The thread is a shell of what it was.
It's just not worth it, decent OC has stopped posting or posts infrequently now, the ones that hang around for more than a day get chased off anyway, spergs here spam off-topic bnwo shit and other slop. I'm sure the posters here will eventually branch to a different website or just quit entirely, especially after the most popular posters decide to stop posting if they do.
