devianArt moderator adds a poll to see who wants the Fractal Gallery to change!

[Thunderwave]

http://dragonwinter.deviantart.com/journal/poll/1354655/
Dragonwinter thinks there isn't enough people who care to make the Fractal Gallery its own and not under digital art.
First of the gallery only accepts Fractals generated by fractal generating software ALONE!  Meaning no overlapping no imagination added no mixing images with it no freedom to express.

Please vote and add suggestions.  I strongly encourage fractals to be its own category!  And please make this topic a priority, sticky, etc.

There's a chat going on here, http://chat.deviantart.com/chat/communityrelations from 8am to 12pm PST, 30 minutes from this post it starts.  Please attend to see what they are talking about, there will be a tutorial by platinus (The one who wrote a misinforming article here http://news.deviantart.com/article/69703/).  The new Moderator Dragonwinter has suggested to vote, I suggest we see if anyone cares enough to chat about it in public, in the chat.

Thank you for your time!
Nick

Sticky Priority?
I dunno, lol

Either way, I voted in that poll and added my opinion...
Fractals only by fractal software is kinda strange...
I mean, I handdrew fractals several times already and one of my current fractal art images in the dA gallery actually is not generated by what would probably be the definition of a fractal program:
The Wada Basin renders are made in Indigo, which is a photorealistic raytracer, not a fractal art program.
I set up four reflective spheres in a tetrahedron and three planes emitting in red, green and blue and a camera in the middle of the whole thing, pointing down. that's how I did that fractal. No fractal program, just infinite light reflections...

I added a typical of me comment.

Probably non-productive, but it's how I feel...

Thanks so far to those who posted.  So far I think it's going okay.  The poll kind of sucks with its choices.  It spreads it thin and leaves the idea that more people like the gallery the way it is. but at 33% (2:19pm PST), say no people don't like it the way it is.

Feel fre to spread the word and any other fractal sites, can I post this to..?

UPDATE: DeviantArt has now changed fractal categories.  They no longer exist under digital and are on their own.  They divided it into four categories:
1. Fractal Animations
2. Fractal Manipulations
3. Raw Fractals
4. Traditional Fractals

Raw fractals are suppose to be fractals using fractal algorithms and traditional is by hand or by other means.

Well, I hope the dA community is happy.
