Earthquake threads were sort of relevant because

A) SE is in Japan, and therefore it could

B) directly affect Final Fantasy XIV (like it did)

and finally

C) Square Enix themselfs started helping with donations

Osama Bin Laden threads are NOT relevant because

A) They're in no way, shape or form related to FFXIV, no matter how hard you try

therefore

B) They're completely unrelated "General News". There are far more appropriated places to discuss these things other than here.
