jumpstartme ok fine I grant you that may be the case, so my question is then, why dont some of these "artists", place links to their galleries they have elsewhere out there in cyberville somwhere? They could do so quite easily on their homepages here! Its free after all.

The only reason I can see for an "artist" too have no gallery here, and no gallery links on their homepage either, who want too run around here, and diss others works, is because they are too chiken shited too put some of their own work up to face the same exact kind of scrutiny those of us who do have galleries face. I mean if someone such as myself, who's no michaelangelo by any stretch of the imagination can put up some of their stuff up for that kind of scrutiny anyone can in my opinion.

Secondly, there have been in the past lots, and lots and lots of people who sign up, an have no gallery, simply because they are here for one reason only. To steal images that others create. Aside from the time its happened to me, here. How many times have we all seen artists we know, have images wind up on some msn groups somewhere being sold, or God knows what? Again making it a rule that you must post at least one thing of your own, whatever it be would cut down on alot of the peeps signing up just to steal images.

Least thats what I think, and the way I see it, for what its worth. LOL
