I like that while the Tap community is very friendly and seeks to uplift other artists who are still trying to get the hang of things, it never reaches hugbox levels of niceness (which is why I have never used the critique feature of my deviations on dA). which gets in the way of meaningful feedback.
I sure hope it does continue to have such a welcoming atmosphere in the future. Especially since the forums is where I go to to siphon off the toxicity and hostility from my other favorite site.
