If you look at the "most viewed" list of the Poser gallery, it's pretty much the same kind of stuff that gets into the Hot 20...I think having the most viewed in two weeks would amount to the same thing as what gets voted into the Hot 20 and for the same reason...people would get their friends to look in and it is hard for someone without a club (of people) to break through. And the majority of people who bother to view and vote seem interested in amazingly identical figures. I think what Stormrage and Lyrra are doing is more interesting...they post the top ten of graphics they find of interest. I did the same thing this morning, which was ignored but at least I tried to highlight graphics I thought were different from the images we see on the Hot 20. I wish more people would do that so we could discover graphics that get buried in the flood of postings. My main complaint about the Hot 20 is that the best way to get in there seems to be to copy one that has already been there, so you end up with multiples of very similar looking images even when they are by different artists. There are exceptions, but they certainly are few and far between. There's no point actually in putting much emphasis on either views or hits. If you are doing graphics to get the attention of other people, then you know what you have to do to get the hits. If you are doing graphics for personal satisfaction, and you would like to share it, then post it on the forums. Of course you take the chance someone will flame you for that for no good reason than they have an agenda point they want to make this week, but at least you have some chance of getting viewed. If that's important to you. And it's not very important in the big scheme of things.
