Totally agree.. and I think we should try to get a load of the old members active again

Let me think of ways ...

I definitely agree with both of you! And more palettes would be great!

I love your optimism, Qsilv!

This is too precious and rare of an internet destination to see it dwindle away. Trolls dominate so many of the larger sites. This has remained a bastion of support and genuine kindness.

Well I'm inclined to live on hope.... no reason bugoy's students won't gradually swell the ranks again... or others may. Partly it's luck, partly judicious nudging.

(Thanks, btw, bugoy! Even as kids, yours tend to be an interestingly thoughtful lot.)
(AND... heartfelt thanks to the amazing steadfast Rachel!)

ThinkDraw has been around quite a long time by Internet standards. It archives a fascinating collection of people's work ....words as well as pictures.

Newcomers can learn a lot, trolling back back through ANY forum... Google regularly dishes up links to material dating back 10... 15... 20 years!
(...yesss.... I regularly find myself happily lost in the labyrinths........)

Point..? Oh.... (nod... (yes I had one...!)) ...
Once a data pattern has become established, it's frustrating/disheartening to find it shifting like desert sands.

So, imnsho, comparison bases here should continue as is, adding only more palettes if/when......

How about basing it off of the total number of submitted works for the month? The fewer the works, the fewer the top number.
