I have to say the biggest thing as a community I ever see as far as getting people to budge/ work together has been hard competition. As pixelmasher said On the opposite side of the coin we see alot of artist who act like they dont know there bad ass, post a few beauty renders, and then every kid from hobbiest to AI post…
Another point worth making: IN a thread filled with "OMG SO AMAZING" you could try and lead by example with your own reply. It's what I do -- I typically ALWAYS ask a question or two in the same post I've told someone I enjoyed their work. Always.
View count is available by hovering your mouse over the last posters name to the right of the thread title. The WAYWO thread for example has 1,062,568 views... I like the image wall idea with random large size thumbnails. I just wish I had more coding knowledge to make it happen...

A like system will only lead to people who might have commented something useful clicking the like button because it is more convenient. Rating systems only do harm unless you put an excellence icon in front of the thread when something got voted on like 200 times ,but then again that stuff will get bannered anyway. I do…
Pretty much everyone at ca.org, ESPECIALLY the more successful artists, regularly engage in discussion and detailed feedback/explanation of their work. And sketchbook threads are less art dumps and more 60-200 pages of concentrated art wisdom, discussion, and focused critique. Jump in to any of the gigantic threads based…
I agree with what BluPanda said. Often I am short on time, like, i just dont have the time to show how i did my textures, etc. People quite often ask me things, and most of the time I just dont have the time to put together a video, etc. I even have tons of recorded stuff that I never had time to compress and post, for…
