About chasing after ppl who've left a species for their designs: I see people in mantibabs/crederia doing it very often.
There's a channel in that server where you post transfer confirmations, and sometimes the known hoarders will come in out of NOWHERE with a 'this person from offsite is transferring their bab to me!'. And I'll look up the design and the person, it'll be an older design from somebody who left DA years ago, no toyhouse, and isn't in the closed species community at all anymore. And they keep digging around for every last design that their inner circle doesn't own and somehow hustling it out of the original owner's hands.
I just caught this before hitting the ask button, as I was typing this out i checked back in the server. Someone's in general asking how to contact someone who's been pretty much inactive everywhere, because they plan on offering on the crederia designs in their th trade folder.
Having some decorum is not in the stars for crederia hoarders.
