Before I offer my opinion, I must qualify this with I am one of those who religiously browses the galleries in its entirety, not just subsets for specific apps or mediums. Just ask the Powers-That-Be here about the bandwidth I suck up looking at the galleries. Having said that, ... why does it really matter? To me this is similar to those people who get their panties in an uproar over "cheating" in the voting/ranking of the Hot 20. There is some very good art out there, and it is a shame that it is missed. However, the vast majority is boring/repetitive/unimaginative/crap (my opinion), so it all comes down to "meh". Remember, art is subjective. Just because "you" (in the generic sense) think your Poser "art" is great, having used someone else's lighting and textures, and all you did was move your naked Vicky around against a background and postwork it with a little haze in photoshop, it does not make it great toeveryone else. Oh well, just my opinion. I rather like it when other people offer up their opinions, as it exposes me to their perspective. By reviewing a single person's opinions of the work here, you get a better idead of what their tastes are, and a little idea about them. Not some worthless voting crap that can be manipulated and means diddly squat. So, enoguh rambling. I do not intend by any means to squash this idea, but the way I look at it is that is people are interested, they will look through the galleries when they can. Otherwise, it is their loss. - Ray
