Now im a hard working Scratcher. I try bringing my Spongebob gallery to be the best it can be and get more views and comments. Now im not trying to start anything with fellow Scratchers, but it makes me sick that some people can just make a gallery (egs. add them all) and heaps of people add there projects and the gallery is well known. But is it really well known because of the projects? or is it just a place for people to blog? Yes i must admit it gives novice Scratchers a bit of excitement having their project in a gallery, but little do they know that there very projects are just making this gallery bigger and more people are blogging and being noticed easier.Yes these galleries might be popular and attract and recruit more Scratchers, but isnt a gallery supposed to be about a particular subject? So i think that the Scratch team should make a decision. So heres my plan, we get rid (note: this is just an idea) of all 'add them all' galleries and the Scratch Team can just make a big gallery for this, where Scratchers can get there projects shown without them being exploited. Anyway, this is just an idea, post your thoughts about 'add them all' galleries here.

no one actually looks at add them all galleries and it would be pretty hard for scratch to delete them all and they aren't making people look less at your gallery. and besides, do the add them all galleries really harm the site? add them all galleries don't do anything.
and if a gallery is bigger it doesn't necessarily become noticed more and having an add them all gallery won't do anything for you. if you want people to look at your gallery search for relevant games and post comments on them asking if they would like to be in your gallery

Well i think they are. Click on the galleries link, and you're bound to find an 'add them all' gallery. What this does is push other 'subject' galleries on to the second page. And lets face it, its rare that some people click the second page link.
If you have a look at the comments, you'll tend to find that the gallery has a variety of Scratchers.
Another fact about 'add them all' galleries is that i was browsing through one, and i found a comment that said

i think thats enough evidence to prove that 'add them all' galleries arent about projectst being the bigges.
