Cool Piece, but you should really post all your new items in The Official "This week in your Original Art collection" thread. I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but for some reason you chose to ignore it.

To be fair, I see others creating their own threads as well (the movie poster thread for instance - which I find very interesting and fun to read), but it does seem to be a frequent offering from @drfate.

drfate has ignored the polite requests to list his new art posts in the "This week your Original Art Collection" thread.

That piece of art posts an interesting question. Can you get get it up in zero gravity?

Far as I'm aware, the Doctor doesn't contribute anything to any of the discussions going on these forums and seems more concerned about getting hits for his art on CAF (or attracting would-be buyers).  He seems to be struggling trying to get the multiple-thousand views his stuff seemingly once attracted . . . I take it CAF fixed the apparent loophole for members to push-up the counts on their own stuff?

He has some great art, for sure, but . . . sorry, a lot of those counts seem artificially-high to me?

well I guess his strategy of making thinly veiled FOR SALE posts in the discussion forum seems to be working for him, as the piece is gone from CAF and apparently sold. I believe he was asking $1500, which is a healthy profit on the $450 he paid for the BIN on eBay in January of this year.  And I don't mean a BIN that was snapped up in a matter of minutes being posted either, it was on ebay for days.  

Hopefully the new owner doesn't feel like a:

Who knows, probably just pop up on Romitaman in the next couple of days

Wow!!  Not cool.

yeah, I think Bill changed it to only count unique counts from registered users.  At least that is the default and there is some ways to see all counts.  In the old way, your own views could never increase your count, but you can always just log out and hit refresh (or do it in an automated way)

and to be fair, I sometimes create special threads for new art too, only for bigger pieces that I think deserve attention.  But if we decide that we should only post new art in that one thread, I will of course follow those rules.

But when you do that, you are not using your thread to overtly or discretely sell the piece.

Yes, that is correct, when I do that I truly am excited to have a piece and I am shouting to the world (or the original art collecting world that frequents these boards..)
