Big debate over this issue of the Hot 20! A real pain, if you ask me.

When I first started posting here, I didn't even pay any attention to the Hot20 until someone sent an IM congratulating me for being voted there. Even now, I don't go there very often to check up on who is this weeks favorite artists.

As for the "V" along with ones comments: I don't like that game. It is as if the one commenting is saying, "I voted for your image, so I expect you to vote for mine." Everyone can deny this if they wish, but what other underlying reason would there be for telling the artist you voted for their work?

Voting is supposed to be a private thing. And it should be for the artistic quality of what is posted. I do not vote very often as there are not very many 'mind boggling fractals' posted. Voting for the sake of voting is senseless.

There are several fractal artists who really make what I would consider museum quality fractals. However they rarely show up here. But once upon a time, they were here frequently.

One artist, not a fractal artist, only posts at InnerTraveler. I go there to see this persons art. And I post there also. To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a Hot20 on that site. That pleases me.

Okay. I'll shut up now.
