>>2684075Drawthreads are practically the only source of new OC now, at least post-July. It used to be that it came out somewhat more organically from non-dedicated threads, which is where most early borche and cirno pictures came from, but now only requested art seems to get made and only rarely do you get something made on a whim like the Morning Leader.
In my opinion, Drawfags are the beating heart of your standard board's culture. Without them, you end up like /vip/ that is frankly a more primitive, less sophisticated version of /bant/, if such a thing is possible.
Likewise, I've seen stuff like cabbage-posting trickle from the anime stream, and I don't think the showing of Rozen Maiden and resurgance of desuposting on /bant/ is a coincidence. It's the same deal with the other services that make /bant/erers get together. Surely you remember the mootening that occurred during June?
