are flawed and that they all are stealing the things they do so it should be simply accepted as normal by the community that someone else enters it and starts hosting all their stuff, what , you got mad that we are hosting your subs?! BUT AHA! You stole the material from the original artists and studios, so there, you got bad morals so its okay, See? Ive just proven you are an idiot, and an asshole. why are you getting mad now? have a cookie, here, have another cookie. you dont like it? you are gay, go have sex with men, have some more weed. you should all just chill geez.

...

...
You cant enter somewhere and try to put everyone on your boat by force and rudeness, entering a forum is a priviledge not a right.
sharing the guild is a priviledge and Dizzy, you will start treating it as that.
I dont want to see you keeping to bait people in and trying to stirr up confusion the way you are doing.

there is the very slim chance that you arent doing it on purpose, but saying stuff like you just said about winmugen being leaked is one of the old trolling techs that I hadnt seen in ages.
What did you expect to get from that? Our users would roll up and go like "oh geez, he is right we are using pirated software so we shouldnt be harsh on others!"
I dont support being harsh on noobs, there was many things on the whole mugen community that I never supported, its a game and its in the internet , and it shouldnt be taken so seriously as many take it.


HOWEVER.
You are crossing the line into full trolling, be advised, you are threading thin ice.
You've shown to be smarter than what you are acting, dont start being anti productive to this forum with constant baitings or we will have to do something about it.

Uhhhh Iced, you do realize I'm not taking the leak WinMugen seriously. It just a fact after all and many people already know it. I'm just talking about the irony of it. Is that really be something to be serious about?

Also, I never say stuff that certain people are not allow in the forum and such. Only guy I don't like is that KFM guy. But I never said stuff that he isn't allow anywhere. I don't even want to see him ban.  K.O.D and a few other said that I'm not allow anywhere. Is that how it suppose to be Iced, I'm not allow anywhere. That is fucking wrong and you know it.

As far as I know and concern, I only say stuff what on my mind, and if people think every word out of my mouth or type is pure disrespect, then I don't give two shit. Every time a argument came up and they stated their opinion but at the same time insulted me. I'm sorry man, but I'm not gonna be bother being fucking serious anymore. So I'll just say here a cookie and chill out already. It too difficult to be serious about it if people state the same thing over and over or try to insult me.

I don't care if you think I'm a troll or I'm walking on thin ice.
I know what I said and I'm sticking to it.
Whether I'm joking or being serious.

You meant, "that fucking wrong and you know it." You're supposed to be uniformly ignoring the word is mid-sentence, along with plural forms and past tense. Or perhaps you used is for emphasis? :ninja:

EDIT: \/------- Sigh, what I'm actually doing is reminding DizzySoldier to stay in character. ::) Moreover, written communication is what we do here; always surprising how mentioning it elicits throwaway responses like this. Besides, he's not making "minor grammatical errors"; he forgot to conform to one of the errors he decided to make each and every time he has the opportunity to do so. Every one of his posts reads like a junior high special needs essay, and they number about 30 times what they ought to. Oh wait, 0 times any number is 0.

Is there some sorta time-limit for these to pop-up?

Cause I'm dead serious we decided finally on it.

To be OT:

Leecher is someone who just downloads and plays for fun and hangs out.

The more hated kind are those who Ishida went over...although it may very with the uber chars such as Demon Akuma and what not.

Sure one point or time even some creators before fully becoming that got into a char that was premo powered and liked it. <_<

See, this one is a bad example. Doing nothing and thinking it's important too, therefore concluding that others shouldn't care just because you don't.

Are all people who don't bear the title of "Contributor" in the Guild considered what you guys call, Leechers?

^ Titiln's answer wins.

Technically, yes. Within this community, no.

You don't find out about your average leecher. They have no account that they post with and they do nothing, they just DL. Leechers (or as i call them, gits, bastards and assholes) are the ones who make an account specifically to rant about what they aren't getting and doing as much as possible to gain these things.

Oh, and i suggest reading the rest of the thread otherwise we're gonna have the bloody definition on every page.

while i've only just recently gotten into MUGEN, from what i see and know, i consider leecher as basically someone who wants and wants and wants and orders people to make things. i mean, classifiying anybody who downloads without making as "leecher" seems unfair. perhaps some people learned of how MUGEN works, and thought it would be interesting. i personally find nothing wrong with that. if they want to just download things, thats their choice. the characters are made by the creators, and the characters are made to be played with in the engine. if someone wants to just play, and doesnt feel like creating, thats fine IMO. now, if they act like an ass and tell people to make characters for them, thats different.

i myself, i currently just am interested in the engine, and have messed around with it, downloaded characters to try, etc. does that make me a "leecher"? from what i've seen/heard, thats a yes. that seems unfair. as i've said, some people just wanna play MUGEN. MUGEN is, well, meant to be played, i guess. but again, if their gonna be an ass and beg and whine, then thats different. but people who just download, "hey, im a fan of xxx, surely this will be cool" then sure, their having fun with the engine. thats kinda the point right?

sure, i do more than just play it. heck, right now im working on my first character. i am aware and acknowledge the fact that character making requires work and time, and that creators deserve some praise/feedback/etc. as for "giving back to the community" i cant answer that, i myself barely interact with the community at all, at least, not yet.

1-People die when I get my hands on them and finally drain them off adrenaline.
2-Babies come from the mother host.
3-A leecher is another name for a simbyote , namely one that is an asshole to its host.

Actually, agree totally with "discussion closed" this has been argued before and will undoubtably be argued again in a year once this thread has left the page cos we've all got bored of it someone else will post exactly the same thing.

As noone is now reading more of this thread than the last page, leaving it open is really just an invitation for more questions that have been answered.
