Maybe I'm just going to different sites, but I don't feel the need to give someone my e-mail address just so I can have the "privilege" of looking at THEIR pictures. That's my point. I'm all for registering in order to post, but just to look at their stuff, half of which is crap? They might as well just wall off the whole forum and not let anyone in to look at the messages, either.
And that anti-plagiarism argument is bullshit. If I wanted to steal something, I'd sign up for an account, THEN steal the work. There's no way to link an image to an account.
I'm not saying that I "deserve" to see their stuff... it's certainly their right to do whatever they want, regardless of whether I understand their logic. I just think it's silly.

It looks like a Photoshop filter(s) and a mish mash of images from RTOJ crammed into one scene. Dont look like it's a drawing though.
