Ill chime in, coz Im moody and feel like griping LOL

Ok so the art charts are based on how many people favorite you - but that doesnt necessarily mean their work is the best. I mean, really, it can be fudged. All a person has to do is add you to their favorites. And I heard some dirty rumor about adding/removing/adding again and it counting. I dunno how true that is, but you could totally fool the system, I am quite sure... as sure as I am that there are already people out there trying to. And like Shardz said, the more u post the more chance you get to get on it. Like prog (and myself) for example... since we develop content, we rarely post, coz we dont have time to sit and play very often. And there are hundreds of other merchants like that as well. So a person who throws an image together in an hour and posts everyday would have better chance to be faved more often, thereby getting on the silly elitist list. And like I said, it doesnt make an image better. There are artists on here that would SMOKE the people on that list right now - that would smoke MY own art. But I dont see them listed.

Dont get me wrong... coz I really dont give a flying walenda whether Im on it or not - and Id say most people dont. Most on here do the art for fun or relaxation, not to fluff their egos for some delusion of grandeur they might have about being all big and famous. I think the elitist crap is just that... and it needs to go. But then, I hated the hot 20 too. It makes this place too competetive... and well, lets take a look at all the blood that has spilled due to that very concept.

With all due respect, its things like this that take the fun right out of this site and make it seem hollow, like some souless machine. And those that follow suit, adopt the same attitude - fighting starts to happen, as much as gloating in comments, etc... which personally makes me sick and not even want to come on here. Actually, I DONT come on here very much anymore. And Id dare say that many have left because of that very thing as well. When I first started frequenting this site, it was way more fun than it is now. It had heart, something it hasnt had in a very long time.

Ahhh but, I can sit here and go on about it til forever has passed... it wont change anything. So rather than spin my wheels, I think Ill go do something more productive.
