I'm active in quite a few forums myself, and hit a lot of sites routinely, CGTalk being one of them. There are 202,000 members at CGTalk, so its pretty much the same size as here. They have galleries and also post a lot of images and wips to the forums. Its real fast ... real fast. Rendo is a dog, quite plain and simple, and its been this way for quite awhile. and , yes, it takes a lot of work to keep a site going ... so maybe Bondware or whomever runs this site should start to work on it.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
