Are things slower around here?

[Sevenstitch]

I think I should stress that the user base used to be toxic;
I don't want anyone to infer that I was "calling anyone out," because I wasn't; it just so happens that the names
I listed were some of my favorite artists on the site at the time, and some of them seemed to like to stir the pot quite a bit

most of the older users that have dwindled away have moved on to other forums, and other communities
and a little research would gleen that most of them have chilled out or straightened up considerably
hell, some are downright sociable now
Thankfully age and experience have helped that, and some of them even have steady paid work

sometimes we even get surprise visits from them (even if by using alt accounts), and that is always a treat
It's fun seeing familiar faces, especially when they have new cool things to show us
