Back to the original point of the topic...
Like many others, it was the Renamon craze that drove me from the old DaD03 in the first place. Of course then I didn't really draw much.. I was just starting out. Hell I did make a few things and posted them. They got almost nothing in replies in comparison to other top hits at the time. And since I sure as hell I don't like drawing Renamon and adding to the craze, I never really continued my drawing. I eventually separated myself from the entire DaD board becuase of this.
From there I found other places like the DHZ or even Hybrid Halogen's new board for right now. There was just about no preference for any certain characters, so there wasn't any limit such as only drawing Renamon. I got motivation and praise of course... and look at my art now! Due to praise and such, I managed to become what I am now. And the lack of Renamn purists begging for renamon here, I now return (to some extent) even though I may only get 5 to 10 posts per pic I post after I put a LOT of work into them. That brings up another problem all together.
So... I actually find the anti renamon sentiment a GOOD thing... yet if it turns to the point where evereyone absolutely HATES renamon then it starts all over again... the Renamon artists will leave and head for other places. Damn it's good to keep it all equal... as well as not separating the top artists (Prophet, Acchan, B.. the list goes on) from the lesser new artists. Those are the 2 things that keep the balance of artists here. Incentives don't really have anything to do with it... it's all praise! (Praise feels good damnit :P ) I've tried drawing stuff in the beginning.. the DaD03 time period. No praise = almost no motivation to draw at all. No praise = BAD!!!
---------------------------
On a separate note, it seems funny how now that the Renamon craze has passed over, everyone is actually showing their ture favs... such as Mr. B over there and his Miyako/Yolei. And then of course me and my Biyomon and Sora. :P Before it was hard to see anyone saying their fav was much besides Renamon.
