Been a member for well over a decade, as was mentioned before, at one time there were some seriously phenomenal artists participating, but as the rules got lax, and the admins turned a blind eye, the mediocre began to dominate, and the real artists(i. E. professionals) began to leave in droves. This could have been averted by simply following the original guidelines of the site. I the latter years I was actively trying to recruit top-notch artists back to the site, but they would invariably show up, see page after page of generic photo edits(generally gleaned from stock sites) and never come back. It would appear that the site itself is currently down.
