Sorry Star, I disagree on "screw the hit count". Reguardless of whether they hate the pic or like it. They looked at it. 5000 hits and 2 comments doesn't bother me. I don't demand that every single person who looks at my stuff should comment. So I seperate the two.
I hugely agree. The hit counter is a good indication of what kind of images grab peoples' collective eye. If I do an image that doesn't get too many hits, I'd be less inclined to do another in the same style and/or subject matter. It's also a good way of getting feedback without having to rely on comments. I have a good idea of what people do and don't like here, similarly on DA and Rendo. Something that I post there might get a couple hundred vews a few rating and a half dozen comments here, while it might not even get a second look on Rendo or DA.
I don't do pics for myself, I do them for others' enjoyment. So like the first rule in entertainment, I try to give the people what they want. If we lose the hit counter, I'll have no idea if an image is liked or not.
