If a new thread was created and people promised to only post points to images in it and engage in no discussion or OT then people bookmarked that one thread and I don't see the harm. Maybe one such thread could be created on the 1st of each month. The intention is good and seeing the best renders might meet the criteria for this forum... people with dial up like me find going to the gallery just to even see the thumbnail impractical and end up not seeing what is the state of the art. Individual references by serious people certainly would have more credence for me than serching for "top" "most viewed" or best rated, etc. Esp. if people gave a sucsict explination of their choice.
