Okay...but.... Cliques hurt people's feelings, too. Cliques can and, very often DO deem others invisible. Artists often have egos. Often...can that....artists DO have egos. There is nothing that can be done, here, about a group of friends who are online alot, discussing their latest wips, and, when they will be loaded to the gallery. there is nothing that can be done, here, from stopping this same/or maybe, even two or 3 groups of online friends from voting one another into the hot twenty. it is like schmoozing in the real world, i think. however, i can see someone new, here...and, perhaps, having a life in that other world, one who cannot "hang out", here 24-7, making the necessary alliances to assure a nicely padded gallery future....Well, it is easy to see how one could pick up on how things work here, and, to feel some resentment. Solution: This is renderosity. It is a privately owned site. It is no more fair than the rest of life out there. Enjoy what YOU do. If you can browse your own gallery a year or more after your first post and STILL LIKE YOUR RENDERS....you just pleased your hardest critic. And, for everyone else....please take some time and look at ALL the pics in the gallery of your choosing. Try and make the time to comment on what you do enjoy. There are some jewels...and they are hard to find, 'cause, they aren't all in temples. Pop...Pop...Poppi!!!
