I still think a lot of this has to do more with ego than with art, and this conversation will keep returning no matter what changes are made to the galleries. well, from this standpoint....twould seem to me those who are insistent that they MUST post 3 a day are looking for alot more "ego stroking" than those of us who post 1 a week. I think most are uploading what is, for them, that day, the best they could do. To suggest anything else is snobbery. i was a member here for 8 months before i had the courage to post ANYTHING to the gallery. why? because i felt my skills were not "up to snuff" by some of the standards others were setting back then. but, most newbies don't do that, these days. often, i wonder if the rush to the gallery is just a forethought to the rush to the marketplace. and, just because i disagree with someone's opinion on a certain, given topic does not make me a whiner. for all of you who bandy that term about...think of it....those on the other side of the argument may be viewing you as "whiners", too. the community is not going to fall into catastrophy over this issue...so i see no need to threaten to run away and leave the playground, takin' your toys and all...well, makes me wonder who it really is whose ego needs stroking. yes, i like page views, and comments. anyone who says they don't would just be plain lying. the clue fairy told me that WE ALL DO. otherwise, we'd just print out all our renders and hang 'em in the bathroom, or something. i mean, why post if you don't want your work to be seen? am i the only one who likes to view "all" galleries when i surf, here? how many fractals do i have to thumb through before seeing a render in an app i can relate to? another option would be to be able to select multiple app galleries, and view at the same time. as it is, now, it is amazingly hard to wade through all the submissions in a given day. and, since my interests do not only lie with poser, i find myself having to view separately, or not at all.
