Well, as far as I know they had almost a complete change in staff, with Kolink remaining an admin just under a different username and Ledah becoming an admin as well. The others I have no experience with so I'm not sure. But it seems like a lot friendly environment.

I think because Pokemon switched from 2D to 3D sprites, it's becoming harder for people to develop into spriters because they don't have the sprites of some of their favorite Pokemon. I know that the reason I got into fusion and recoloring was because I wanted to make my own Shaymin. Had Shaymin not had a sprite, I probably would not have gotten into it.

I have to say my favorite forum community that I used to go on a lot was Fusemon. Up until the last few months, it was actually a pretty good community forum wise. It wasn't until a user named EnderDraconian777 (*shivers*) joined that everything just went downhill. The site was due to die anyway, but Ender (*shivers*) made it so much worse.
