Let me paint you guys a picture, using TBF (thebleachfanon) as an example, since Alpha brought it up.

Right now, many of you see no problem. Ohh, some cute users who are just spewing out some nonsensical work. What's the harm, they are expressing themselves, right? NF is a free little place full of laughs and merriment! Now let's move a couple months down the road. The users of NF who care about their work quality, meaning the users who are not only the most active but also get involved in site projects like the FC, become disgusted with the way the site is moving. Sooner or later, they decide it is time to move on, since they are just spinning their wheels here. And they leave for good. Meanwhile, the users who were the cause of it, who do not care about their work quality, continue throwing more shit out there until they get bored and a new activity takes up their interest; it is inevitable for this to happen when people don't care about their work quality and just do stuff for shits n' giggles; like what is happening now for many new users. Six months or so, down the road, those users pack up and leave because they started soccer or playing shuffleboard, or something like that, and then guess what happens: NF is abandoned. Left to rot. No serious users contributing, not even the nonsensical gibberish the non-serious users were doing, and it just... dies.

THAT is what happened to TBF, right down to a T. And BFF was dangerously close to this as well until me and Ten eventually stepped up and did something about it. So unless you want that happening to NF, I suggest you consider my proposal seriously.
