>>34763084because /vg/ discords sap activity away from the threads and encourage attention whoring
drawthread discords are fundamentally different because:
- all of the artists already have an identity anyway
- they have to be in the thread to request and deliver art
all that the discord does is give the artists another reason to hang around and do more art. Doing requests on the discord is explicitly banned, so this thread's activity won't be destroyed like what happens in /vg/.
Every other draw thread on other boards has a discord, and they get along fine. It's just one or two autists on /vp/ who are absolutely convinced it's the sole reason the threads are so shit
hint: it's not. We've had the discord since august 2016, and a link to it has been in the OP until a few months ago. Removing the link has had zero affect on the quality of the threads.
The reason draw threads are shit is because it's the time in the pokemon circle where most people have lost interest except for the more hardcore players. Wait for gen 8 for stuff to pick back up again.
