*Actually, I think they all  just left in disgust and what remained behind, for the most part. were the conformists, the kind of persons who follow the leader unthinkingly, who follow the trends no matter how dumb the trends may be.
The general I,Q of  these CG websites has sunk to the "village idiot" level over the last 5, or so, years.
This is what happens when "commercialization" becomes predominant; everything sinks to the lowest common denominator. It is the dark side of the "free market", the leveling down of everything.
The best of times were the times before the stores caught on, when all the models were free, and the level of debate, and argument, in the Forums was high. It was a time of real sharing, and not a time like now, of huckstering buyers and sellers, pretending to be a caring community. It is not a community any longer, but rather a drive-in flea market where hype rules the day.
Whatever quality still remains on these websites will continue to fade away. There is still enough, barely enough, quality remaining at the present time to keep me here for the time being.
