Give me characters I can create any day. Can't speak for the rest of these goons, but AU versions of canon characters may as well just be replaced with original ones anyway.

Agree 100% with Yui.

Personally writing canon characters, even AU, always feels uncomfortable to me.

YCM was down for about 2 weeks early January, so the mods got sick of it and made this forum.

YCMaker took like 2 or 3 years to make Xyzs available in the card maker, then never made Pendulums, much less Links. The Card Maker lost its connection to Photobucket and lost all card arts and the ability to generate uploads for cards or art on its own. Bots started running rampart and adds got more prominent as mods and regular members alike wanted an actually active head with the power to fix things.

YCMaker doesn't really communicate with its member base the way he did back before the 2010s. Finally we had that sudden down time on Dec 28th that lasted like 2 weeks, and word one of our peers got the admin's IRL address and made some good old nagging to get him to finally pick up the messages and bring the site back. During that time many members considered it the best time to finally migrate everybody. YCMaker said he'd get new staff and upgrade the site when the site finally came back, but nothing has happened and if anything, the site went down for a day yet again yesterday.

That's what I know/have heard in a nutshell.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, guys! Definitely wasn't aware of all that... Hopefully things will go well on this new site!
