The archive is now a wasteland, IMO.

First is just the lack of stories. There's just no one uploading anymore these days. Back in 2012, I remember when EVERYONE was uploading. There would always be SOMETHING to read. Nowadays, the place is scarce and it really is a pity.

Second is some of the people there. About BM, I haven't seen much from him, actually. But the hate that went around is also unbearable. I clearly remember when someone had a poll whether he should have actually quit the archive. And if you go to their page, its STILL there.

I can CLEARLY understand hating a person but that's going WAY too far.

Third is its current state. The place kinda feels like some kind of dead zone. There really isn't any 'Joy' to the place anymore. Its even more disappointing that aside from Tumblr, its the only place to post Fics about Gumball I could find.

Also, some users are annoyed that their non-stories are getting taken down more often. I think there's this one user that's going around and taking all the rule-breakers and shoving them in a Community made for rule-breaking stories which is peeving some authors off.

I am writing something to post THERE but it will more than likely be missed. One reason I got a Tumblr. Because I have a chance at getting results.
