This is the very last reply, I swear. No one will make you change your mind (you won't listen anything but the music you are playing). You think all your job opportunities are on the H20? Come on, you should have started on that point. But as freelance myself (during the last 5 years)I know there is no pay hidden behind any H20, real clients are waiting for you to llok for them, and rarely will yhem look for you. This is my last word about this matter.

To this point I feel wasting my breath. I think that something that is totally trivial like the H20 which only could be subject of amusement is getting too important for what it actually means. I won't write anything more about it because I don't find it is an issue of life or death and I don't want to light this fire anymore; my opinion was written above; Thus I think no individual has the right to decide who deserves to be on H20, and democacy works in the basis of majority of voices in a vote in obedience to the law. About changing the system, do whatever is in your hand if you think it isn't fair enough. But be aware that anything have always retractors and there is no way to get the panacea. Have a nice weekend. Bye.

Well, I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere or else this has reached down to the bottom of your soul. First of all, I rarely vote, and whenever I do it, I don't vote on the H20, because I understand that the images exposed there have had enough of voting. Even where at the top of the page says something like "x votes within the required period" which makes me understand that there is a time period in which the votes affect a work to be on the H20, and after that nothing will happen than send the image itself to the most voted images page. But anyway, I don't see what disturbs you (or anyone else) as much as to stay saying what should and what not shouln't be on the tops (H20, most visited, most voted, etc...). It is just a reference, nothing else. When I first visited renderosity.com the most viewed or voted (I don't actually remember the thing) images where one called "Ugolino", some made by Luciferino and the rest which did not impress me as much as these both where great too indeed. The thing is that the fact only encouraged me to visit the galleries of the mentioned artists, I admire them since then, and I follow their work from time to time. That's all. I'm aware there are many excellent artists I admire, but their best quality is not the art their produce, is the evolution you may find from the first posts to the last ones. And I think the H20 is only the example of a trend of what the public wants to see that have actually nothing to do about what the artist mean to express. About cheating... cheat is presumably bad and inappropriate. But it seems that cheaters cannot be persuaded... because there always appear new kind of cheats and people ready to practise them. About the limitations, I don't wholly agree, if an artist can make various works (and I don't care of their quality, because the quality of art is actually subjective (as the voting) and the art is not an status by itself) that make people vote for them. Go ahead. Changes no chages: everything must change to keep things the same. There will always be frustrated people because there always have been. Now is the H20, tomorrow whatever... But as I said before I don't think that the subject of this frustration (anger, envy...) is the H20, but just a way show it up.

Well, after reading all this concerning to the H20 issue... I don't think there would have to be any problem on the H20. I like watching the top 20; because I don't have time enough to spend going through galleries to check one by one all the works. I find amusing the option which enable us to check the most voted works (and I do understand that hot 20 means the most voted 20 works, and not the best 20, even where there are high quality works there). And well, probably the works appearing in that showcase are voted by friends, it is a good thing to have supporters, I personally don't usually vote or comment if I don't feel like that, and I've found that many people find themselves forced to do it to get certain recognition... and of course there is envy somewhere there about the recognition and all that stuff... But we cannot make a storm out of a waterdrop. So, I think there is a lack of common sense for those who make a world out of it. Just have a look to the H20 as it is; the most voted images in the gallery. Have a nice weekend!
