Featured Customs - How are those determined/chosen?

Posted in Figure Realm Comments and Questions

Hey hey all, I was curious as to how the featured customs are listed? Are those chosen by staff of the site or voted on like the contests? I've never seen any vote type option for featured and honestly not trying to sound off base here but some recent customs have been outstanding lately (ohh lawd no, I don't mean any of mine lofl) yet not even listed in featured despite blowing away what was currently up in the featured list - although that I suspect is a matter of opinion respectively .

I was just wondering and thought to ask so when you have time to spare and can answer, I'd appreciate it!

"I don't know how a new "User Voted Featured" section would be different from the Most Talked About section anyway, since that's essentially what it is" ahhhhhh and now I DOH! you're onto something there, that hadn't even crossed my mind honestly . Reminds me of when my wife says "well this is the same thing" and I'm always left standing there looking mighty spiffy .

Ahh thanks for the link . What do you gentlemen think of a split "Featured" ?

For example a 2 Row setup where top row of featured is reserved for those who pay, bottom row is member voted of the week (that is if, you believe there would be enough people voting because if not would defeat the purpose per say). Or even a color coded Featured where those with a red 2/3/4px border are featured based on member level then another color border for member voted featured etc etc

Just an idea and it would bring more interaction imho (but again only if those who see the site stats and login counts think it would even work).

I think between the Featured, Most Talked About, Blast From the Past, and Figure Inque sections we have enough ways to spotlight people's work without making the Customs page too cluttered.

I don't know how a new "User Voted Featured" section would be different from the Most Talked About section anyway, since that's essentially what it is, with people voting with their comments (which I much prefer over anonymous/arbitrary votes/numbers)

I think you have the option to have your customs appear in the Featured section for a few days if you pay for one of the contribution packages here - http://www.figurerealm.com/customdonate

Here's the FAQ page - http://www.figurerealm.com/help#2-52

By comparison, the customs featured in the Figure Inques are all picked by me, though I'm fine with other realmers making suggestions and contributing (provided they submit a decent write-up).
