The biggest problem is the registration process is broken so no new members can join. The site needs to be totally upgraded.
So wait... that means we can share information just amongst ourselves?

Am I the only one who finds that interesting?

I thought Discord was predominantly for NFT chat?

Nope. Chat about anything as long as in the right channel. There is a collector chat where folks talk prints and fine art.

Ha ! What's up gang ? Lot's of old timers here. The world has devolved a lot since we all got excited about Shep's speaking truth to power ...or so we thought. Now we find him safety masked up over the invisible boogie man plandemic hanging out with Devo's Mark 'virtue signalling' Mothersbaugh also face diapered selling us on embracing big daddy government keeping us safe - the new Commie world order while we abandon the 2nd amendment to pave the way for unfettered mass immigration of authority loving lefties looking for Shep supported UBI equality for all in the race to the totalitarian bottom where all are equally enslaved. Maybe that's why this place is a ghost town ? Or maybe Shep's other propaganda passion ..the earth destroying CO2 we all selfishly exhale has formed some sort of debilitating hypoxiatic cloud over the now sleep induced community? All the new collector fans sheepishly (Shepard 'Frank' anybody ?? ..Shepard sheep obey sheep shepard ? ..too perfect) embrace the same totalitarian philosophy which isn't the same sort of passion that built this forum in the first place. All the world is a stage and this one served it's purpose but the conversation is now one way ... top down.
Be Honest. I know more than you can imagine.

Well, TBH, it really is mainly about NFTs.

There are some nice things about the Obey Discord ... like Shep showing up for live AMAs. Not something that can be done here.

There is plenty of NFT chat -- but also very active discussions about things like stickers and street murals ... lots of pics of both from out in the wild ...

And in fact, at this very moments there is a great thread there with folks sharing close-ups of great collaging they have in their fine art pieces ... very cool to see these up-close-and-personal shots!

I do miss the conversations and information exchange. Hope everyone is well. You can find me on Instagram now @notudon. Though not much Obey Giant content, mostly sneakers.

I stopped regularly updating the wiki and posting release info back in 2020 when the activity was starting to die down… sadly a lot of discord and social media stuff is more people complaining about flipping (or discussing value) than appreciating the work itself. And the discord is mostly NFT folks — which isn’t in and of itself a bad thing — but probably not aligned with many of the collectors here.

Not sure what would reverse the fortunes here. Probably only Obey involvement
