Another success story :)

CMON is run by a fellow named Chern Ann... a veritable saint of patience and dedication. And I\'m not even just sucking up... that\'s pretty much true. He is helped by \"borg\", and all the numerous moderators who approve comments and image submissions. From server upgrades to fighting database duplication errors, to putting up with painters who repeatedly delete their galleries... they do it all.

EDIT - from the FAQ:

CoolMiniOrNot was inspired by HotOrNot.com and similiar sites, and was the brainchild of David Doust (borg). The site started out in 2001 with a simple image voting script. People liked the idea, word spread and CMON soon passed the 400 submission mark.

Whilst the site was gaining in popularity, there were problems with people submitting others pictures without permission, the general anonymity of submitters and the lack of browsing features.

At about that time, Ng Chern Ann started a revised script on littlebrush.com with much needed features that would benefit CoolMiniOrNot. David contacted Chern Ann, the two struck a deal to share the site and within weeks CoolMiniOrNot got a total overhaul:

1. Pictures had to go through an approval process to avoid the submission of pictures that was not their own
2. A browse page with detailed searching
3. Vote tracking
4. a better forum

Ever since then new features have been added, often on a daily basis!

Today CoolMiniOrNot is the largest painted miniature archive on the Internet, and is constantly growing.
