If the last two challenges are any measure, there should be some way to decide on two or three pictures. I'd go with honorable mentions. But it wouldn't mean the end of the world for me if everybody else decides on the first three places. :-) Second, the problem with large threads in voting can be easily solved by having one thread (page) with pics and another with votes. That way you can save the page with pics on your disk and see them whenever you want. I admit to not checking the thread after casting my vote, because it was simply too big to download regularly. Third, there will be a problem with leaving entries in backroom. For instance, I'd like people to see my entry, and I'm going to put it in my gallery. It will duplicate the occupation of space on Renderosity's disks, for one. And then, if somebody wants to link to the pic, or if I want to enter it somewhere else and link to it, people will get backroom starting page, because of the frames. Frames are evil. Sorry for carping on this again, but I believe that everybody should make navigation as easy as possible.
