Like has been said, Renderosity is pretty unique in the fact that thumbnails are left up to the individual, also the rules regarding thumbnails are pretty broad, you can do anything within 200x200 and up to 15k, that in itself makes the scope for what can be done pretty wide. An image with no thumb wont stop me looking at it, but unless it had an interesting title I mostly (probably wrongly pass then by. I an not concerned at all about the use of different thumbs to attract attention, this method is used everyday on many news sites to get you to click on the story, here like in everyday life it is about ratings (as in TV) views (as in getting as many people as possible to look at your picture) that is just human nature. That said I would welcome auto thumbs for the ease on it, I just hope they will be big enough to do the images justice. My biggest niggle, always has been and probably always will be..another story entirely.

The Truth is Out There
