You State A Good Point
I really think you've made a good point here. I just browsed the the portal and saw 3 submissions that had reviews by members who have no entries on NG saying things like 'wow ur animation style really sux' and 'i could have made a better flash'. My entries have reviews like that on them. The problem is is that the majority of NG Members don't have flash, have never used flash, and never intend to use flash. They think that every animation is supposed to be as good as the things on the top 50 list, and they think it is crap if it isn't. And other people vote and review unfairly because of 'prejudice'. Some people will vote zero on any Clock Crew flash, stick flash, etc no matter how good it is, or how much time the animator puts into it.
But the worst, in my opinion, is when another animator makes a jagoff comment because they have an animation ranked better than the one they're reviewing. They of all people should know how hard it is to make a flash movie. I know I'm a bit hypocritical (i only have 2 review written, but i'm starting to write more) but i've read a lot of reviews. Thank you for stating this point
And now, I end my rant
