on Sunday night 3-6-2005 I had the number one spot in the mixed medium with 17 votes. this afternoon 3-7-2005 the same image has 3 votes and is at the bottom. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this with their hot 20 images. I know at 4:00 am this morning Renderosity was off line completely. I was thinking maybe there was a glitch in the system . the top image now has only 10 votes. very weird

The votes expire over time. A week, I think.

The image doesn't have to leave. The votes expire over time. People vote on different hours/days; thus some would disappear sooner than others. There was a thread on the Community Forum about the change in the way the Hot 20 works in order to encourage more variety of participation.

I understand that the image and votes expire after one week. never read that it is independent of each other
