"i don't think there's a need to bash the people in the top 20"

There's a slight history that many may not understand. A lot of what's in the H20 right now are there legitimately. Especially Ladydawg (I liked that one) and Crasher. But a while back a group was voting in the very mediocre stuff of one person. It did not belong. It was argued by the person that her friends should vote for her and did. We argued back that not every image was deserving. It started to happen again and it degrades the H20.
Anytime this discussion comes up it does push people to vote and you see the deserving images in there for a bit, then it degrades back into the group voting mediocre images in again.

The Poser H20 should be a showcase of the stuff that pushes Poser to it's limits. The images that obviously took more than a day to complete. It's not a popularity contest and people shouldn't have their friends vote every single image in. It's pathetic.

I used to visit the Poser Hot 20 to see what amazing things people were doing with the program and it's postwork. Now I only go there when I need a laugh.
