I had been pointed to your post, and must say I feel offended by how quick you judge things.
- All of the staff of PSUPedia has imported Phantasy Star Universe, and has not just been "watching videos on Youtube". What made you say this, other than perhaps an irrational dislike, is beyond me.
- I've finished and understood the offline game, and browse sites to find information like any Japanese person would. I can tell you these things help a lot.
- If PSUniverse does not yet have information about certain topics, then regarding those aspects, they cannot really be competing with anyone, now can they? This may be just me, but personally I also think it's kind of hard to compare dynamic sites to wiki-based ones.
- You are using the word 'us' to refer to this site, making the implication that somehow you are part of their staff, or somehow gain anything from their success. Are you perhaps an extreme-right-wing patriot as well?
By using 'competition' you also imply that somehow, if people from this site were to visit other sites as well, this site would somehow be hindered by that, like if in real-life a company's employees would buy products from the competitors. I don't think where you got this, but it's not really true. If anything, it might enrich the knowledge of the userbase of this site. PSOW, as well as PSUPedia, have been able to pioneer information because their users did not act like xenophobes, and were willing to interpret information from foreign sites.
I understand your intentions are to be of use to people you like over here, but at this rate you're not only limiting the visions and knowledge of people around here, but you would also appear as a prick.
Personally I think the same way as RebelMaren, and would like for all of the people interested in PSU to be able to cooperate regarding information.
