I'd say the opposite was the intended case - the transition from Old DarkDemon to the Animator Network was supposed to involve the slow shedding of art/music/literature etc. and focus on creating a network of animators; whereas DarkDemon has always been an animation community, but with a broader creative flair.
It's sad that it's come to this, I'm happy that sites like this and ArtAngle exist.
