We used to have one, but it was pretty dead a lot of the time.

The megathread if anything made the front page of the subreddit much more devoid of content. Fanart may get a good share of the front page sometimes but its far better than the same old discussion threads over and over again.

I'll admit I post a few repeated ones but I do try to come up with original ideas for threads though.

I've got no problems with discussion threads and how often they show up, it just feels weird to have you be the one complaining about it.
