Isn't a surprise that StackSmash isn't in a good moment right now. You know, days without updates, lack of more-detailed textures (I not say that our textures are bad, I really love the work of my buddies, it just that the detailness of DasDonkey/KCMM textures (which are really impressive, specially the ones from JuLz/Akari_Un) are kinda like "squeezing us" and i think we need to deliver that with the same), things that you probably know, that are making us, in some way, to lose public and the popularity/motivation we had a year ago.
Well, I think that it's a good thing to have such talented competitors, it makes people go the extra mile and try to deliver the best they can...
Also, it's not only stack smash, it's all the other sites that lack something too.
ESH has a lot of useless posts, I don't mean to throw [censored] at them, but sometimes they only have teasers, written drama or drawings.
Stack Smash is lacking updates, and sometimes quality in the textures, and it used to be my favorite texture site...
KC MM sometimes lacks also new work from its members, but they kinda worked that out with the showcase.
DasDonkey is awesome, but seems like their site is not that popular... it's hard to find any response to their updates.
And there are all the other sites that (without offense) I don't think they have many good textures.
Maybe it's that textures are beginning to lose popularity... but all the sites are having kind of a slow development.
Now, I really hope that you can keep on doing textures, yours are some of the best there are, and those revamps look simply stunning.
Good luck to you in this year.
