First release.

We don't normally police mugen content that's posted on these forums, but this was just brought to our attention. Telling people not to upload to Mugen Archive is one thing, but making direct death threats in a readme file is NOT okay.

Alright, I'm sure many of you are familiar with Archive in recent years and this is something that I have brought up in private with the rest of the staff, but I would like some public feedback regarding a possible change in our policy regarding MFFA links. This thread isn't meant to guarantee a certain outcome, but we feel some public feedback may help influence our final decision.
 
For those of you who are unaware, back in June of 2016, we made the decision to blacklist any and all download links from Mugen Archive in light of their decision to use Adfly as their primary source of revenue. You can read about our reasoning for this decision here.
 
In recent months, however, it would seem that Mugen Archive has turned to another source of ad revenue and have discontinued their use of Adfly/Shortest, thus, no longer posing the security threat that we originally blacklisted them for. Because the sole basis of our decision no longer applies, I feel that it's appropriate to finally lift this ban that has been in effect for the past two years.
 
Others that I have spoken to did have some concerns that could potentially be used against this decision. Notably, the biggest concern deals with Archive's "Community Weekend" events, which temporarily throttle and/or disable downloads for non-registered users, making them unreliable hosting. While this is true, the same could easily be said of other sites like sendspace, which are not currently blacklisted. Unlike sites such as 4shared, which require registration, the same does not apply to Archive, despite the aforementioned limitations. While this may not affect release threads too much, this could be a concern for those hoping to use archive links in collection threads.
 
I just want to reiterate that the conduct of certain MA members, unless they are actively compromising the security of MFFA or its members, shouldn't play a factor in this decision; this deals primarily with the linking to hosted downloads, if a member of MA is caught breaking the rules of MFFA's forums or discord chat, they will be handled with as we would any other user, independently of any other Mugen community they may be associated with.
 
That being said, I would like to know what everyone's thoughts on this idea are.

If the author wanted to use english language clips then that's the author's decision. More than likely english is the author's native language and would prefer to hear something that makes sense, instead of inadvertently adding a language that they're not familiar and end up in an embarassing situation where the character ends up saying something like "suck my a-hole" for a Normal move or something.
 
Just move on from it, it's honestly not that big a deal in comparison to stuff that actually matters, like the gameplay.

@yuri linda I'm going to ask that you keep it civil here. Plasmoid and Flare are both entitled to their opinions and ultimately because Plas is the curator of this collection thread, it's ultimately up to him to decide if the characters you want added are of sufficient quality to be added to the collection or not.
 
In Flare's defense, his statement was based on the observation that the majority of the characters you want added are, in fact, sprite swaps and/or hastily edited from other characters with little to no attempt done to differentiate them from the base character, which can be construed moreso as an objective observation rather than a subjective opinion, so please don't attack others purely because he said something you may or may not agree with. This goes for both sides.

English dub because Japanese screeching makes my ears bleed.

This post is god awful and sounds wrong

So releasing a character without its original voice is a problem now? You've got jokes.
