** Even better: go to any of the release threads where the author uploaded his/her stuff onto garrysmod.org and nowhere else. Make a post requesting the upload of the stuff elsewhere. There you go. The logic behind this is that a few months ago, garrysmod.org changed its login system so that during registration, the site requests Steam login information to check if you really bought the game. Not logging in means no downloading stuff; [[Genre Savvy]] authors tell everyone in advance not to ask for this.
** Some time before that, the site experimentally changed its downloading system to Bittorrent to reduce server load. After a week or so, the admins changed it back to FTP due to [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|the massive amount of negative feedback they got]]. Also, make a diminuitive post about SVN (version control software used by high-profile addons to ease updating), just try it.
* When it comes to [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s that are pay to play or have a cash shop, expect swift retribution to fall upon you if you so much as bring up lowering the prices. You'll get a few people backing you up and several hundred screaming at you about your selfishness.
** [[F 2 P]], or Free To Play MMMORPG's have somewhat of a different reaction, sometime you'll get the above reaction, where other times... not as much.
** This is played straight and horribly averted when it comes to Nexon, particularly with [[Maple Story]]. Those who love Nexon and declare that they can do wrong will lash out at you, and possibly some who bought items at full price. The other portion, the arguable majority, will rally in support of you, declaring that Nexon is evil and will insist that they drop or lower prices of cash items. Expect several hundred debates to pop up. And heaven forbid you attempt to [[Take a Third Option]].
