I'm still thinking it's because a lot of the people on the sites we use are either college age or younger, and right now, it seems from what I've hard EVERYONE is busy with finals and stuff before summer, so it could be that it'll pick up a little when summer gets in full swing.
Oh, sorry I surprised you ^_^; I subscribed to you a while ago after seeing your artwork - it's so good! It is pretty sad that MyOtaku got left behind, and it does seem a lot harder to get attention these days.
you've got to be kidding me! o_O...well that's cool and not cool...I'm glad it's up there, but seriously, if you look at it it's numbers aren't off the charts...it shows how dead the site is that it takes so little to get into the "most active" category, lol
O_O...whoa...someone I don't know commented on a post...??? lol no, it's just it seems so few worlds ANYWERE get much attention unless the user is popular or got their post published. I wish they would have just revamped MyOtaku, that system was easier.

I agree that the default should be order of submission rather than popularity. I almost always switch to the "freshness" view so that I don't miss anything.
actually, I downplay most of what I said now, other pictures ARE in there, the big problem actually does seem to be that they really are that dead, looks like there's stuff still in those categories after days, cause I guess there's not that much happening...I bet it's because of school...But I do still think it's a bit unfair the way the constantly display only the popular stuff.
yeah, it's like, unless you're "popular" or hit at just the right time, or do fanart of just the right series, you have a major chance of getting passed up, becuase, hey, people are lazy browsers a lot of times, I do it, I don't always go and sort through every category on deviantART. why would it be different here.
also, did you notice how it seems really dead lately in general? like I'm not seeing a lot of new stuff coming in...crap...well I just realized something, while I'll give it the BOD, as it could be everyone's busy finishing school before summer, it could also be that beacuse they're capitalizing on the "popular" we only see the most popular up until the "newness" or hype wears off...crap, I'm checking this out, that's it.
