Wow that is such a shame for not able to upload ecards and Iphone wallpapers anymore..I kinda noticed there are some sections gone when I logged in today but didn't pay much attention to it, Thought it was another upgrade to theO or something....
Oh man suddenly I missed the old Otaku days were everyone was still active... and it's not that long ago.... TheO started to go downhill in 2013 everone left one by one....
Well anyway I doubt theO will shut down completely, or rather I hope not... You never know these days
Good things comes 2 those who wait, The things you lost will always replace something better..
Adam just posted something about this on the site's main page. Apparently the reasoning behind getting rid of the e-card section is due to e-cards not getting enough views or usage. Of course another part of it could be the art theft thing, not to mention the fact that it seems like over half the e-cards that get submitted to TheO are garbage pieces that people just throw together in like less than a minute.
As for the Mobile Wallpaper section, it seems that the reason why that went away is because smart phones and tablets keep coming out in different sizes and it's become too hard for the site to keep up with all the different screen resolutions that the newer devices have.
I don't think things are that bad. The fan art, wallpaper and fan comic sections are still going pretty strong. Plus maybe by eliminating these two sections they'll be making room for some new things.
I'm wondering if they closed the sections because we've gotten art thieves spamming the eCards section... Keba Si Rota made a post about it here. So maybe it's Adam's attempt at trying to stop the art thief, since all other measures have been exhausted and they're still running loose.

Yeah I agree with you...One thing is sure though theO can expect less members logging in now that those two sections are gone..

I really don't think that TheO is going to go into a complete shutdown. Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the possibility existed.
The greatest fear is that of the unknown.

I'm really scared that this website is going downhill fast :( I honestly worry it'll go down for good one day
