The Hot20 has been a subject of discussion for a very long time. Many people see it as predominantly a popularity contest. I think if you watch closely, you'll see that there are many, many Hot20 images that don't make the FWW. I think the Fractal Weekly Window is intended to highlight images that are excellent examples of fractals, or are particularly beautiful or particularly unique. They are chosen by the moderator of our gallery and thus the issue of popularity is eliminated.

The Hot20 changes every day, and there is no Hot20 archive. The FWW is an archive of excellent images that anyone can view anytime to see what fractals are and what possiblities exist.
