About the future of the community
You might have noticed that the number of submissions has decreased and that recently there has been one extension after another. The recent manga development hasn't managed to increase any interest in this icontest, thus my post.
As you might guess after seeing this post, the recent theme - despite being the easiest theme possible, I think - met with a complete failure. Only one person submitted their icons. To save this week voting I could have submitted as well, however, I decided against doing it. Two people interested in icon making, one of them being a moderator herself, are not enough to keep the icontest going.
That's why I want to ask all of you if you still have any interest in this icontest. And by the interest I don't mean voting and periodic checking the community, but icon making. Any input from you, dear members, would be appreciated. The comments are not screened this time, so you should also be able to discuss the matter between yourself without any problem. Depending on your answers, the future of this community will be decided. That's why I strongly encourage you to express your opinion here.
My apologies to my fellow mods for not having discussing the issue with them first, but I think that this particular issue is something that all the members should have right to say something about.
As of now, the community is on a short, hopefully, hiatus. There will be no voting today and no new theme posted.
