DEAR INTERNET,

We are deleting this soon because it sucks. Nobody seems to understand what it is about anymore and it's mostly just shitty and tiresome.

PEACE,

ghostparty and hotgluegun

if you're seriously that upset over what it's turned into and don't want to work to set it right, then I understand just wanting it gone, but there are over 1400 people that must be enjoying it (MYSELF included), so maybe you could turn it over to someone else instead?

[humanemotion]

i second this!
this community is actually one of my favorites.

It seems like it'd be better to just start something new. People are notoriously possessive over communities and like to play god with them. It's very unlikely that it'd be turned over to anyone. Plus it seems like this one has kind of run its course. Posts sit in the moderation queue for an insane amount of time and the posts all show up in big bursts every week or so, which is really kind of annoying.

yeah I noticed that too and I figured as much, but it was worth an ask. it just seemed a little hardcore to me to totally eliminate a community that's this active and popular, but if I were as dissatisfied with its performance as they seem to be, I wouldn't be comfortable with leaving it to continue on that course either

[anteriority]

Yeah, that's the thing that doesn't really make sense to me either. If you have total control over what gets posted, then how can you complain about it not being what you want? That's the whole point of moderated posting...you control what shows up. So, who knows. It all seems a little elitist and obnoxious to me, which is sad because the idea behind the community is so nice.

I was thinking of starting something up in a similar vein. Do you want to co-conspire with me? I already run several communities as it is, but I don't mind adding one more if it's something like this one. What do you think?

I'm game. AIM? A/S/L?? aha. you can reach me through conservation of

[oatmeal_reester]

i totally agree with what you said in the first paragraph

[anteriority]

Thank you.

logue and I are working on a new community to hopefully pick up where this one left off.

[confettinoise]

i'd be willing to help if you two needed any. i'd deffinetly join and submit a few things.

i don't know if i'd be able to call people's artwork shitty and deny alot of it because it isn't the exact "nice art" the group was looking for though. would it be as strict as this community wanted to be or would it be more open?

[logue]

not as strict as this community wanted to be, but at least as good as most of us find it at the moment, the same kind of quality of things that were posted here, but not, you know, just anything. yeah, specific huh. anyway, I'm sure if anteriority or I get swamped, we'll come running.

[hotgluegun]

i'll post a link to a new community if you want to make one. this community just happened to get way too unmanageable and attracted a completely different audience than was originally intended. no hard feelings, plz, and all of us genuinely enjoyed some of the stuff posted on here.

[logue]

thank youu very much and I understand and its all good etc
