Personally, I’d love to have a community for proxies in the sense of the playtest card/digital alters/printed (DIY or via a printing service) style of proxies. I think that’s pretty much totally inoffensive (in the sense that, people who don’t like proxies don’t have to subscribe to such a community, and it being here wouldn’t alter their experience.) I love the custom treatments/digital alters/etc. that come out of the various proxy communities, and would definitely enjoy seeing it here. It’s such a great form of creative expression and really enhances my interaction with Magic as a hobby.
As for whether or not to have a community for ‘bootleg’ style proxies, I would understand if the admins didn’t want to host that sort of thing, for whichever reason, and personally I have no real interest in being active in such a community. But not because I think there’s anything wrong with it, since most people just use them to be able to play with the cards that have had their value artificially inflated - so it also wouldn’t bother me if such a community was here.
I know much of the printer/playtest proxy community is spread across Discord and Reddit, so I’m not sure if it would have a new ‘home’ here, or if it would be a smaller subsection of the wider community - which I guess would be the other factor in deciding whether there ought to be a community like that here.
