I have just a couple of thoughts on Rik's well-thought-out suggestions and other postings here:

I think that many of the images voted into the H20 are put there by people who are coming to the Gallery by way of the 'One of your favorite Artists has posted an image' email that they are receiving. This is particularly true when you see an unfamiliar name that normally posts in a very large Gallery (i.e., Poser, Bryce) who is trying their hand at Fractals. They will get hundreds of views and lots of comments and many votes...mostly from more unfamiliar names from the same Gallery. This is not a complaint, simply a fact. Perhaps this could be forestalled by not allowing voting when you click in from email, just like when you click in from the H20 page. Since not very many people really participate in the Fractal Forum, it would be difficult for the moderators to educate the general population, and most likely would be futile anyway.

The Fractal Window is very nicely set up. What mechanism is used to choose the images that will be there? How long will they stay up? Will they be like the Fractal image on the Community page, changed when someone complains at how long the previous one is there? (the image currently there is dated last November!)

I still tend to agree with Marion...forget about it! Just make images and enjoy!
