It’s only been a few days since the first big pass at deleting the ai generated images, which was when things really changed. I don’t know how it’s going for everyone else, but, for myself? Since that first pass of the purge my volunteer time here has been completely devoted to helping artists again, or working through a backlog of old reports going back three months or more. I think a week ago I had more than 100 unanswered PMs and at least 20 open reports - some of them going back to June. Today I only have 5 open reports - only 2 of them more than a few hours old, and only 6 unanswered PMs. None of which looks like something I’m going to need therapy to get through. So … for me? It’s been a night-and-day change. It’s like this is an entirely different site. I once again have the time to actually respond to questions, and to write to people when their images are deleted to let them know what the problem was so they can avoid it in the future.

Who knows? By this weekend I might be able to start working the Artist Aliasing thread again.
