JettBoy: "Are there huge roving bands of horny 14-year-old boys prowling the galleries here in search of something to stimulate their prurient interests? That's all I can figure..." If this is the case, then what kind of reply are you expecting? I'm not sure what the source of your repeated irritation with the membership here is, but it's obviouis they don't act the way you want them to. But, that's another item of discussion. To respond to what I think your message was about: I looked over your gallery. I saw some stuff there that didn't interest me and some stuff that did. I took a quick "tally" of your views/comments/ratings. I think I liked the CD (leopard) one the best (would like to see the final product, too). I liked Vinnie (though the background looked out of place to me), Nick, Capt. America, too. I noted that the ones I liked the most were also ones that others seemed to like the most. Not by view count, but by the number of people taking the time make a comment. So, adding to what dialyn said, and what I have said before while whupping on this soon-to-be-gluetube: if views are important to you, then cater to it. If you don't feel like whoring yourself, then continue what interests YOU. And before you get upset at the crowd that scans the gallery for nudes, feel good that the stuff you are proud of got the most comments! There can be no scientific formula to use, so I'll call it the "Evans Axiom". "One comment is worth 50 views. To calculate total appreciation for a piece of work, multiply positive comments by 50 and add that to the total views (to yeild the TAR--Total Appreciation Rating)" So, a piece of art (we'll say your Capt. America) with 11 comments and 139 viewings yields a TAR of 689. Your EEEEEEk piece has a TAR of 410 (at this writing). BTW, my stuff is in the same situation. Though, maybe not as good as yours. Nevertheless, you'll be hardpressed finding a thread by me getting upset because people should be paying more attention to my "serious" stuff instead of the full-length nude I did one night. In closing, take a look at the calendars for sale in, say, MediaPlay (around November). Then go back and look in mid-January. Then remember all the swimsuits/singers/models/fantasy calendars that are no longer there. Of course, I'm sure you'll be able to find some quality B&W photojournal-type calendars still. And probably some Ansel Adams stuff will still be available. You see, R'City drew its membership from that same group of consumers who "sucked" down all the "skin" calendars.
