# As /board has died, have some drawing even if just to keep it rolling over.

Seriously, what's happened to this place?

# Darren left
it all went wrong after that

That and people can't be arsed to comment anymore and that makes people not bother posting pictures.
Because posting without feedback is as unsatisfying as farting in a corpse's face.

# I think it was around the time that everyone accused everyone else of being an attention seeker
I mean if you're going to take the time to make a picture and post it on a messageboard then you're probably hoping for some level of attention

I'm not trying to remove myself from this, I probably played a part

# It's been a slow decline over the last 7 years
a lot of new social media outlets have appeared to distract people and internet 2.0 bubbles where creatives felt there was a point in posting shit on the internet have burst.

Thankfully a few of us keep waving the shitty flag as a beacon to others should they consider returning and posting a picture of a kitten on a spacehopper or somesuch

# I blame Rob's lack of interest in the place.
Sure, he might get more advertising revenue from his other projects, but it wouldn't hurt for him to liven the place up a bit from time to time.
I still maintain that the 2-image-challenge-per-week idea would help (1st choice idea runs all week, 2nd choice gets three days starting on the Monday).

# Must agree Colonel
Some of the recent challenges have been a bit samey, and for someone like me who doesn't have the skills, it can be a struggle to even come up with something that will generate at least a comment. Looking at the archives, there used to be a few spontaneous challenges that were popular. Smash Monkey's blind drawing challenges always draw a good few entries ;)

# I do apologise, by comment I meant reply
as in to suggest there was someone else here.
I replied to Boris' question.

# Or perhaps it's because the people that do reply
Reply with a shit picture or joke, giving no feedback whatsoever.

Or perhaps the fun was sucked out of it by moaning cunt mods.

I guess we'll never know.

# a shit picture in response or even a repost is better than nothing,
it shows that the original post has provoked a thought, even if it is a throwaway one.

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

# What they said, and a lot of the older b3tans have grown up, got jobs and made themselves busy with offspring
Don't worry, they'll be back here when the offspring have fucked off and dumped them in a retirement home.

Also, nice fluffs!
