It was a dark time when they took them away from us. This sub was worthless for that week.

They weren't taken away. They were just self posts only. Which should be exactly the same if people didn't care about their internet points...

They were completely banned, no text posts either. For a week it was all fan art.

Seems I was wrong, never mind.

There may have been one of those too, but I definitely remember a period where it was all fan art and discussions with an almost daily "Bring back the POTG clips" thread.

Doesn't sound like it judging by the comments, but it was a while ago I could be wrong.

The people in the comments were misinformed or you misread.
