So I thought this warranted its own topic. I just got done reading Kentarii's farewell post and something he said caught my eye.

So wait wait wait....Why is ESOHEAD not sharing this data openly?
Considering "their" data is the efforts of this very community (including myself) and the fruits of the public openly sharing
their data with them... That data belongs to the community, to the players, to the developers, and to those that donated it in the spirit of data SHARING and collective contribution. It's now that same community that ESOhead is now shutting out by denying access to the very data that was shared with them to openly further the games documentation and developers? Seriously? How can anyone justify this?
I
MUST be missing something here?
