Is Boris Vallejo fantasy or pinup? I'd lean more towards pinup. Where does Frazetta fit? Maybe a bit more to fantasy, but there are pinup elements there. One person can make those decisions. A thousand artists won't necessarily make the exact same calls. Even if all the images are sorted by one person, it will only fix things for that point in time. With over 200 new images per day, it won't take long before the same mess exists, not to mention some arguments about whether new placements were correct. Figure a minute per image to move it across a web based system (time to load to view the images and the time to use a dropdown menu to recategorize the image) and there's three hours of work a day just to sort the new stuff, let alone correct years of images. While considering correctly sorting images, how about new categories for real cool stuff, cool stuff, needs work stuff, and stuff that's so bad it's not worth looking at? I'm being a bit facetious, but which is more troublesome, wading through incorrectly sorted images or wading through tons of junky looking thumbnails just to find something that might be worth clicking on? I sort of feel as if there's no realistic way to fix things and I'm not upset enough with how things are to push for an alternative. I'm also not against things being moved, but there are always going to be borderline cases where one person's judgements won't agree with everyone else.
