Hey flak, your last comment hit one of the nails on the perverbial head.  Those same artists who have created a masterpiece that almost no one has viewed would be left out.  Maybe they can't make a decent thumb so nobody looks at it.  Could happen, lol.

How about a ratio of views to favorites?   On the charts, there was a Bryce image with 117 views and 9 favorites at rank 31.  At rank 12 was a Poser image with 10 favorites and 553 views.  Maybe it's just me but that seems flipped; a ratio would have adjusted that.
