The other responses to this thread sadden me. To think that there could be some real competition in this genre if other sites were even halfway competent, but other sites' owners either refuse to pay site artists, site operations people, or both, or just behave so unprofessionally that FR staff treating their jobs like an actual job comes as a breath of fresh air. You'd think FR devs making questionable game design decisions as frequently as they do would hurt them more, but it's not like players have better choices when the whole "industry" is a circus.
