"I count as irrelevant the notion that reducing the number of postings will increase the views for those of you who need them as some kind of validation." - Dialyn #1 reason I create my images - for my pleasure. #2 reason I create my images - to share those images with others. I don't need views as a form of validation. I have enough self confidence to be happy with what I do. HOWEVER - as stated very well in the math above, if we can slow that huge monster of a gallery down be even 25% then that's 25% longer that a person's image would be exposed to MOST viewers, as it's the first couple pages of the ALL gallery that get the most hits. Wouldn't everyone agree that more exposure as an artist can only be a good thing, whether they are professional or not? Just don't ASSUME I post for comments or views!
