Everything got a bit nasty and I may have been caught up in that
but I can honestly say that a lot of fun b3ta people stopped visiting /board because of the ongoing shitty challenges and yes freebase too I guess I have to shoulder some of that responsibility.
Hang on, I thought we were officially blaming moggy-chan for everything

Any image challenge is only as good as the interpretation that's given it.
Some really dreadful-sounding ideas have spawned some fantastic work, and yes there are some where loads of entries crop up, but I don't think that's in and of itself a bad thing. Some image challenges give noobies a bit more confidence in posting, which can only be to the good IMHO.
The people who get really pissy about freebase are at least as much of a turn-off as the man himself.

freebase used to piss me right off
but then for some reason i started shopping him and now i find it pretty funny. i wonder if it's the fact that he causes so many polarised reactions that makes it?
