Well, in "the old days" it used to be that there was just a Poser gallery, and a Bryce gallery, and so on. But as membership got larger and the number of postings got to be so many per day, they added the categories so that folks could choose to browse ONLY the categories they were interested in. But there are really too many gray areas in this approach ... first, if you use Poser to develop and pose figures, and then add it to a scene created in in Bryce or Vue, and then do postwork with Photoshop and add effects from Kai's Power Tools, which gallery do you put it in? I don't think the galleries should be broken down by application at all. 2D, 3D, and photography. Why? Because there are a lot of us that could stand to learn things by looking at images done in OTHER applications that we would normally not even think about looking into. Or ... if you do a picture of an alien riding his spaceship with a load of Christmas presents, do you put it in Science Fiction or Holiday? Since you can't double-post, how do you know that you are putting it in the gallery that those interested would find it in? The problem with doing ratings is that EVERYONE will be posting in the R and NC-17 area (LOL), and you are also setting up the site for being even worse in the "titillation" department (word chosen purposely) than it already is. I say the best solution is to drop the application galleries and simplify the categories.
