This isn't really about banding together - doing that just forms cliques (hope thats how you spell it) and I think we can live without those ;) From what I've seen on this site and others, cliques or "in crowds" are the root of all evil. And seriously, its not about having a jab at anyone. I think the idea of having a "this stuff is great but never made the hot20" thread every so often is a good thing. Hopefuly it'll do a couple of things.... - give a little exposure to some of the newer or less well known people around here, assuming of course that anyone actually looks at these lists and visits the pics and drop a few comments about the place. Nothing like a couple of positive comments to really help someone feel good and encouraged about what they're trying to do. (The increased exposure thing was one of the positives I really found came about from the change in the HOT20 times from 15 days to 7 days - a lot more different people get in there now than used to. Bravo PTB on that one.) - it may draw a few more people into participating in the forums a little more, and hopefully it would serve as a creative boost to see what other people are doing. Swap ideas, knowledge..... If a picture gets missed in this lot, but you think it really deserved a look, let me know and I'll maybe add it onto the next list in 5 days time or whatever. Whether this idea keeps going or not will depend on what response I see or read. Thanks for your time. And thanks JC_01 for the html.
