Should there be a 'community' for proxies?

And if it isn't allowed, is this site just shilling for WOTC?

I don't really understand why you'd need a community? What is it that people discuss about proxies specifically that couldn't be in a main forum? I'd suggest just posting threads about what you want to talk about and see how they go down.

I use proxies pretty liberally. I even make custom cards for my kids. Since the Pinkertons episode, I haven't bought a new mtg card, but I'm always looking to replace my proxies with used cards and support my LGS in the search for them.

The OP is probably mentioning it because there was a subreddit for it. I was subbed, it was mostly creative proxy card art, custom card backs, and a bit of discussion.

At this point I think we're far too small to have more niche mtg related communities though.
