# What the Fuck my tree animation was the most popular all week well beyond when the Image Challenge closed
What is it just pick your friend's images is it Happy Toast/Fraser?

I really don't know why I fucking bother.

# Not sure if you can chalk this up to HT... Don't think he writes the newsletter.
But it's a bit harsh that yours isn't in there. Was a time when the image compo was The Top Three As Voted rather than some discretionary thing like the QOTW.

# It's always been the top three I've never known it to be different.

# Think lately there's been an element of subjectivity to them.
Although from my perspective it's pretty academic cos I rarely trouble the popular page these days :'o(

# Oh well fuck this for a game of soldiers.
What's the point of being a b3tan if it's all for nothing? Don't bother answering that, it's time I left this site.

# I didn't know the point of challenges was to be in the top three
Nor did I know the point of posting was to be on the popular page, let alone the front page. For me that's probably a good thing since they're all well out of my fliddy reach. But then I never check the front page or the popular page and rarely pay close attention to the image challenge part of the newsletter.

I think it's all too possible to take this place too seriously.

# I have observed this also.
Happened with one of mine, but it was a bit quick and shit, so I wasn't overly perturbed. It's not a democracy, but still.

# Yeah, you came first with no mention
2nd, 10th and 23rd got a mention

# Nor is it a meritocracy
Have seen plenty of good stuff on here that barely gets any attention (I don't mean mine - I'm fully aware that most stuff I post is shit), but when a well-known name posts something it immediately garners comments and votes even if it's low in hummus. I think everything in life is like that though. It's whom you know...

# The whole point in the challenges is that it IS a democracy
So they shouldn't be screened by the mods at all.

# There was a period when " I found this I think it should win the compo "
seemed to be in the top three every week. Some of them were funny, but some were just faceswaps. I can see whoever placed 4th getting pissed off with that.

# I've noticed this happening before
One week I was third and didn't get a mention. Another week I was 23rd and did get a mention.
It balances out in the end.

# One week I was third.
And then my entry was mod-edited out of the compo on the Thursday for some reason, and I flounced like some sort of Clay.

And then I realised that it DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER and came back :)
