Please don't take this as a lack of gratitude for the efforts being made, but I'm curious why the "featured fractal image" on the fractal community page is a Poser figure, posted April 3, 2001 to the Poser Gallery. The artist in question has never posted anything to the Fractal Gallery (a look at his personal gallery reveals gallery postings are exclusively to the 2D and Poser galleries). For that matter, I'm also curious about why there are Hot Product ads and links for Poser props on the fractal community page since ad banners already adorn the top of each and every single page here and the Marketplace links are readily visible to anyone who's interested. I know this site is Poser-heavy, but it seems strange to deliberately create non-Poser sub-communities and then select Poser images and products to represent them. There are dozens of fractal artists posting here in a wide variety of styles and using a broad range of software, there are hundreds of fractal images archived here from which to choose a "featured fractal image", so I'm a little baffled by the choices made in this case.
