Forget this website honestly. While it might be the most "popular" OC website, it has absolutely zero moderation. The admin is incompetant and refuses to hire any help and on a website this large that is ridiculously stupid. The website has been in the same alpha development for years with no sign of ever actually going public neither, not that it even matters since getting a code is very easy.

The website is full of doxxing, harassmennt, stalking, callout posts and generally drama hungry children to the point the website has multiple "drama" blogs just dedicated to talking about the users who use it, often full of nefarious claims to the point many users will admit to feeling on eggshells while being on site. Users have no etiquette and will dogpile you openly if they disagree with you. If you like problematic material ie. Anime with 18+ themes, transgressive works of fiction, forget it - they'll harass you off site. Tickets raised do not get answered for months at a time - if you're okay with being scammed, having your characters disrespected or stolen or otherwise planning on locking yourself down on "quiet mode" and being a hermit go for it. Quite frankly out of all my years I've never been on a site as badly run or with as many reactionary cruel users.

Stick to other OC sites. Refsheet, charahub, ocbin, etc. The lack of moderation or concern from the admin at all and seemingly being complicit in allowing users to make insane bogus callout posts accusing people of horrific crimes ranging from pedophilia to abuse is absolutely monstrous. I actually think the admin is scared of the userbase and backlash that they have lost all sense of a backbone. It's the users that control the website and they do it by bullying and harassing others.
