Links to pics in the backroom can't be allowed for the reasons you gave. If you need/want to link your pics on Renderosity, it will have to be through your gallery, your artist page, or on your own webpage. I'm definately not a fan of frames either, especially now, since I am re-working the backroom on my own, here at home, lol. But frames will be needed just because of the large volumes of stuff the backroom WILL have. The large threads in voting aren't made "large" by text, it's made large by the fact that there are 1.42Mb worth of pics in it. Seperate posts can't solve the problem of someone having to load a giant single post to see all the entries, for the first time. That's what's going to be solved; frustrating load times for slower modems.
