Welcome here, Lunatique and Eidothea :)
I was part of the last years of the golden age of art forums and although everything was already starting to crumble apart it was still an adrenaline rush learning experience. The internet was like the invention of the printing press centuries ago, but a million times more impactful. And chaotic.
Crimson Daggers' monthly challenges still have some of that spirit where people exchange a lot. The sketchbook section feels more like Tumblr except for the occasional fits of engagement, maybe because there are not enough people to constitute solid groups that share similar interests.
I'll resume updating my sketchbook thread in the hope I can help make the place more active and reach the critical mass.
