Is it just my imagination, Or is the standard of things which pass the portal getting even worse. Don't get me wrong, I know that there has been crap passing through the portal for years. But, Lately I have noticed that its gone downhill even more. With slide show looking animations, with no sound, and crap graphics are still making there way through.
I think all the people voting these days are too easily fooled. They see a decent Preloader, and a decent page for the file itself, and they basically just assume its a great movie. Yesterday I saw two movies next to one another that were both absolutely horrible. I gave both of them 0's. Normally I hand out my scores without just using 0 or 5. But these were both truly bad movies. One had no animation, no coloring, no sound, and was just bad in general. The next was a 30second fight scene with sprites. I'm not biased to sprite movies at all, But it has no Preloader, and would have been made in 5 minutes.
I went back to the portal 20 minutes later, To see that both had passed. With scores or 2.2 or 2.5. I was disappointed in the portal, Which I love so dearly.
