Questions regarding GGG's claims of preservation

Apparently, you (GGG) announced you are going to try to do preservation and are working on it, according to your twitter: RPGMakerSeries on X: "Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback to help protect the community and everyone’s important assets. We are currently working on how to archive the community assets from RPG Maker Forums. We will do our best to provide an update as soon as possible. https://t.co/6sHmiBORJv" / X

First you say it is legally impossible due to the copyrights being with the original post creators, but now that there is backlash, you are gonna do it?

So which was it? If it was a legal problem, what changed that let you suddenly not have that problem anymore? If it wasn’t a legal problem, why didn’t you do it to begin with?

The community deserves a straight answer on what happened here, because without one, how can we trust that you’ll even try to do this right? Or that you will actually keep up anything you do archive.

There is a lot of silence from both you and from Komodo. And generally what that tells me is that one side or the other didn’t have a lot of choice, and both are bound by partner agreements to not talk trash about the other.

Considering which side could suddenly turn on a dime and make a different decision, it is becoming very obvious to me that you are the side that had a choice.

The translation thing is kinda wonky, yeah. I’d assume it might cache a translation maybe for the first time you post, and who knows what it does after the edits.

I was also confused that before I was seeing the “see original text” button, but now I don’t. Turns out that button only appears besides posts that aren’t in your current language. I don’t know why I thought it would be besides any post, since it disables translation for every single post. It’s not a toggle like the one you see in Youtube, Twitter and such, that toggles only the post you ask.

It appears that a bug occurs when you post in multiple languages (e.g., providing both English and Japanese) instead of relying on the site’s automatic AI translation feature.

I received a comment on my post.

Please note that this post is written in Japanese.
