Mlevans has the right idea. I completely agree with the first half of that post. Really, with the new sub-categories do we need to make this an issue at all? It doesn't make sense unless it is for space on the servers.
I'm also with MarvinR in that if the issue is people not spending enough time as the "new" render on the block then their complaints should just be ignored. If you want to look at your own artwork that badly (and I dont know why youd have to, since you made it and KNOW what it looks like) go through your own gallery page. Its faster and you can check for feedback that way if you dont already have the renderbot notify you through e-mail.
One of the things people have to look at is the shear number and size of this particular web community. Renderosity is NOT the only 3-D site out there, but it is one of the largest. Simply because of its very size, even if we were to limit the number of renders posted a day or a week or whatever, there will STILL BE A PROBLEM!
Have you been through the member list? It's huge! Even if we all posted only once a day you're still talking about 165,399 posts! Now, we know we all dont post that much and we know that its likely to never happen that way.
I was quite happy when the new sub-categories went up because it meant I could look at the art I wanted to and do so quickly. One would think that it would have ended whatever discussion there was on this subject. My only complaint is that theres no Poser/Dragons gallery!
It doesnt seem to me that content or quality is under attack, although it DOES seem like people are trying to make it seem that way. Its a matter of quantity. And really folks, the quantity is just fine. I admit, Ive been annoyed some days that I could only upload three pictures, but damnit I made 5 and they were really cool! But guess what? I waited and posted the next day! Really, its not that hard to do. And then I might go six months without making a thing, and post just one lone pic up in the gallery. Either way its cool. Were all different artists, and we all have different philosophys of art and its management. Thats what makes belonging to this site so damned fun. You get to see how the other person thinks. You can be apricative of someone elses work, and have someone else see something in your style they might not have otherwise concidered.
Lets stop arguing, and get back to the art.
