Actually there were two things that killed the thread.
1. There was a rule that if you posted art not made by you you'd have to link the art to the artist every time put in place after someone complained their art got here somehow but they want to be known it's theirs(although if you saved it, it showed their name in the save name, but they wanted it to be written with big letters even if you did not of course)
2. There were some people after that who started claiming their art is best and everyone should use their guide lines, and this started to annoy more then a few others because even them, the ones saying the rules, were not using them but they tried to enforce them on others.
