Zackwell's sad departure has inspired me to offer all of the OC I have contributed to /wg/ over the past couple years. I too have tried to be an anonymous janitor on this board (bumping good threads, guiding newbs and scolding idiots) but the barrage of junk content of late just isn't worth the effort anymore. I've been visiting less and less but there is still an occasional gem.
I didn't create any of the following images but I did make them all into walls. Though I've seen many on other wall sites... they all appeared first on /wg/. They are virtually all artwork because that's what I like best. Totally random...
Ladies and gentlemen, look around you. This board is in shambles. Desktop threads everywhere. One-post threads created by those unaware of the workings of the internet and its functions. It is this willful ignorance and blatant laziness that is sinking the ship we all try to keep afloat. We disclose the resources we use to find content. We make original content. We dedicate entire threads to image modification and desktop personalization. But it's all for naught; even now, at this very moment, the board is moving faster than ever due to the onslaught of stupidity.
It is one thing to help another man. It is another to cater to him; to spoil him; to ruin his opportunity to learn something by making an effort himself. It is this spirit that's been torn down and all but lost by those uncaring and unwilling to try.
