As for y!, I'm really ambivalent about it these days. I loved when it started that it was a place to put the things I couldn't really display anywhere else, but I'm over the thrill of it I suppose. There are only so many times a man's bits can flash across your screen before you tire of it. ;) For some reason it also feels like lately there is very little quality work up - prOn stick figures, anime characters, repetitious poses make up most of it- and their filters have rather slipped. Really not a place for me anymore.
THIS. Yes. THIS SO HARD. It really seemed that when it was new, Y! had a lot of really talented people there - and yes, while it was nice to have a place for teh prOnz (all three or whatever images I couldn't post to other galleries), most of the draw was the level of talent and friendliness that seemed to be there. But in the past year or more many of the amazing artists seem to have abandoned the gallery and a lot of what I see now is... er... substandard, as you say. There are still good artists there, but you have to really work to find them, and I just can't be arsed.
I just set up a tumblr, and yeah, it actually seems like it's a lot of fun. I don't really have time to poke around at it, sadly, but I want to.
