If I'd drink wine for the taste, I'd rather drink grape juice instead which tastes a lot better. Wine is just rotten ("fermented" for you scientists and enthusiasts) juice.
I think AmbroseC is right, this is what I've heard as well.
I felt a little strange when I saw a gazillion posts and some that weren't that neat as before.
The speed of what is posted should be controlled too if this queue thing continues (my vote is for a big NO) - sometimes with a trillion new posts, a very good one can be easily buried by useless bot-things. Limiting the number of posts can be a drag because submissions will continue - and raise over time I suppose.
I wouldn't like to see Neatorama turned into a Wiki. Or a public blog. As others said, I've stopped browsing after the 2nd page of "new" posts.
To each one its own, but I am also a fractal artist myself (since... 1996?) and I don't find it amusing that people use Photoshop to embelish their works, to me it's pure cheating although it can still be art - sometimes. My fractals went to the Lincoln Center in an exhibition some years ago without a single touch of Photoshop. They could look prettier though, if I had used it.
I am a bit away of the fractal world since the easyness of Apophysis and its random parameters made everyone else a fractal artist. Try Fractint, people.

And Michael is neither.
There are too many other icons missing here.
