I never said to put the new stuff at the back, Heromorph has some awesome images that newcomers to the site will never see (unless they go through every single image). I used to do a 'classic top 10' of the week that was well received, but there wasn?t enough work for me as an admin and nobody kept it up.
None of the new stuff compares to those classic images and seeing them up front might encourage new members. Good artists would want to be seen here and viewers would know there is stuff worth sticking around for.
?If you want good artists to stay, comment on their work!? Who are you talking to? The behaviour of web-surfing now is not the same as it was. Viewers have no loyalty to any particular site. If you want an image, Google it. Get your image then back to Google. An artist leaves a site, so what? Google checks everywhere. A viewer might go straight to the image and not even know they came to Heromorph.
The flip side to that comment is maybe everyone is already following your advice.
I don?t think comments make much of a difference. ?Nice? doesn?t mean anything to me. I don?t like to get comments (I like hits, 1000 in a day means more to me than any comments) and I don?t give comments (for my own reasons).
?...you have to develop the community? It?s all well and good to say that, but how? Commenting for the sake of it has been tried here before and obviously hasn?t worked. Other websites are hundreds of times bigger than Heromorph, if people want to get in touch with each other they will do it elsewhere. To develop a community under these conditions Heromorph has to offer something different.
