Apparently the new slogan is meant ironically, because the portal has become more "samey" over time. It's incredibly rare to see something like AHATWI80D or anything as simple, yet clever as that.
i agree with a lot of the other stuff you were saying about the portal declining when the spam crews stopped submitting. but i dont agree about afro stud
i think the ATWI80D stuff was abysmal. it was one of the reasons i stopped organizing dailytoons, people assumed that because our flashes had the same name every day they were the same thing everyday just like his stupid shit. less and less people watched, more and more people voted 2 without watching, and as a result the only way to get even remote attention was to PM tom and beg like an idiot for front page
you want your work to stand alone but at the same time its such a tiny and idiotic audience that still actually judges the flash that come through the portal, its not an accurate guage of quality anymore and it never will be
