Out of interest, do you watch international content? Because they commission and buy in so much of that compared to the others.

Many people who make and maintain communities aren't best-suited to do so. You need to keep the airwaves open and post even when no-one else is.

Didn't Farscape S05 plan to explore the Nebari more if it happened?

I don't think Black Books was cancelled as such, I just think Dylan Moran was done.

To be fair, I wouldn't call anything like that a cashgrab.

That stuff is expensive and risky.

I'm afraid I can see why that happened. It was very expensive and had insane user drop-off.

Then you're upset about the opposite of my question lol

You mean you want it to be cancelled?

Season 2 is a better season. The weaker plotlines aren't as weak at all, and the Empire genetic dynasty carries the day just as much.

Every small-to-medium sized community trying to build will have a handful of users like this. I managed to discover the serial downvoters on my old lemm.ee comm and when I banned them (about 4 of them?) it had a huge impact. They didn't all downvote /everything/ but they downvoted a lot of things, and no contribution. And if they got in early, they could sink new threads.

Made a huge difference.

And the unnatural and extremely sudden increase in mentions - over just the last week or so, it's gone from Piefed almost never being mentioned anywhere to it being mentioned in hundreds if not thousands of threads a day. That also makes me suspicious.

It was gaining momentum anyway, but the big reason was the collapse of lemm.ee - which held many medium-sized communities having to find a new home. A lot (not all) chose piefed.

Piefed isn't a centralised system itself. There isn't just one Piefed instance.
