6. The information-processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the storage is further configured to store the plurality of items of data in association with second identification information indicating a user that posted each item of data, and the first identification information, and

the second processor of the information-processing device is further configured to preferentially obtain an item of data whose second identification information satisfies a predetermined condition from among the plurality of items of data stored in the storage.

7. The information-processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second processor of the information-processing device is further configured to obtain data from the storage before the loading is started.

8. An information-processing device, comprising

a memory; and

a computer processor configured to perform at least:

executing a process relating to an application program selected from among a plurality of application programs;

determining whether the application program or data used in the application program is being loaded; and

responsive to determining the application program or the data is being loaded, controlling a display to display information, which information is indicated by at least one item of data obtained via a network from a storage that stores a plurality of items of data during loading of the application program or the data, said at least one item of data being uniquely associated with the application program or the data being loaded, wherein

the storage is configured to store the plurality of items of data in association with first identification information that indicates respective related application programs, and

the computer processor of the information-processing device is further configured to obtain an item of data associated with the application program that is being executed from among the plurality of items of data stored in the storage, and wherein

while an application program or data used in the application program is being loaded the computer processor of the information processing device is further configured to perform controlling the display to display the obtained information associated with the application program,

the storage is further configured to store the plurality of items of data in association with identification information of the application programs and identification information of a process in the application programs,

the computer processor further controls the display to display information indicated by an item of data associated with a process corresponding to a time when the loading occurs in the process relating to the selected application program, among the items of data stored in the storage, and wherein
