I'll certainly have to check that out sometime... but I'm too lazy at the moment.

I saw it, and it's fairly bizarre, though I suppose I'm not really surprised. Because I gave them my spam e-mail address way back with "Takuhai" I technically have an account there, so I made sure there wasn't any important information available to the general public. But I doubt I'll get very involved in something like that.

Heck it's free advertising and it's a guranteed way to reach alot of people in a sought after demographic.

Yes, I haven't found it particular browsable. Or particular impressive, given what the most popular items have been. I suppose that is a good thing, because it won't be a temptation to waste any of my internet time on it. I added a blog post to my account pretty much because I could, but I doubt it will ever be noticed and that will likely be the extent of my involvement.

I must have joined just as it was created...because when I joined there were no art entries... or anything...(well maybe a page worth)

now it like exploded!!! XD

I don't like the pop feature very much...I mean all the art that is popped gets all the attention...X.x even if you submit something new it gets pushed back.

It does sort newest first after number of pops, but I similarly wonder how well that will go. Is it possible that some pieces of artwork will forever dominate the top spots on the list? However, there could easily be elements that they have yet to reveal, like entries eventually being archived or a maximum number of pops.

Of course, I'm speaking from what I saw yesterday, so who knows how much has changed by now.
