I've been watching TouHou dominate the post counts and its only opponent left is.. Breasts.
Anyone think TouHou'll eventually get more posts than Breasts as well?

I'm more interested in why you capitalize the H in the middle =P
I'm also interested as to why the T was capitalized to begin with >_>

I get it, to emphasize the break between kanji. Tou Hou or 東方 <--forgive if text does not appear correctly. I do that sometimes.
There is no random capitalization in romanji. In fact, most of the time, things are written in all lower case. IE: in this particular case "touhou", not any funky upper case anywhere in the text. Most of the time, the only case where you'll see upper case is when you see something in all upper case, and that'd typically mean it's referring to a borrowed word (AKA only written in katakana Japanese).

Generally yes, but in this context, although it simply means east/Orient/etc, it's used as a proper noun, i.e. the overall name for the series. It is thus subject to English rules of proper noun capitalization (as the language we're communicating with is English in this thread). Thus we would capitalize it just like we'd capitalize anything else.
But yeah, you don't just randomly capitalize syllabic/kanji breaks when romanizing. Otherwise we'd have to say SuzuMiya Haruhi no YuuUtsu or Sayonara ZetsuBou SenSei. And, well... that'd be silly.
Edit: and this thread is now hopelessly derailed.
Probably half of the touhou posts arent even worth keeping, there are about 100 new touhou images everyday, and how many are really avarage/good? 30, 40? I really dont get this touhou fad, I wish artists would draw more different stuff instead of the 3000th Kirisame Marisa pic that looks exactly like the others.

I thought I was the only one that didn't get it, that's reassuring, lol.
I usually have a limit in my mind that I reach with any series, even ones I really like...once I hit that limit of pics I start getting more picky about what I save.

I actually think the Touhou images are, on average, of better quality than those of most any other series. So yeah, disagree. Also, "fad" is stretching it a bit... how long has Touhou been around now?
At any rate, just blacklist the tag if it bothers you. Artists like Touhou, oh well. But 88% of this site isn't Touhou, so you're hardly lacking in alternatives.
