Perfectly good artists have been rejected over and over again, based on the most ridiculous criticism, while I can easily point to art on there that looks like it was drawn by a toddler.
Suffice to say, plenty of artists such as Miranda Leigh and Gillpanda have rightfully stopped their posting-activity there because the "moderators" (if you can call them that) were acting like complete babies, which consequently also stirred up a lot of drama in the comment-section over there.
I hope this gives you a little more insight. I know this sounds like a case of "that's just like, your opinion, man", but I can ensure you that many people in the TF community feel the same about Transfur. I've been a visitor of that website since 2003 or so, and I wouldn't be saying this just to troll them.
So yeah... Screw Transfur. I hope we can get a real flag-ship TF gallery in the near future. Maybe Process-Productions? Who knows.

Well, but it is something that has happened in most of the popular TF sites. I remember the problems with the guy running the gtshub (Blar?) or the discussions (some of them posted in this forum) with Shadowlord (his site is still running, though). So that is nothing new, and for sites like those, you know that you have to deal with the tastes, occurrences and preferences of the owners/moderators.
