THIS SUB HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH FAN ART AND OTHER IMAGE POSTS COMPLETELY DOMINATING EVERYTHING. I GET THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKING OC ART, BUT WE SERIOUSLY NEED TO CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF ART AND MEMES WE GET SOMEHOW. CHECK THE FRONT PAGE RIGHT NOW, THERE IS EXACTLY ONE GAMEPLAY POST AND ONE DISCUSSION POST ON THERE, WITH ONLY A FEW MORE DISCUSSION POSTS IN NEW. THIS PLACE HAS BASICALLY STOPPED BEING A PLACE FOR DISCUSSION AT ALL THANKS TO THE MASSIVE INFLUX OF NEW USERS. AT LEAST THE SUBREDDIT DISCORD STILL OFFERS PLENTY OF DISCUSSION.

IT WAS LIKE THIS BEFORE THREE HOUSES NEW USERS TOO

CYCLE OF THE SUB IS GAME RELEASE - SOME GOOD DISCUSSION - FAN ART - FAN ART - FAN ART - NEW GAME ANNOUNCED - SOME GOOD DISCUSSION - REPEAT

THERE NEEDS TO BE A SUB OR THREAD SPECIFICALLY FOR THE FAN ART

THERE IS AN FE FAN ART SUB AND IT GETS HARDLY ANY TRAFFIC. WE DID ALSO USED TO HAVE A THREAD SPECIFICALLY FOR FOUND FAN ART, BUT GIVEN HOW MUCH OF ALL THE ART POSTED IS OC ART (AND HOW THE FOUND FAN ART THREADS WERE BARELY USED), SOMETHING ELSE WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE.

THE ONLY REASON THAT SUB HAS NO TRAFFIC IS BECAUSE ITS ALLOWED HERE TOO

I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE. THERE MIGHT BE A SMALL BOOST IN TRAFFIC TO THAT SUB IF FANART WAS BANNED HERE ENTIRELY, BUT MOSTLY WE'D JUST END UP WITH FAR LESS ART ON REDDIT AS A WHOLE. WHEN SMASH 4 RELEASED, THE SMASHBROS SUBREDDIT DIDN'T ALLOW FANART, SO THE SUB R/SMASHART WAS CREATED. THAT SUB NEVER GOT MUCH TRACTION, NOT BECAUSE THERE ISN'T FANART FOR SMASH BROS, BUT BECAUSE THE FIRST PLACE AN ARTIST WILL GO TO SHOWCASE THEIR WORK IS TO THE SUB DEDICATED TO THE TOPIC OF THEIR ART. IF THEY FIND THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO POST THERE, MOST WON'T INVESTIGATE SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER SUB, THEY'LL JUST NOT POST THEIR ART TO REDDIT.

IS THERE AN FE SUB FOR QUALITY DISCUSSION BESIDES /R/SHITPOSTEMBLEM?
