I'm not sure that's the case, the board just picked up on them. I've never seen them spammed here (other places I can't say). Because I'm just about the only person that uploads Haruhi stuff into the galleries, and most of the time I'm more than happy to provide other links. I've forced the galleries down absolutely no one's throats to my knowledge, and I intend to keep it that way.
I just thought in this case that it's just a nice gesture to the translator to give them a couple of hits to give him some gp. And yes, downloading is member only, which can be annoying, but is also somewhat necessary.
Anyways, the point is that I wasn't trying to be a bastard about it. Should I have posted a rapidshare along with the gallery? Yes. But then I almost guarantee you that a lot of people would just go straight for that and bypass the gallery link entirely. And it's not like it's a "click this link to give the person money" thing. The rewards for the currency you get from the site are just for downloading other things or getting on-site perks, nothing more.
Anyways, I think I'm done digging my own grave, so can people just enjoy the translation already?
