This thread was put up simply so we have a centralized place to share information on the current situation in Japan. I'm sorry if the title of the thread was not clear for some. I apologize for not deleting my previous thread which I started with the same purpose several days ago, as it has fallen several pages behind. It has now been deleted as that information is now superseded by information in more recent threads. My other thread (as noted in it's title, and as stated in the initial post) was put up as a place for people to find links to sites where they can gather updated information on the situation in Japan. I have not deleted that thread as it is still relevant and is in my signature so people can still link to it from there if they are still seeking information sources.
I'm sorry if you do not feel this is releveant to the current status of SE and (by proxy the state of FFXI). But many in this community do, and expressed their appreciation for it. Therefore I have been trying to keep at least one thread alive where they can continue to come to get updates without having to wade through tons of reports on other situations like Libya when they JUST want information on Japan. Many of the news media have been providing delayed information and much of that has been exagerrated. I have been putting forth a conserted effort to gather information from multiple sites and trying to limit the relaying of information that has been reported from sources closest to the situation and appears most credible. A good example is the 19,000 missing and dead estimate you questioned--that figure came directly from the Police Agency, not from news reporters tallied figures--from the Police agency that has been tracking reports from the teams actually surveying the areas.
If you are not interested in this information, you do not need to read the thread. If you have nothing informative about the situation to contribute, please, out of respect to those who are subscribing to this thread specifically for informative posts, refrain from posting it in THIS thread--feel free to post it in others, just not this one.
This will be my one and only attempt to moderate the traffic in this thread. If the trolling gets out of hand, I will delete the thread.
Thank you everyone for your concern for Japan and it's people, and all your contributions to getting information out thus far, and I look forward to news of better things to come.
