"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." Bertrand Russell
It is my understanding that they go there according to lack of votes only. Has to have 5 votes to stay out of there unless I am mistaken which is possible. Sad given the number of comments without votes on many of those images.
It was initially intended I think to get images that may have been missed the attention they might deserve, but I think it's backfiring and humiliating folks instead? ;( "Lonely Images" is also not under "Galleries" so it's often missed as a frequently visited gallery anyway.
**For those of you with images there, I'd like to encourage you not to be discouraged. It will not determine whether your image goes permanent or not.
