Somehow the other fan driven databases manage to get updated... perhaps they have a legitimate way to do so? Otherwise they probably would get shut down?
They do it much like any other way to do it (which isn't fully "legit" based on ToS) but considering said sites are very useful tools to the community, much like FFXIAH, they won't shut it down as long as you don't display unreleased data - This is why it takes them a long time to update their own database because it will show stuff not available to us.
