dialyn - "you aren't going to necessarily increase your own views" IMO you'll increase the views of everyone who posts sensibly, and to some extent increase comments too. How could this not happen, if the galleries slow down? Just to put it in perspective, in Bryce an image with 400 views after a month will likely have got 150 of them in the first 4hrs, another 150 in the next day and another 100 in the next 30 days. This doesn't mean only 400 people out of 100,000 (or whatever) want to view it, it just means that countless hundreds have missed it as a result of its progress into the archives. And before anyone mentions the "ego" argument, I say if you're truly not bothered how many people to see your art, why post at all? "...increase your own views (which seems to be the goal here)" Yes, that's certainly one of the major goals! Who's denying it? You seem to be implying the only people who are campaigning for change are those with dismal viewings who are peeved that their work is being overlooked and grasp at any straws in their desperation to get noticed. I know that doesn't describe me, nor does it describe dozens of others who are in favour and have posted on this thread. Why not check out Sking's gallery for example - averaging over 1,000 views and 30 comments per image, some with 3000+ views and 60+ comments. Another disgruntled wannabee? Hardly. GODSpeed "im comign up with AWSOME art" Glad to hear it m8! lol!
