I sincerely hope this new batch of artists actually stays. I keep getting hopeful whenever some of my favorite artists join only to notice months later that they went back to birdsite.

I think the reason this place works for me is because I came here to start over, not to continue. Everyone else feels the pressure of their fanbase pulling them back to the places they tried to leave, especially when they rely on commissions for a living. Looming rent payments make for quite the anchor.
