Well, I for one have never made the Hot 20, and I thought for sure my Le Glorieux pic was going to be the one that did it for me, since I did put alot of work into it and it took awhile to do, but, it was not meant to be and I could really care less come to think of it. I've actually just stopped looking at the 20 because some of what is called "art" just astounds me that it got the views and votes. My daughters could probably do better with no training. I peruse the galleries and find my favorite artists and then visit their galleries on a regular basis and hopefully learn a few things on the way. I'd have to agree that the Hot 20 should be taken down, because it's not a proper reflection of some of the best Brycer's out there to name a few bs58, CHAY, ICM, striving, ocddoug, FLAK, Rochr...and on and on....these guys should have their own Hot 20, or at least be in the Hot 20 all the time. I guess I'd have to agree that one man's trash is another man's treasure, but how does trash hit the Hot 20 and so many treasures rarely even get a comment. Strange. And, to top it all off, 3dcommune has gotten just about as bad with it's rankings. I see total crap over there getting ranked with 10's and I'll so something I know is better and get a 6.75 ranking. I think some people just do it to make that person feel better about what they may secretly feel is crap. Well, that's just my opinion.
