@anonymous: both of those new genres (fantasy film noir, sci-fi historical fiction) are established and popular; Urban Fantasy (e.g. Dresden Files or Nightside series) and whatever you call Eric Flint's 16~~ series (among others). But I think that serves more as support of the idea than detraction, because both combinations had excellent results.
I would love to see the Moonlight Sonata serving as the intro/base for some awesome (perhaps jrpgish) boss music. That's always struck me as an awesome combo: the sort of rolling inevitability of the music lends it a sense of power.
Generally, I think it's better that new submissions not start out on top--it sorta leads to chaos, and makes the ratings less meaningful. I also don't think it's a good idea to make it a difficult process, because that will lead to people simply not bothering, thus perpetuating bad pieces staying on top. At best, you'd probably end up with a red-steckled elbermung sort of situation, where it just devolves into pointing at things and saying "No, no, no."
I was quite excited when this general idea was first brought up. I feel like this would be more useful, and does really have the potential to encourage the sort of collaboration which could add a lot of value to the site. I have, for instance, had a lot of fun working with Blarumyrran's and Antifarea's works, and it would be neat for that sort of thing to be encouraged.
I do wonder, though, whether there will come a time when hand-assigning art will become logistically difficult (though the results would definitely be better).
Well, similarly, a Windows user like me is unlikely to want to spend a lot of time on a linux-only project. It's certainly an important thing to consider, though, since I suspect a relatively large proportion of the population here are linux users.
Well, at least not random chunks of assets. If they could be gathered in such a way as to be generally useful to a variety of projects that would be good.

But yeah, that's sort of a random idea
Yeah... I was about to comment the same thing. You really won the name lottery. Would you mind if I named one or more dwarves after you in the future?

not pictured: excellent and meaningful commentary
Hmm.... I like it! Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a 2.0, and that'll definitely be top priority. Great edit, there.
This is one reason I love pixel art. No formatting issues! Just don't ever use .jpg, and you're golden.
Yeah, this spider is an epic win. Fantastic work, Nubux!
