[split] Quality vs Quanity - the state of expansion art

[Odin]

Split from spam thread after this post. Some of the longer posts would be downright brutal for phone based users to scroll past.

The community for this stuff was really big almost 10 years ago. Even by the time I got involved it wasn't what it used to be.

Chubbychannel was only made 5 years go because we all got tired of having to put up with the admins on a much older site that most of us first started talking to one another on.

And while we've held our ground here only having to tolerate the slow wearing away of time, the community we came from has fragmented or outright vanished entirely.

Most of the good artists either stopped producing entirely or have gone to a pay to view model that few people here can afford or are willing to support.

Artists that produce content of questionable legality or really poor quality are still around, but usually live only on deviantart and tubmlir without bothering to use forums anymore.

A big part of what made other sites like this thrive is the content threads, people contributing their collections and their works to the threads until a massive stockpile was built up.

These days that's what the chans are doing, everyone posting from their stash and saving what they like. So the only reason to come to a place like this is for the casual chat, as the chans do not really allow for predictable conversation or for people to get to know one another.
