I think what's frustrating you is that whereas before there were more "higher standared" pictures and some really "lower standard" pictures now there are less higher standard ones and a bunch of medium standard pictures. As a result in general the quality has reached some medium ground. There are still some very nice photos there but you just have to look. One the positive side there seems to be less nudity! So at least the soft porn reputation may go away. However I disagree with Alpha. I believe more people frequent many area of Renderosity than we are aware of. For example I oftem forget that others who don't regurly post to the forum can look around. I received a very nice responce from somone from one of my pictures. And others could have as well. Who knows who looks in here from time to time. So in general I think more people payattention to the pictures than we think. Particurly if there's nudity. =:-) > ( I couldn't resist the joke. ) Bsteph
