there's only two solutions: either the people who dislike the clique start a)producing more work and then b)start commenting on those works of your peers more, which will redifine you as a clique of your own, or ignore it. that's it really. i can't see the clique myself, because not only am i rarely in the gallery, but i'm self absorbed in my own huge project right now. if there really is a clique here, that's how to settle it. a large project with defined roles will gain recognition for participants while not promoting the clique. either way i could care less. i just want to see less nekkid v3 and more stories behind the pictures. my biggest gripe is that almost every pic in the hot 20 is rendered at either eye level or nipple level ;)
