New Featured Gallery

We now have the Featured Gallery up and running and fully functional. We think this will be a good way to let all those new visitors to the site see the best images that Artalyst has to offer. Plus, its a great way for other artist on the site to set goals for themselves.

Already, those who have a Membership are awarded 10 extra userpoints and a special badge for getting their image in the Featured Gallery. The more images you get in the Featured Gallery, and depending on the image category, the more site perks you'll get, like changing the way your comments look on the site. Others will see your awesomeness everytime you make a comment on the site.

The way images are selected for the Featured Gallery is by secret judges. Judges are carefully selected, and rotated on a regular basis. The judges nominate images from the general gallery to be upgraded to the Featured Gallery. Judges can only nominate an image once. Once a preset limit of nominations is reached on an image, it is included in the Featured Gallery. So if your image isn't there yet, it may be sooner or later. Judges come and go.
