I agree, the rate of new prompts gets a little overwhelming, so it would be nice to have a freeze every once in a while to catch up. I was also expecting one at 2500, and was surprised it didn't happen.
Someone asked the mods in the mod post about the lack of freeze in this round, and their response was basically "meh."
It does feel like we're starting to get repeats of old prompts, probably not deliberately. I was clicking on random pages in the first post yesterday and came across a pride and prejudice AU request and a Hunchback of Notre Dame one. Both of these have also been prompted more than once in the current post.
That's bound to happen on any kink meme, though. Most prompters don't read every single page of the meme to see if their idea has been prompted, so they post their idea and it's usually worded differently enough that it's not a direct repeat of a previous prompt.
I think a lot of the specific AU prompts come from those tumlblr "imagine your OTP in this trope/AU/movie/etc" posts, so people get excited and prompt it elsewhere in case someone wants to write it.
I think it's more there's only two of them. I don't know what time zones they are in, but they have actual lives as well and can't be checking the meme every minute, and wank keeps happening and that makes this place not fun for the mods as well as anyone else.
I was disappointed by their response, seemed dismissive. Seems like fillers aren't the only ones getting bored. Maybe they should bring in some new blood into the mod team who might be more willing to help. The delicious account alone needs a complete revamp. Some of those fills are wrongfully tagged and there aren't even character tags to search and no round three at all.
