I don't believe that Rendo is primarily a store, although I might be wrong. I see it as first a community, second a store that supports that community. As for masters' gallery, I don't see anything wrong in it, and I'd certainly try to get into it if it did exist, but I'm certainly not going to campaign for one (not after all this, anyway). But ShadowWind, I can't agree with your comment "where one artist is deemed better than the others always ends up in major arguments". Perhaps it's because I'm used to the Bryce forum and its monthly challenges, and the occasional cover issue competition, but I find the complete opposite. When somebody wins a comp or gets a magazine cover or a feature, multiple threads spring up congratulating that person. Are you really saying there are that many people who are bitter when they don't win, or when others are placed above them? Hell, I submitted 7 images to raph.com and all were rejected - the best I got was 30% acceptance. Rochr submitted a piece and got in straight away so I posted a thread of congratulation to which loads of people joined in. And I reckon that's the way most people here are, so I really don't share the view that something like a masters' gallery would cause significant problems amongst the real artists. What I WOULD campaign for, however, is something that the people who complain about "egotists" have never mentioned, strangely enough - and that is the optional removal of viewing figures on images. If you want to talk about ego-stroking then this is the ultimate. Personally, if the option existed to remove view information then I'd be the first to use it. The only reason viewing figures are displayed is for people to say "Whoa! Look how great I'm doing! Look at me everyone!" So for those who complain about egos (not targetting just you, ShadowWind) how about tackling the real egotism and getting a viewing figure removal option installed?
